If you have an hour a week to dedicate (sometimes less is needed!), please email events at python.org. Have a great week!

I'd bet that this is a significant path for event discovery for newbies who aren't already embedded in the network of events and social media streams. I used it to join the wider UK Python community several years ago and have found it very useful since. I'm sure we can pull together a few more people for a few more hours of reviewing and then reviews will speed up.

Learning how to edit events is relatively easy, though alas I have no link. I am pretty sure there is an immediate need for volunteers, so anyone who actually wants to give to the community as well as consume it should feel free to raise a hand! If you would like to try the site's development system, there is a moderate degree of documentation about how the site works and is maintained. Any community member with access to the necessary computing resources can build the site, though I confess it is so long since I dabbled in the code myself I have little current knowledge. I CAN say fairly confidently that working on the site and improving the documentation would be a good project to get involved with to provide evidence of a certain competence and learn some software engineering skills. Also, because the code is open source it's suitable for use in educational and community projects. People who learn it have a real chance of changing the face of python.org. The code for the site is a great resource, and running it locally requires competence that teams and individuals can learn.

That is another area where volunteers (who can start by just joining the list and reading some of the archives) would be more than welcome. As far as I can tell there's just a couple of crusty old white guys (of which I am one) holding the fort and happy to pass on the reigns, such as they are. I believe I am currently the only active list administrator, so just mail me at webmaster at python.org if you are interested in joining that list. It's not high-volume, but it's a part of the Python community's public face, and so needs better representation from our rich community. Once you've assessed the traffic and a bit of list history you can start pitching in whenever you feel comnfortable.

Message-ID: <737c0b9f-f8bb-46b9-b8f2-f133e05a8284@toybox.ca> Hi Python community folk! As we've done for the past many years, Python is hoping to participate in Google Summer of Code.? This is a neat program where students write code over the (northern hemisphere) summer under the tutelage of open source mentors and get paid: we provide the project ideas, mentors and choose the students, Google provides the program framework and the money to pay students.? You can read more about GSoC here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ Python participates as an "umbrella org" where many different smaller projects ("sub orgs") that use Python can take part under our banner.? You can also participate separately, but for people who've never done it before and want help or for whom the paperwork is a hassle, you're welcome to join up with us and let us show you the ropes! It's really fun, and we've gotten lots of new contributors to Python-based projects over the years, taking in as many as 70+ students in a single year.? We need a good set of sub-orgs and ideas by Feb 3th for our application, and if we're accepted by Google we'll be able to add a few more ideas and groups until the end of February. Sound intriguing?? You can read all about what we're doing at http://python-gsoc.org/ (which has answers to questions like "what does it take to be a mentor?" and "what does it take to be a sub-org?") You can also send questions to gsoc-admins at python.org (or just hit reply to this email!) ?Terri PS - Students: we want you too, but student applications don't open 'till March, so this email is mostly for getting new mentors and sub-orgs set up.? But all the info for you is also at http://python-gsoc.org/ if you're interested! From mal at egenix.com Wed Jan 22 05:17:53 2020 From: mal at egenix.com (M.-A.

EuroPython 2020 Pre-launch Website * https://ep2020.europython.eu/ * The main website will go online around early in March and we plan to also open the CFP and ticket sales around that time. It will use the same URL, so you can keep this bookmarked. Some additional updates: ------------------------ - We have signed the venue agreement, so if you have waited with your flight and hotel bookings for the final confirmation of the conference dates, you can now go ahead. Looking at the hotel booking websites, it?s probably a good idea to book early. - We will now enter negotiations with the booth builder and finalize the sponsorship packages. As last year, we?ll again offer an early bird 10% discount for sponsors who sign up in the first few weeks after we?ve published the finalized packages on our blog. Help spread the word -------------------- Please help us spread this message by sharing it on your social networks as widely as possible. Thank you !

Full details at: https://us.pycon.org/2020/events/languagesummit/ *TL;DR* When: Wednesday, April 15, 2020, 9am?4pm (Note, we?re starting 1 hour earlier than usual!) Where: David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, PA Sign up to attend: https://forms.gle/Fg7ayhYTaY75J1r7A (closes Feb 29th, 2020 AoE) Sign up to discuss a topic: https://forms.gle/g4BXezH1Vcn7tLds5 (closes Feb 29th, 2020 AoE) You will be notified by (approx) March 7th, 2019 *Who can attend* We welcome Python core developers, active core contributors to Python and alternative Python implementations, and anyone else who has a topic to discuss with core developers. *Who can propose a discussion topic* If you have discussion items; seeking consensus; awaiting decision on a PEP; needing help with your core dev work; or have specific questions that need answers from core developers, please submit a proposal. According to last year?s feedback, our audience prefer more discussions and shorter talks. To get an idea of past language summits, you can read past years' coverage: 2019: http://pyfound.blogspot.com/2019/05/the-2019-python-language-summit .html 2018: https://lwn.net/Articles/754152/ 2017: https://lwn.net/Articles/723251/ This year's event will be covered by A. Jesse Jiryu Davis again, and will be posted on PSF's blog. Some changes to note this year: 1) We plan to start 1 hour earlier (9AM) 2) The room will have U-shaped table layout If you have any questions, the Users section of our Discourse instance is the best place to ask.
