He has worked and led teams of developers from Latin America to the Middle East. Always building different types of products and custom solutions involving data processing, distributed systems, and Machine Learning. FastAPI was included in the last official Python developer survey of 2020, and it was ranked as the 3rd most used Python web framework. And by different metrics, FastAPI could be considered the Python web framework with the highest growth rate. FastAPI, Typer, and some of the other open-source tools are currently used by many teams of all sizes, from solo developers to many renowned corporations. And these libraries are used for building applications ranging from small data handling tools to complex systems for machine learning, astronomy, and many other fields. Sebasti?n was recently part of Explosion, in Germany, the team that created spaCy, a popular open-source NLP toolkit. Currently, Sebasti?n is dedicating a high percentage of his working time to FastAPI, Typer, and the other open-source projects, while also helping a small number of companies and teams as a consultant.

Guruprasad) Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2021 14:09:42 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] [Commercial][Job] OpenCraft is hiring senior open source developers Message-ID: <98d0d402-1fae-2507-ae5c-1f3a4441d3eb@gmail.com> Hi all, OpenCraft (https://opencraft.com) is looking to hire senior open source developers. About OpenCraft: **Open-source and open first** We are a team of veteran open-source developers, working on educational and community-based projects in an open-first environment ? and we are looking for new members. By joining us, you will work full-time on open-source, pushing your changes to free software projects upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation, or help on public forums. We care deeply about contributing our work upstream. You will see the results of your work reused and recognized across the educational community, increasing access to quality education for everyone, everywhere. OpenCraft runs on the open first principle. Most of our conversations, code, and policies are publicly viewable. Our handbook, like much of our work, is publicly viewable and you can find it at https://handbook.opencraft.com/. You can also visit our forums at https://forum.opencraft.com/. **Remote-first** Unlike companies who reluctantly started to accept remote workers recently, we have embraced it from day 1. For the past 7 years, we have based and refined our way of working around remote-friendly workflows, from the ground up. No day-long video meetings, mandatory work hours, or risk of being forced back into an office one day -- as long as you have a good internet connection, it?s none of our business when or where you work from. We are all working remotely, from all continents (except Antarctica, at least so far - applicants welcome!). We use remote-friendly and timezone-agnostic workflows based on asynchronous principles and good documentation practices. **Online education** We are one of the main contributors to the Open edX project, the main open-source MOOC platform created by MIT, Harvard and many other top universities. It powers sites like edX.org, the MIT Open Learning Library, and the national online learning platform for France. We provide development and hosting for institutions like Harvard Medical School, Harvard LabXchange, Cloudera, Autodesk, and several governments. We are not affiliated with edX.org, but we contribute and work with them on various projects. **Technical stack** The Open edX project is a large Python/Django codebase, with good code standards and architecture. Tasks are varied, from developing core platform features, custom exercises and tools for specific courses (XBlocks), customizing and deploying instances, working full-stack, operating our service infrastructure, improving our hosting platform, etc. You won't get bored here. We welcome applicants of all genders and ethnicities. Basic Requirements: - Experience with contributing to free software projects - small contributions are completely fine, but you must have at least one patch or pull request merged in a third-party project, or been a maintainer of an open source project with significant adoption. (Note that you can contribute now to satisfy this requirement - see for example the Open edX release issues, fixing one of these issues guarantees an interview.) - Senior developer with 3+ years working with Python - Experience with Python web frameworks, specifically Django - 3+ years of HTML, Javascript, and CSS (experience with React and/or Typescript is a big plus!) - Experience with unit testing - Comfortable working in a Linux environment, specifically Debian or Ubuntu - Experience with databases: MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL Additional Skills: You will work on tasks from the following categories, but you can pick up the skills on the job if you haven't mastered these yet: - DevOps experience, especially on Debian/Ubuntu servers, Terraform, Vault, Packer, Prometheus, ELK, Docker. We are building a modern infrastructure and having a strong DevOps presence on top of core software engineering skills is a big plus with us. - Cloud computing, like AWS or OpenStack - Configuration management tools such as Ansible, Consul - RabbitMQ, Redis & Elasticsearch - Mobile development (iOS and/or Android) - Managing clients & projects from beginning to completion (senior developer) - Public speaking at conferences (you would present a talk every year at the Open edX Con) Visit https://opencraft.com/jobs/open-source-developer/ for more details and to apply for the job.

What are In-kind Sponsors? In-kind sponsorship is a type of sponsorship where the sponsor agrees to provide swags (either physical or virtual, value-in-kind) instead of cash as part of the sponsorship agreement with PyCon India. These swags or the benefits would be made directly available to PyCon India 2021 attendees. What's in it for the sponsors? This act of goodwill while giving back to the community helps sponsors increase their brand exposure and elevate their business identity within the Python community. Interested in applying for the In-Kind Sponsorship?

Message-ID: Hello, Zainab & team from the Privacy Mode programme at HasGeek recently produced a report on the IT Rules which we shared with MEITY and other stakeholders. The report is published at https://hasgeek.com/PrivacyMode/it-rules-il-guidelines-2021/sub/it-rules-2021-intermediary-guidelines-concerns-and-7swxnPZrCPooJUdLPPqz2u . This has also prompted them to conduct a developer-centric survey to see how aware the dev-community at large is with respect to these rules and what our opinions about them are - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ITRulesSurvey So I thought I'd take this opportunity, aided by Zainab, to provide our Bangpypers community members with some links pertaining to the IT Rules and Guidelines passed by the Ministry Of Electronics And Information Technology (MEITY) dated Feb 25 2021 which came into effect on May 25 2021 so we might keep ourselves informed of the same. Programming languages, our enablers of tech, do not exist in a vacuum. a) Official IT Rules passed by MEITY - https://www.meity.gov.in/writereaddata/files/Intermediary_Guidelines_and_Digital_Media_Ethics_Code_Rules-2021.pdf (English version starts Pg 19) b) Overview of the UK Online Safety Act and comparison with India's IT Rules: https://hasgeek.com/PrivacyMode/it-rules-il-guidelines-2021/sub/u-ks-online-safety-bill-an-overview-Q4tqqStTUhtjr7zzmGgJa4 c) Matthew Green 's RootConf keynote on the state of tech and policy debates on encryption: End-to-end encryption: State of the Technical and Policy Debate : https://hasgeek.com/rootconf/data-privacy-conference/sub/end-to-end-encryption-state-of-the-technical-and-p-X8h4qierQT4Da31x7cRFYe d) https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-nadu/2021/jun/24/madras-hc-issues-notice-to-centre-on-plea-challenging-new-it-rules-2320637.html e) https://www.deccanherald.com/specials/signal-may-face-sanctions-from-indian-government-over-non-compliance-of-new-it-rules-1000900.html In addition to arming yourself with the knowledge, do take the survey on the link (re-attaching) - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ITRulesSurvey and go through the PDF on point (a) + the report published by Hasgeek above.
