From ewa at python.org Tue Feb 5 15:22:12 2019 From: ewa at python.org (Ewa Jodlowska) Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2019 14:22:12 -0600 Subject: [PSF-Community] Python Developers Survey 2018 Results Message-ID: Hi Pythonistas! We are excited to share with you the results of the Python Developers Survey 2018! In the fall of 2018, over *twenty thousand developers* from more than 150 different countries participated to help us map out an accurate landscape of the Python community: View the results of Python Developers Survey 2018: https://www.jetbrains.com/research/python-developers-survey-2018/! We hope the survey results will help you better understand the current state of the Python developer community, see the big picture, and answer some of your potential questions. Find out about the most popular types of Python development, trending frameworks, libraries and tools, additional languages used together with Python, adoption rates for different Python versions, and gain many other insights into the world of Python. We couldn?t include all the potential findings in the report without making it too long. If you have specific questions that are unanswered, send them to us (surveys at python.org) and we?ll dig into the data for an answer. If you want to check out the data yourself, here's the link to the raw data ( https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1giaGOhJYWIXfZzy-zxmbrUIOB9Y_ROdu). Huge thanks to all the participants of the survey and to the amazing team at PSF and JetBrains, which worked hard to make this happen!

Emily Morehouse-Valcarcel spoke for our first conference when we met in Vancouver, B.C. Frank brought up PyColorado. I said whatever I can do to help. Scott Vitale and I have participated in calls with the Capital One lead in their campaign to encourage conferences to go swagless. We want to figure out how conference sponsors can drive booth traffic by offering donations to the Python Software Foundation instead of handing out t-shirts. Eloisa and I will confer after PyCascades concludes and our PuPPy gift to Guido for BDFL retirement event takes place in Seattle on April 2nd. ?

We're seeking many types of narrative, performance, and visual art about the experience of programming and making technology -- both Python specifically and programming more generally. I hope we can showcase several different artists, including people who have to gather the courage to share their work publicly for the first time, and whose art explores varied experiences -- including ones that we often don't discuss factually in public, because (for example) they're embarrassing or because we have non-disclosure agreements. And I hope we get a range of tones -- humor, awe, melancholy, anger, joy, and so on. I regret to say that there is no pay involved. The festival will be Friday, May 3rd. The deadline for submissions is February 28th. There's a related effort by !!Con (May 11-12, NYC) to also encourage "not-talks" as submissions -- their CfP is open till March 3rd http://bangbangcon.com/give-a-talk.html , and they offer speaker travel funding and a USD $256 honorarium! So you can propose the same "not-talk" to "The Art of Python" and to !!Con. Please feel free to reply to me off-list if you have questions about art you'd like to share!

Jesse Jiryu Davis *Python Language Summit 2019* The Python Language Summit is an event for the developers of Python implementations (CPython, PyPy, Jython, and so on) to share information, discuss our shared problems, and ? hopefully ? solve them. These issues might be related to the language itself, the standard library, the development process, status of Python 3.8 (or plans for 3.9), the documentation, packaging, the website, et cetera. The Summit focuses on discussion more than on presentations. If you?d like to *attend and actively participate* in the discussions during the Language Summit, please fill in this form by *March 21st 2019*. We will be evaluating all applications and confirm your attendance by April 15th. Note: *your attendance is not confirmed* until you heard back from us. You don't need to be registered for PyCon in order to attend the summit. One of the goals of the Language Summit is to speed up the discussions and decision making process. Communication over Discourse (or mailing lists!) is generally more time consuming. As part of efforts to make this event more open and less mysterious, we are not requiring invitations by core developers anymore. However, please understand that we will have to be selective as space and time are limited. In particular, we are prioritizing active core contributors, as well as those who we believe will be able to improve the quality of the discussions at the event and bring a more diverse perspective to core Python developers. As for other changes this year, A. Jesse Jiryu Davis will be covering the event and will post a detailed write up on the official blog of The PSF shortly after the conference. We hope to see you at the Summit! -- Mariatta and ?ukasz PS. If you have any questions, the Users section of our Discourse instance is the best place to ask. For private communication, write to mariatta at python.org and/or lukasz at python.org. ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
