The Summer pyGames project, organized by Elizabeth Barndollar of BAE Systems, Travis Axtel of SPAWAR, and Zenko Klapko of the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.csclug.org/">Charleston Linux Users Group</a>, is a six-week long competition during which high school students develop open-source educational software and games to be used and distributed to 3000 schools in South Carolina.</p>According to Elizabeth Barndollar, in two years the project has grown from seven students to include seven teams in SC, FL, NJ, VA and Canada. The Summer pyGames is helping to inspire students, teach them the value of open-source software, and (even better) learn Python. in the first two editions, XO laptops and netbooks were distributed to the wining teams. This year the organizers are planning to have even more great prizes. <p>Registration to the 2011 contest is on "Pi day", 03/14/2011. All students are challenged to participate and create games that make Math, Language and Science fun.</p>To learn more about the Summer pyGames project please visit <a class="reference external" href="http://www.summerpygames.org/">their website</a>. <p> <span style="font-style: italic;">UPDATE: Recently, the PSF awarded a US$ 1,000 grant to help in the organization of the upcoming edition.</span></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/12361293458447621754' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/12361293458447621754' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Unknown</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2010/12/summer-pygames.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2010/12/summer-pygames.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2010-12-27T11:32:00-05:00'>12/27/2010 11:32:00 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1133386874'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8520&postID=4631327467099381694&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Thursday, December 09, 2010</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='8520' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='5176398296825600394' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='5176398296825600394'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2010/12/psf-supports-2010-scipy-india.html'>PSF supports 2010 SciPy India</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-5176398296825600394' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="document" id="psf-supports-2010-scipy-india"> --> <p>The Python Software Foundation has awarded a USD $1250 grant to help fund sprints at the 2010 <a class="reference external" href="http://scipy.in/">SciPy India Conference</a>, being held in Hyderabad between December 13th and 18th. The conference consists of two days of talks, three days of a combination of morning tutorials and afternoon coding sprints, as well as an additional full day of sprints. The conference focuses heavily on tutorials and coding sprint, as the adoption of Python for scientific programming is not as wide-spread in India as it is in the US and Europe.</p> <p>Since the Scipy India Conference targets students and faculty, it is essential that costs are kept as low as possible for attendees. To that end, most of the conference costs are covered by <a class="reference external" href="http://fossee.in/">FOSSEE</a> (Free and Open-source Software for Science and Engineering Education).

id="bug-weekend-nov-20-21"> <p>The development team of the Python interpreter (a.k.a python-dev) is organizing a bug weekend on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st of November.</p> <p>We would like to encourage anyone who feels interested in participating to give it a try. Contributing to Python is much less intimidating than it sounds. You don't need to have previous experience with modifying the Python source; in fact bug days offer a good opportunity to learn the basics by asking questions and working on relatively simple bugs (see "how to get prepared" below). And most core developers are actual human beings!</p> <div class="section"> <h4><a id="how-it-happens" name="how-it-happens">How it happens</a></h4> <p>The bug week-end will happen on the #python-dev IRC channel on the Freenode network, where several core developers routinely hang out. No physical meeting is scheduled, but anyone is encouraged to organize one and announce it on the official Python channels such as this one.</p> <p>Participants (you!) join #python-dev and collaboratively go through the Python issue tracker at <a class="reference" href="http://bugs.python.org/">http://bugs.python.org</a> . From there, you can provide patches and/or review existing patches. Also, you can help us assess issues on any specific topic you have expertise in (the range of topics touched in the stdlib is quite broad and it is more than likely that the core developers' expertise is lacking in some of them).</p> <p>Or, if you feel shy, you can simply watch other people work and get more conf ident about participating yourself. Development is public and lurkers are welcome.</p> </div> <div class="section"> <h4><a id="what-you-can-work-on" name="what-you-can-work-on">What you can work on</a></h4> <p>Our expectation is that Python 3.2 beta 1 will have been released a couple of days before the bug week-end and, therefore, one primary goal is to polish the 3.2 branch for the following betas and the final release. There are many issues to choose from on the bug tracker; any bug fixes or documentation improvements will do. New features are discouraged: they can't be checked in before the official 3.2 release.</p> </div> <div class="section"> <h4><a id="how-to-get-prepared" name="how-to-get-prepared">How to get prepared</a></h4><a id="how-to-get-prepared" name="how-to-get-prepared"> </a><p><a id="how-to-get-prepared" name="how-to-get-prepared">If you are a beginner with the Python codebase, you may want to read the development guide available here (courtesy of Brian Curtin):</a><a class="reference" href="http://docs.pythonsprints.com/core_development/beginners.html"> http://docs.pythonsprints.com/core_development/beginners.html</a></p> <p>There's a small practical guide to bug days/week-ends on the wiki: <a class="reference" href="http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonBugDay">http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonBugDay</a></p> <p>And the development FAQ holds answers to generic development questions: <a class="reference" href="http://www.python.org/dev/faq/">http://www.python.org/dev/faq/</a></p> <p>You can also do all of the above during the bug week-end, of course.

The first and last got done fully, the middle one mostly done. And Hugo Lopes Tavares closed a number of miscellaneous tickets along the way as well."</p> <p>Carl also told us that he enjoyed being a mentor for the project. Hugo went on to join Globo.com when GSoC was over and thinks that his experience with GSoC helped him get hired.</p> </div> <div class="section"> <h4><a id="rpy2" name="rpy2">rpy2</a></h4> <p>Laurent Gautier of the <a class="reference" href="http://rpy.sourceforge.net/ rpy2.html">rpy2</a> project also enjoyed being a mentor.

For example, he is the founder of the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.stackless.com/">Stackless Python</a> project, a micro-threading system with the first implementation of generators and continuations. You can learn more about Stackless from the project's <a class="reference external" href="http://www.disinterest.org/resource/stackless/2.6-docs-html/stackless-python.html#history">history page</a> and this <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-pyth7.html">IBM developerWorks interview with Christian by David Mertz</a>.</p><p>Christian also co-founded <a class="reference external" href="http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/">PyPy</a>, an implementation of Python <em>in</em> Python, with Armin Rigo and Holger Krekel. Christian worked on PyPy full time for a period, using EU funding. Later, he worked on the JIT compiler <a class="reference external" href="http://www.psyco.org/">Psyco</a> with Raymond Hettinger to create <a class="reference external" href="http://codespeak.net/pipermail/pypy-dev/2009q3/005288.html">Psyco V2</a>. Most recently, he has been employed by <a class="reference external" href="http://www.ccpgames.com/">CCP Games</a> to work on combining Stackless and Psyco and updating them to support 64-bit systems.</p><p>In 1997, as one of his earliest contributions to the Python community, Christian launched the <a class="reference external" href="http://starship.python.net/">Starship Python</a> website. That was a time when setting up your own server online required considerable effort, and hosting services were nascent and expensive. Starship <a class="reference external" href="http://web.archive.org/web/19990423001035/starship.python.net/intro.txt">filled an important gap</a> as a free playground and hosting site for Python programmers. Members of the Python Software Activity (the forerunner of the PSF) were given preference when requesting accounts on the Starship, which had the effect of increasing membership in the PSA from 60 to 300</p><p>The Starship site was quite popular (by 2000 it had <a class="reference external" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20001204140200/starship.python.net/crew.html">over 250 "crew members"</a>), and moved several times, with several other volunteers helping with the system administration. <a class="reference external" href="http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://starship.python.net/">Old versions of the site</a> are available through the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.archive.org/web/web.php">Internet Archive Way Back Machine</a>. A revived version is running on one of Christian's servers now, but because hosting services are much easier to find today, he is looking for another concept to give it a renewed purpose.</p><p>When he's not working on Python, Christian enjoys watching movies, reading, and practicing playing piano. You can follow him on twitter <a class="reference external" href="http://twitter.com/ctismer">@ctismer</a>.</p><div class="section" id="about-the-award"><h4>About the Award</h4><p>Since 2002, O'Reilly Media has presented the Frank Willison Award for Contributions to the Python Community to someone who has done outstanding work for the Python community.

CPython and <a class="reference external" href="http://ironpython.net/">IronPython</a> have both just released v2.7 with IronPython offering some Python 3 compatibility via a command-line switch. The recent/current migration of <a class="reference external" href="http://numpy.scipy.org/">Numpy</a> and <a class="reference external" href="http://www.scipy.org/">SciPy</a> to Python 3 should give a boost to uptake.</p><p>Amaury confirmed that <a class="reference external" href="http://codespeak.net/pypy/">PyPy</a> currently supports 2.5.2 but is looking to target 2.7. The PyPy guys also announced a C API bridging layer which should enable a range of Python extension modules to work directly with PyPy. This is only a stepping stone by way of broadening support.</p><p>Brett suggested that the <a class="reference external" href="http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/">Unladen Swallow</a> merge to trunk was waiting for some work to complete on the JIT compiler and Georg, as release manager for 3.2, confirmed that Unladen Swallow would not be merged before 3.3.</p></div><div class="section" id="email-module"><h4>email Module</h4><p>The email module needs some work in Python 3. David Murray has been given some money by the PSF but needs more from other sources to complete the work. This is hampered by the legalities around commercial organisations making donations to not-for-profits when those donations are earmarked. Various suggestions were put forward with no-one sure of the legal issues. Guido suggested that we should move forward rather than stall for want of legal advice.</p></div><div class="section" id="wsgi-update"><h4>WSGI Update</h4><p>A broad discussion arose concerning the issues debated on <a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/web-sig/">web-sig</a> concerning the <a class="reference external" href="http://wsgi.org/">WSGI</a> protocol and the bytes vs string issues. Marc-Andr茅 brought up the <strong>cgi</strong> module which has similar issues under Python 3 and other examples were given, including <strong>ftplib</strong>, <strong>urllib</strong>, and some <strong>os</strong> functions.</p><p>Various solutions were put forward including a hybrid bytes-with-encoding object. This proposal was widely unpopular, but two proposals met with broad approval: that certain stdlib functions might be polymorphic, returning the type of their input as output; and that the encoding string should include its error-handling. An example of the first would be that <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">os.getenv("HOME")</span></tt> would return <tt class="docutils literal">"/home/tjg"</tt> while <tt class="docutils literal">os.getenv(b"HOME")</tt> would return <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">b"/home/tjg"</span></tt>. An example of the latter would be <tt class="docutils literal">"utf8:strict"</tt>. Something of the sort already works for PYTHONIOENCODING.</p><p>The issue of a <tt class="docutils literal">__format__</tt> equivalent for bytes was also raised as was the idea of object methods to render an object as string or bytes, which could be used in the polymorphic functions above.</p></div><div class="section" id="stable-application-binary-interface"><h4>Stable Application Binary Interface</h4><p>Martin spoke about the state of the stable ABI PEP (<a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0384/">PEP-384</a>), indicating that he was targeting 3.2. This work would reduce the need to recompile extension modules separately on Windows for every version of Python -- something especially pertinent when code has been orphaned but is still useful.</p><p>The versioned .so files PEP (<a class="reference external" href="http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-3149/">PEP-3149</a>) being worked out by Barry Warsaw overlaps with PEP 384, and would only be useful for extensions which don't target the stable ABI.</p></div><div class="section" id="garbage-collection"><h4>Garbage Collection</h4><p>A messy discussion turned on the question of garbage collection of module objects, and the order in which finalisers are called if at all, especially when reference cycles exist. Marc-Andr茅 was proposing a <tt class="docutils literal">__cleanup__</tt> magic function for Python modules, which would enable the implementer to define the order in which resources are released / closed down. This is quite a subtle area and raised the issue of unfinalised objects in a reference cycle whose memory has been freed out from under them but which still exist. Martin described the Java approach where finalisers are called once and then flagged so they are not called again, even if their object is resurrected. This sounded like a useful approach for Python, but would break code which expected to be able to resurrect an object during its <tt class="docutils literal">__del__</tt> method, which is not expected to account for much code.</p><p>Guido pointed out that no-one can be expected to hold enough of the complexities of this area of Python's implementation in their head, and that an implementation of some sort would need to be written so that the corner-cases could emerge.</p></div><div class="section" id="mac-os-x"><h4>Mac OS X</h4><p>Ronald described the issues around the version and architecture differences on Mac OS X and especially around Tkinter (and therefore IDLE). It was agreed that two installers could be provided: one targeting OS 10.3 on 32-bit Intel/PPC; the other targeting 10.6 on 32 and 64-bit Intel. This latter would then be able to use the system's Tk 8.5. The 10.6 binary would also work for 10.5, which would be indicated in the install docs.</p></div><div class="section" id="mercurial-migration"><h4>Mercurial Migration</h4><p>The Mercurial migration should move forward once Dirkjan has finished work on his thesis. Martin insisted that a for-real repository would have to be set up so that people can really see how it would work. An outstanding issue in hg-svn prevents the Python history from being imported, but it should be fixable. Martin & Tim brought up the issue of externals, which the buildbots use on Windows to bring in and build slightly patched versions of external libraries such as OpenSSL and sqlite3.</p><p>Brett confirmed that he would like to see the stdlib broken out into its own repository which could then be shared between the different Python implementations.</p></div><div class="section" id="python-package-index"><h4>Python Package Index</h4><p>A discussion on the <a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org/">Cheeseshop / Package Index</a> highlighted the fact that the packaging infrastructure has become increasingly important, especially since <a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools">setuptools</a>, <a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout">buildout</a>, and <a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip">pip</a> all download from it. Richard produced graphs showing the increase in package downloads over time, and attributed the recent slight tail-off to the fact that the tool-chains are now becoming more canny with respect to caching and mirroring.</p><p>Martin & Richard confirmed that mirrors are now in place, and Marc-Andr茅 confirmed that he would be putting together a proposal to have <a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org/">PyPI</a> hosted in the cloud. Guido pointed out that if an AppEngine implementation were desirable, he was sure that AppEngine team would support it with resources as needed. Martin didn't feel that there was a problem with loading on the box in question; it's the uptime that's behind people's concern as it's now so essential to installing and deploying Python applications.</p><p>Several people outlined the recent heated discussion over the addition of a checkbox to the PyPI user-registration pages. Tarek has already undertaken to patch PyPI to move the checkbox back one step, allowing existing distutils users to register from the command line. At the same time, Brett advised removing that functionality from distutils2 as signing up on a web page is no great hardship.</p></div></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01892352754222143463' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01892352754222143463' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Doug Hellmann</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2010/07/python-language-summit-europython-2010.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2010/07/python-language-summit-europython-2010.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2010-07-22T08:00:00-04:00'>7/22/2010 08:00:00 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-549884126'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8520&postID=8523783158376678441&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/development' rel='tag'>development</a>, <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/europython' rel='tag'>europython</a>, <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/language' rel='tag'>language</a>, <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/pycon' rel='tag'>pycon</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Monday, July 19, 2010</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='8520' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='7076809613617137628' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='7076809613617137628'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2010/07/pycon-india-2010-grant.html'>PyCon India 2010 Grant</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-7076809613617137628' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="document" id="pycon-india-2010-grant"><p>The PSF Board has offered a grant of $1,000 organizers of the <a class="reference external" href="http://in.pycon.org/2010/">PyCon India</a> 2010 conference to fund the travel expenses of one foreign delegate from the U.S. or Europe to attend the conference.</p><div class="section" id="conference-details"><h4>Conference Details</h4><p>PyCon India 2010 will take place on September 25 and 26 at the M S Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore.

Prior to this, Sean has served as a committee member and handled system adminstration tasks for the python.org servers. He works for tummy.com, a Linux hosting and consulting company, and has years of experience with system administration and hosting.</p><div class="section" id="the-infrastructure-committee"><h4>The Infrastructure Committee</h4><p>The Infrastructure Committee is responsible for the technical details of the Foundation's presence on the internet. They manage web server space, email, DNS registrations, software application hosting for tools such as bug trackers and PyPI, and all of the other tasks around maintaining a professional presence on the net. If the PSF puts something on the internet, the Infrastructure Committee is involved with it in some way.</p><p>The other members of the committee are:</p><p>Thomas Wouters is the liaison between the PSF and <a class="reference external" href="http://www.xs4all.nl/">XS4ALL</a>, the Dutch ISP that generously hosts many of the servers for python.org. Thomas has been contributing time and energy since the servers were originally moved from CNRI to XS4ALL, and still handles a lot of the on-site hardware service when needed.</p><p>Martin v. L枚wis handles a lot of the system administration tasks on the PSF's servers. He manages DNS and development tools like subversion, Buildbot, and the Roundup issue tracker instances for Python-dev, Jython, and setuptools. Martin is also the primary developer of the software behind the Python Package Index, <a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org/">PyPI</a>.</p><p>Andrew Kuchling joined the committee during the migration from SourceForge to Roundup several years ago. He also wrote the templating system used for python.org content, and is still involved with the content management.</p><p>Barry Warsaw is another long-time member of the committee. He has been intimately involved in the email infrastructure, including the development and configuration of the Mailman mailing list management software. Today he acts primarily as an advisor to the other team members.</p></div><div class="section" id="volunteers"><h4>Volunteers</h4><p>Besides the formal committee members, there are two teams of volunteers who do a lot of the day-to-day work for us.</p><p>The postmaster team, including Brad Knowles, Skip Montanaro, Ralf Hildebrandt, Patrick Ben Koetter, and Martijn Pieters, run all of the email services for python.org. That includes individual accounts and aliases for contributors with @python.org addresses along with the Mailman <a class="reference external" href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo">mailing lists</a> and an NNTP-SMTP gateway for the newsgroups. Their motto is "<em>Low spam, high deliverability!</em>"</p><p>The <em>pydotorg-www</em> group serves as webmaster for <a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/">python.org</a>. Their responsibilities include typical webmaster duties, content management, and wiki curation. For example, Michael Foord helps with moderation of the python-dev mailing list as well as editing website content, including managing the <a class="reference external" href="http://planet.python.org/">Planet Python</a> feeds; Martin Thomas adminsters the <a class="reference external" href="http://python.org/community/jobs/">Job Board</a> and news sections of the site; and Aahz triages and responds to email sent to the webmaster alias and handles some of the site updates directly.</p></div><div class="section" id="upcoming-initiatives"><h4>Upcoming Initiatives</h4><p>The Infrastructure Committee has several projects planned for this year:</p><ol class="arabic simple"><li>Establishing a ticketing system for managing internal Foundation business (not Python development).

Van manages all of the activities related to running <a class="reference external" href="http://us.pycon.org/">PyCon US</a>, including organizing the volunteer and paid efforts.</p> <p>This year Jesse Noller will be assisting Van as Vice Chair.

Doug will also be responsible for coordinating the technical vendors for the conference, including A/V, networking, and recording.</p> <p>Greg Lindstrom is returning as Tutorials Coordinator.

As President, Guido serves as the principal representative of the Foundation.</p> <p>Steve Holden is Board Chair. He is responsible for organizing and presiding over all Board meetings and keeping the Foundation focused on fulfilling its mission.</p> <p>Van Lindberg will serve as PyCon Chair again this year. Van manages all of the activities related to running <a class="reference external" href="http://us.pycon.org/">PyCon US</a>, including organizing the volunteer and paid efforts.</p> <p>Most officers are volunteers from the community, but there are two paid positions on the Board. The Secretary and Treasurer both require regular and timely activity in order to keep up with their duties, so nominal compensation is provided for these officers to make that possible.</p> <p>Pat Campbell is Secretary, and keeps all of the records of the Foundation. She also prepares the minutes of the Board meetings and delivers formal notices, for example before the start of official voting periods.</p> <p>Kurt Kaiser continues as Treasurer. Kurt manages the finances of the PSF, receiving income and making payments. He reports the financial status of the Foundation to the members regularly through the members' mailing list.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="new-roles"> <h4>New Roles</h4> <p>In addition to the traditional organizational roles, the Board is working to identify other areas where focused attention is needed and appoint officers to oversee them. Positions for overseeing Membership, Voting, and other areas are planned but not yet filled.</p> <p>As Communications Director, Doug Hellmann is responsible for publishing information from the Board, with priority given to any actions taken at Board meetings.

The PSF has agreed to provide funding to groups interested in organizing sprints related to:</p> <ul class="simple"> <li>Python core tasks such as bug triage and evaluating patches</li> <li>Python core documentation work</li> <li>Porting existing third-party libraries to run under Python 3</li> <li>Enhancing <a class="reference external" href="http://python.org/">http://python.org/</a> with new content, organization, or design work</li> <li>Development of <a class="reference external" href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypi">PyPI</a></li> </ul> <p>Over time, other projects may be added as the committee identifies them. Complete instructions for proposing a sprint for your group will be posted once they are worked out.</p> <p>In the mean time, the Sprint Committee needs volunteers to help launch this project. The first steps will be to set up some communication channels, and then start developing several guides for new contributors.

This includes the source code for the C implementation of the Python interpreter, the Python standard library, and any related tools and documentation. In order to share the source code and documentation with users of Python, the PSF needs to hold a valid license that gives us permission to do so. The licensing requirement applies to every contribution, so the PSF board is contacting all contributors to make sure they have filled out a <a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/">contributor agreement</a>.</p> <p>In June 2009, Andrew Kuchling analyzed the svn repository for CPython and compared the actual contributor names with the list of people who had signed an agreement. 39% of the lines in the Python 2.7 portion of the tree were committed by developers without signed agreements. Around 31% of the lines for Python 3.1 came from unsigned contributors. Through the efforts of Andrew and other PSF members, those statistics improved to 8.5% for Python 2.7 and 9.9% for Python 3.1 by February of 2010.</p> <p>Our goal is 100% coverage, so if <em>you</em> have contributed source code or documentation, either directly or via a patch in the <a class="reference external" href="http://bugs.python.org/">issue tracker</a>, please make sure you have submitted a form. If you are unsure of your status, you can check your <a class="reference external" href="http://bugs.python.org/">issue tracker</a> account by logging in and then clicking the "Your Details" link in the left sidebar. The account details page includes a "Contributor Form Received" field, which will show the date the form was filed. If the field says no agreement was received, please take a few minutes to fill out the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/">contributor agreement</a> and send it in. If you think you have already signed an agreement but the tracker does not show it, contact <a class="reference external" href="mailto:psf@python.org">psf@python.org</a> so we can check our records.</p> </div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01892352754222143463' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01892352754222143463' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Doug Hellmann</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2010/05/have-you-signed-python-developer.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2010/05/have-you-signed-python-developer.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2010-05-20T11:21:00-04:00'>5/20/2010 11:21:00 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-549884126'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8520&postID=3202570284983542416&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/board' rel='tag'>board</a>, <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/contributions' rel='tag'>contributions</a>, <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/development' rel='tag'>development</a>, <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/python' rel='tag'>python</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='8520' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='3564868683224436076' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='3564868683224436076'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2010/05/more-pycon-2010-conference-grants.html'>More PyCon 2010 Conference Grants</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-3564868683224436076' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="document" id="more-pycon-2010-conference-grants"> <p>At their May 10 meeting, the PSF Board approved grants for two PyCon conferences.</p> <div class="section" id="pycon-ukraine"> <h4>PyCon Ukraine</h4> <p><a class="reference external" href="http://pycamp.org.ua/">PyCamp Kyiv</a>, held in January 2010, attracted over 200 attendees so the organizers are planning to host another event this fall. <a class="reference external" href="http://ua.pycon.org/">PyCon Ukraine 2010</a> is scheduled for October 23-24 in Kyiv, Ukraine.

<div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-6037109192378807324' itemprop='description articleBody'> As there is desire for more communication from the board I thought I would take the time to summarize the major activities of last year.<br /> <br /> This dated list is not complete, and reflects only the formal published <a href="http://www.python.org/psf/records/board/resolutions/">board resolutions</a>.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">February</span><br /> <br /> Started the trademarking process in various foreign markets for "Python" (currently on hold for financial reasons).<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">March</span><br /> <br /> Ran PyCon 2009.<br /> Funded a laptop purchase for the PSF administrator.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">April</span><br /> <br /> Supported PyCon Italia with a $3,500 grant.<br /> PSF Community Service Award to Stephan Deibel.<br /> Funded Vern Ceder's attendance to present Python paper at NECC with a grant of $500.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">May</span><br /> <br /> Supported EuroPython 2009 with a $6,000 grant.<br /> Offered support for a grant application to the Mellon Foundation.<br /> Supported Libre Graphics Meeting 2009 with an $800 grant to the GNOME Foundation.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">June</span><br /> <br /> Supported SciPy 2009 with a $10,000 grant to enable student attendance.<br /> Funded ($2,000) research into support for video recording of user group meetings.<br /> Published the Trademark Policy under a Creative Commons license.<br /> PSF Community Service Award to Sean Reifschneider.<br /> Funded ($800) materials for the first ever Python booth at OSCON.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">July</span><br /> <br /> Supported PyCon Poland 2009 with a $2,500 grant.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">August</span><br /> <br /> Supported PyCon Kiwi with a $750 grant.<br /> Supported PyCon Argentina 2009 with a $750 grant.<br /> Supported DjangoCon 2009 with a $750 grant.<br /> Undertook to move to a professional membership administration system<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">September</span><br /> <br /> Modified mission statement to reflect a desire for greater diversity.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">October</span><br /> <br /> PSF Community Service Awards to Noufail Ibrahim and Barry Warsaw.<br /> Formally adopted the PSF Diversity Statement.<br /> Lent formal support to the European FOSS-ORI organization.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">November</span><br /> <br /> Recommended SEO Moves for sponsor membership.<br /> Supported PyTexas Unconference 2009 with a $150 grant.<br /> Supported DjangoSki with a grant of $750.<br /> Supported the Blender Foundation with of up to $1,500 Euros by matching other funding.<br /> Appointed Wendroff Accountants to provide monthly management accounts and other accounting services including annual tax return.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Review</span><br /> <br /> Although the above apparently represents just twelve hours of board meetings, of necessity many of the actions detailed have required a lot of time in preparatory work such as discussions and negotiations. I am grateful to my fellow directors and the other officers for the work they have put in to try and develop the Foundation.<br /> <br /> Besides this formal stuff I personally have continued outreach work to such user groups as I have been able to attend, and I would encourage other directors to do the same. At every meeting I have found a groundswell of interest in and support for the Foundation's activities that is both gratifying and humbling.<br /> <br /> I have also undertaken preparatory investigations to allow us to undertake "fiscal sponsorship", a scheme that will effectively let user groups and other affiliated organizations make use of the Foundation's charitable status by raising funds in a way that allows donors a tax deduction without the need for formal incorporation as a 501(c)3 or similar. I hope that this will also allow the Foundation to start sponsoring sprint activities that will get developers together at crucial times to ensure that development velocity can be maintained.<br /> <br /> We have produced the first issue of a quarterly newsletter (small quantities were available at PyCon) which will be the primary communications channel with the new associate members I hope we will shortly see swelling our ranks (and our coffers). Without the preparatory work to bring the membership management system on-line this development would not have been practical.<br /> <br /> While the Foundation is not yet as organized as I would like to see it we have made some kind of start in a new direction. The financial problems of 2009 did not make things easy. Much remains to be done, but overall we are much better placed to move forward than we were a year ago.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;"> Steve Holden<span style="font-size: small; padding-left: 75px;">Chairman, Python Software Foundation </span></span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(posted by Doug Napoleone)</i></span> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/07331585381804299154' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/07331585381804299154' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Doug Napoleone</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2010/04/chairmans-report-for-year-2009_07.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2010/04/chairmans-report-for-year-2009_07.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2010-04-07T17:55:00-04:00'>4/07/2010 05:55:00 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-203998749'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8520&postID=6037109192378807324&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/organization' rel='tag'>organization</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Friday, March 19, 2010</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='8520' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='1387247932042260147' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='1387247932042260147'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2010/03/2010-q1-community-service-awards.html'>2010 Q1 Community Service Awards</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-1387247932042260147' itemprop='description articleBody'> The PSF Board chose in the first quarter of this year to honor two individuals who have both given outstanding service to PyCon. For the first time framed certificates were actually presented to the recipients in person at the conference.<br /> <br /> Ken Whitesell has been a PyCon supporter for a very long time. It's hard to remember a time when Ken wasn't working behind the reception desk to make sure that delegates received all the help they need. Ken has also done sterling work in presenting many tutorials at PyCon, and has evangelized Python to the commercial world over a long period.<br /> <br /> Yarko Tymciurak has provided several years meritorious service in developing and maintaining electronic registration and payment systems for PyCon. He has also shown exceptional dedication to providing high levels of customer service to both delegates and sponsors, going above and beyond the call of duty in assisting with registration issues.<br /> <br /> Many thanks to both Ken and Yarko.

href="http://www.python.org/psf/bylaws/">PSF bylaws</a>, in order to become a voting member you must be nominated by an existing member.<br /> <br /> The bylaws do <i>not</i>, however, require that directors be members. Board elections are coming up soon, and so anyone interested in becoming a director is invited to nominate themselves, by editing this <a href="http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonSoftwareFoundation/BoardCandidates2010">Wiki page</a>. There is a link on that page to an outline of the duties and responsibilities of being a PSF director.<br /> <br /> As chairman (at least until after the elections) I would be happy to see more competition for the places on the Board - I think a change of lineup from time to time is a very healthy thing, and makes it more likely that new ideas and approaches will emerge. A board seat should be more than just a line to add to your resume - it is also an opportunity to serve the Python community and take a broader role in the open source world.<br /> <br /> Nominations close on Friday February 5, so think about nominating yourself, or (with their permission) somebody else you think would be active in managing the Foundation.
