This abundance of information has outgrown the current website’s taxonomy and fundamental design.<br /> <br /> The key goal of the redesign project is to update Python’s official web presence with an eye towards better organizing the information we have today, and expect to add in the future.<br /> <br /> The end result aims to help our audience find the information they need whether it’s official information like downloads and documentation, or resources from our vibrant community.<br /> <br /> Although the current implementation of the Python website has served its purpose over the years, the time has come for the site to progress and complement the growth and maturity of the language itself as well as the vibrancy of the community.</div> <h3>There’s a lot we want to achieve</h3> <ul> <li>Modern design and experience</li> <li>Concise and intuitive navigation</li> <li>Showcase the simplicity and elegance of the language</li> <li>Attract and convert potential Python users and Python Software Foundation sponsors</li> <li>Represent our vibrant, active community</li> <li>Make it easy for a wide range of contributors to add content</li> <li>Enhance the visibility of the PSF and its sponsors</li> <li>Provide examples of success stories</li> <li>Enhance the visibility of alternate implementations</li> <li>Stable and scalable infrastructure</li> </ul> <div>The redesign involves some tall tasks. From the fresh and modern UI/UX to the online <strong>and</strong> offline content editing features, no aspect of the project is to be taken lightly, or even incrementally. Such approaches have stalled and ultimately failed in the past, and rapidly outstrip the free time our community of volunteers can dedicate to the project.</div> <h3>The Process</h3> <div>This is a process that started <strong>over</strong> two years ago with the drafting of the of the Request For Proposals. <a href="http://pythonorg-redesign.readthedocs.org/en/latest/" target="_blank">This year we issued it publicly</a>, and since that time the psf-redesign team grew to include Nick Coghlan, Doug Hellmann, Idan Gazit, Steve Holden, Brian Curtin, Andrew Kuchling, Issac Kelly, Katie Cunningham, Noah Kantrowitz and others.<br /> <br /> The team received seven bids in total - all of them which included strong points and compelling stories. The team deliberated, ranked, discussed, and asked questions of the bidders, working through the bids for several months. We were constantly impressed by the high quality, well thought out, professional work that the community members submitted to us.<br /> <br /> After the review period came to a close, we had a single bid which ranked higher than any of the others, based on experience, references, and overall quality of the proposal. They'll be working with the second highest rated bid, which contained UI/UX and IA that absolutely floored the reviewers.<br /> <br /> The first bid, submitted by a joint effort between <a href="http://www.projectevolution.com/" target="_blank">Project Evolution</a> and <a href="http://www.revsys.com/" target="_blank">Revolution Systems</a>, was the overall highest ranked bid. The team was unanimous in our recommendation to proceed forward with this bid based on the credentials of the team, quality of the proposal, and their deep understanding of how to work with volunteer organizations, oversight and the community as a whole.<br /> <br /> This bid provides a clear project management and accountability system as well as detailing how they wish to work with the community as a whole to achieve the project goals.<br /> <br /> Second, we had the <a href="https://www.divio.ch/" target="_blank">Divio.ch</a> team bid. The IA/UX/UI work which they poured over 120 hours into as a company impressed us a great deal. We were quite literally floored by the amount of thought, planning, and work invested in the visual and IA aspects of the Divio bid.<br /> <br /> Together with Project Evolution and Revolution Systems leading the project, and the stellar Divio team consulting on the visual/IA aspects of the project, the redesign team and the board is sure that we will be able to deliver a next generation experience. The architecture being developed will achieve all of the goals we set forth when we went down the path of drafting the redesign RFP.<br /> <br /> On September 26th, the Python Software Foundation's board of directors unanimously approved the combined bids:<br /> <blockquote>RESOLVED, that the Python Software Foundation accept the Python.org site redesign proposal set forth by Project Evolution / Revolution Systems and Divio with a budget not to exceed $70,000 in total without further board approval.</blockquote> </div> <h3>Overview of the Accepted Bids</h3> <div>The redesign project will completed by the three teams, Project Evolution, RevSys, and Divio, with a division of labor using the best aspects of each team. The project plan and the back end will be handled by members of Project Evolution and RevSys. Members of Project Evolution will handle the front end work, incorporating the guidance of the Divio team.<br /> <br /> The accepted bids from the three entities can be found below:<br /> <ul> <li><a href="http://redesign.python.org/assets/Python-proposal-Sept2012-cleaned.pdf" target="_blank">Project Evolution and Revolution Systems Bid</a></li> <li><a href="http://redesign.python.org/assets/divio_python_presentation.pdf" target="_blank">Divio Bid</a></li> </ul> <h4>Project Evolution</h4> Project Evolution (PE) is a design driven development team founded in 1999 with clients ranging from school districts to Fortune 1000 fashion conglomerates with international holdings. The 12-person team includes creative leads, front-end and back-end developers, and associated support staff all committed to open-source technology.<br /> <h4>Revolution Systems</h4> Revolution Systems, LLC., based in Lawrence, Kansas, was formed in 2002 by Frank Wiles to help businesses benefit from open source software. While many large organizations use open source software internally (sometimes without their knowledge), he realized that many organizations did not know how to properly take advantage of this revolutionary type of software.<br /> <h4>Divio</h4> Divio, a web agency located in Z眉rich, Switzerland, builds web applications and is specialised in the areas of design and development. For production, Divio uses the Django web framework and is heavily involved in the development of the successful open source projects django CMS and django SHOP.<br /> <br /> The company relies on the agile SCRUM-methodology for its projects.</div> <h3>Screenshots, Maybe?</h3> <p>As if the bids and the prospect of the project were not enough to get you excited, I thought I might share some tidbits from the current mockups we're working through:<br /> <img alt="Docs intro" border="0" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfMAhQtGvIFSVRGdqcH7Eq8p-NdKhA5AFVVldPnYLuhzXgW-0UfO92xesGUP7lKsLaVOb7KbovWPFHZDijMkM5imElGUnm1ttzeXOntxn7DZJl3RmgH6KY7vTB9XwKnlbDVg/?imgmax=800" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="600" /><br /> <img alt="Psf homepage" border="0" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwkRl5oUWpo5Z9INPMrfahFYkj1dFipSRuYTlsQjDCmxLd-t5rc4DYICYthC3G65pFjAB3EfqCdOYjo2k_Lk116nl88yHkVb4AHsncn4VHa6NFZHjWVSZSEVAxC65rDB_ARw/?imgmax=800" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="600" /><br /> <img alt="Super nav" border="0" height="273" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhao-C_d9WuuQuo75WrXrw3SNuSFblSl3shTqi_TfuEkEw-mP-0zMulw2fG_k8Tmwm9uJEIixuOrmf6G1Twad-gcMO5a8s6qBsqF9PHYPcbR7Cv7IOGPPfJaKEkC9ts6KfaQA/?imgmax=800" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="600" /></p> <h3>In Closing</h3> <p>I am sincerely proud, as both a Python community member and PSF director, to have been part of this process. The entire review team, every single submitted bid, and the Foundation's board works tirelessly for a great deal of time pulling together what is already turning out to be an impressive and surprising redesign.<br /> <br /> The design will work on mobile devices. It will follow all of the guidelines of the RFP, support accessibility requirements, and much much more.<br /> Most of all, it will showcase our language and global community like it has never has been before.<br /> <br /> Jesse Noller (<a href="http://jessenoller.com/2012/11/28/the-great-python-org-redesign/" target="_blank">person post on this</a>), Director Python Software Foundation, on behalf of the entire team.</p> <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/07543015027323408421' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/07543015027323408421' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Jesse</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2012/11/pythonorg-is-getting-makeover.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2012/11/pythonorg-is-getting-makeover.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-11-28T02:08:00-05:00'>11/28/2012 02:08:00 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1484215564'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8520&postID=8515059130814296831&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/advocacy' rel='tag'>advocacy</a>, <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/community' rel='tag'>community</a>, <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/infrastructure' rel='tag'>infrastructure</a>, <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/job%20board' rel='tag'>job board</a>, <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/membership' rel='tag'>membership</a>, <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>Tuesday, November 27, 2012</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='2854539000451705709' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='2854539000451705709'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2012/11/grants-to-assist-kivy-nltk-in-porting.html'>Grants to Assist Kivy, NLTK in Porting to Python 3</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-2854539000451705709' itemprop='description articleBody'> <b id="internal-source-marker_0.48396618105471134" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">From time to time, the Python Software Foundation receives </span><a href="http://python.org/psf/grants/"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">grant requests</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> for projects wishing to receive assistance to complete some task.

Whether it’s a project central to the Python language or any of the great projects this community has created, the PSF is there for all and accepts requests from any projects that provide benefit to the Python community.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Requestors are asked to provide answers to questions such as a project background, what work will be completed, who will be involved, who will benefit, and costs associated with the work. The requests then go before the board of directors, who then debate various aspects of each request and render a decision.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The last two months were very interesting for the board, as we received two requests to help finance the porting of projects to Python 3.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Kivy</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In October, the <a href="http://kivy.org/" target="_blank">Kivy</a> project reached out to us with a request to fund their porting efforts, where they requested a grant of $5,000 USD. Their plan includes the porting a number of Kivy project dependencies (their Android and iOS tools), the porting of a number of third-party dependencies (e.g., PIL, gstreamer, opencv), some work on their OSX and Windows packaging, and of course, the core Kivy codebase.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On October 17, the board voted to approve the Kivy request. Their porting effort hopes to be a great story for Kivy and Python 3 on a number of platforms and interfaces, as Kivy supports development of applications for desktops, tablets, and phones, and includes support for multi-touch. We’re really looking forward to sharing more details as the Kivy port moves along.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">NLTK</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Just a few weeks ago, a request came before the board to fund porting efforts for the </span><a href="http://nltk.org/"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">NLTK</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> project. NLTK is the Natural Language Toolkit, a project which exposes very powerful linguistics tools to Python. For many, NLTK is one of the major remaining roadblocks to Python 3 adoption. As many projects have been ported and many more are working on it, getting NLTK on Python 3 will be huge for the community.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On November 21, Mikhail Korborov was granted $1,000 USD to finish the in-progress port of NLTK under the watchful eye of project lead Steven Bird.

The award is offered in recognition of long-term excellence in the Python community, and is intended to stand as the Foundation's highest honor. Whether for contributions of code, activism, evangelism, or for other services to Python and its global community, the Foundation seeks to honor those who have a record of sustained and prolific giving to the Python world.</p><p>The award will not be made to a schedule, but as deserving candidates emerge. It comes with a check for $5,000, in simple recognition of the kind of devoted service for which the award will be presented.</p><p>Full details of the award, and a list of recipients, can be found on the Foundation's <a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/community/awards/psf-distinguished-awards">awards page</a>.</p></div><div class="section" id="the-first-recipient"><h4>The First Recipient</h4><p>The inaugural recipient of the Distinguished Service Award is John Hunter, who passed away on August 28, 2012 after losing an all-too-brief battle with colon cancer.</p><p>He is survived by his wife Miriam and three daughters Clara, Ava, and Rahel. To mark his passing, the NumFOCUS Foundation has setup a memorial fund for the care and education of his three daughters at <a class="reference external" href="http://numfocus.org/johnhunter/">http://numfocus.org/johnhunter/</a>.</p></div><div class="section" id="john-hunter"><h4>John Hunter</h4><p>There are few projects in the Python world which have enjoyed the reach, longevity, and value that <a class="reference external" href="http://matplotlib.org/">matplotlib</a> has offered in the 10 years since its creation. John Hunter, at the time a post-doctoral neurobiologist at the University of Chicago, started the matplotlib library as a way to work around downtime created by limited licensing for expensive proprietary tools. His choice to use Python was a bold one at the time, given Python's relatively young age, especially within the sciences. However, his efforts paid off and he was able to create an open alternative to allow him to continue analyzing epileptic seizure data in children without the limitations he was experiencing with other products.</p><p>Over time, John left the academic world and entered Chicago's finance industry, taking employment at TradeLink Securities. While there, he took his science background and matplotlib project into the field of quantitative analysis. In the ten years since matplotlib's creation, John brought three daughters into the world and cared for his family all while maintaining the number one spot on the matplotlib committer list. He became further involved in the numeric and scientific communities, presenting at conferences and expanding his involvement to the recently formed NumFOCUS Foundation, at which he was a founding board member.</p><p>John's creation and contribution of matplotlib to not just the Python community, but to the science and mathematics communities, is truly an effort that will live on and continue to influence these communities and more for many years to come. Whether you found Python through matplotlib or matplotlib through Python, John Hunter's efforts have left a lasting mark on so many people in so many places.</p><hr class="docutils" /><p>In addition to the Distinguished Service Award, the Foundation will be contributing $3500 to a project which is currently in the works, the John Hunter Technical Fellowship.

The PSF donated EUR 3500 to <a class="reference external" href="https://ep2012.europython.eu/">EuroPython </a> which is being held in Florence, Italy this year from July 2-8. Next on the calendar is <a class="reference external" href="2012.pycon-au.org">PyCon Australia 2012</a>, which the PSF granted AUD $1500 . The Pythoneers down under will be in Hobart, Tasmania on August 18th through the 19th. The PSF gave NZD 1000 to <a class="reference external" href="http://nz.pycon.org/">Kiwi PyCon</a> which is being held September 1-2 in Dunedin, New Zealand. <a class="reference external" href="http://ar.pycon.org/2012">PyCon Argentina</a> received USD $3000 in funding this year. They will be holding their conference in Buenos Aires starting November 12th and running through the 17th. Finally <cite>PythonBrazil</cite> also received USD $3000 in funding and will be holding their conference November 21-24 in Rio de Janerio.</p><p>If you're in the area or in the mood for travel and you want to learn some Python or just meet some of the international Python people, this year is a good one. You can travel to scenic Italy for EuroPython, head down to Australia for their exotic animals and then take a boat over to New Zealand for Kiwi PyCon. When it starts getting cold outside, you can head down to South America and spend a couple weeks learning Python in Argentina and Brazil. Can you think of a better way to get out of the cold?</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/06351908417200979114' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/06351908417200979114' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Mike Driscoll</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2012/06/psf-sponsors-upcoming-international.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2012/06/psf-sponsors-upcoming-international.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-06-13T10:00:00-04:00'>6/13/2012 10:00:00 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1070420868'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8520&postID=4235951870616295978&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, May 31, 2012</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='6186868581464964567' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='6186868581464964567'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2012/05/welcome-new-psf-members.html'>Welcome New PSF Members!</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-6186868581464964567' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="document" id="welcome-new-psf-members"><p>After the spring elections, the Foundation is happy to welcome a new group of members.</p><p>All members of the PSF are nominated by an existing member for their work in the Python community.

It's time for a redesign, to improve the organization of the site and its appearance, and to simplify the task for the volunteers who maintain the content. The PSF would therefore like fund the design and implementation of a new look and architecture for python.org. The web development landscape has also changed a lot since 2006, and we look forward to seeing what this community can produce.<br /> <br /> The <a href="http://pythonorg-redesign.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html">Request for Proposal for the python.org redesign</a> has been published on readthedocs.org.

Through his 8 years as a Director, two of which he spent as Vice Chairman, and the last four spent as Chairman of the Board, Steve's hard work and countless hours of effort have helped shape this community and foundation into the great state we have in 2012.<br /> <br /> While Steve isn't leaving the community or even the foundation, where he'll remain as a Director, he's moving on from the Chairman position earlier than planned to take some well needed personal time. As he outlines in his last post, <a href="http://holdenweb.blogspot.com/2012/05/well-i-dont-really-know-where-to-begin.html">Swan Song</a>, there's likely to be some surgery in his future, and we wish him all the best.<br /> <br /> On behalf of the foundation and the community, we want to thank Steve for everything he's done for us personally and for everything he's done for the Python community. <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'> <span itemprop='name'>Brian Curtin</span> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2012/05/steve-holden-steps-down-as-chairman.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2012/05/steve-holden-steps-down-as-chairman.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2012-05-07T08:30:00-04:00'>5/07/2012 08:30:00 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-113535654'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8520&postID=8825643804744799732&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> </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, April 06, 2012</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='4191542038295468917' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='4191542038295468917'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2012/04/indianapolis-python-workshop-april-13.html'>Indianapolis Python Workshop - April 13-14</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-4191542038295468917' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="document" id="indianapolis-python-workshop"><p>If you're in the Indianapolis, Indiana area on April 13-14, join the locals from <a class="reference external" href="http://www.meetup.com/python-182/">IndyPy</a> as well as the <a class="reference external" href="http://openhatch.org/wiki/Boston_Python_Workshop">Boston Python Workshop</a> and <a class="reference external" href="http://openhatch.org/">OpenHatch</a> in a weekend workshop.

It also makes organizing and promoting the group easier, as well as providing a platform to garner sponsorships and thank sponsors publicly.<br /> <strong>Grant Size</strong>: $144 total, which is the cost of 12 months to organize a group on meetup.com.<br /> <strong>Grant Beneficiaries</strong>: The Boston Python user group has over 1500 members on meetup.com. We have had monthly meetings since before 2007 and have an average attendance of 60-100 Python programmers. meetup.com provides a centralized location where our members see what’s coming up and who has RSVPed for the meeting. Members can also leave comments about the group itself.<br /> This subscription will also benefit Python programmers who may not yet know about the group by providing highly visible insight into what we do and why they may want to join. meetup.com is a well-known site for people looking for like-minded individuals, providing us good visibility for new members. It also cross-promotes groups to each other, encouraging members of other tech groups to consider joining ours. We get several new members each month who find us on meetup.com.<br /> <strong>Preferred method of funds delivery</strong>: A deposit into the PayPal account for <a class="reference external" href="mailto:meetup@bostonpython.com">meetup@bostonpython.com</a>.</blockquote> <div class="line-block"> <div class="line"> <strong>Q</strong>: My user group uses a site other than meetup.com to advertise events. Can we still get reimbursed?</div> <div class="line"> <strong>A</strong>: The April 2009 proposal is specifically for meetup.com fees, but you are still encouraged to submit a general <a class="reference external" href="http://www.python.org/psf/grants/">grant proposal</a> for a particular expense to <a class="reference external" href="mailto:psf@python.org">psf@python.org</a>.</div> </div> <div class="line-block"> <div class="line"> <strong>Q</strong>: How else can the PSF help my user group financially?</div> <div class="line"> <strong>A</strong>: You can apply for a grant
