While I had heard the buzz about a Python conference in Petaluma, it wasn’t until PyLadies Vancouver offered me a free ticket that I decided to attend. A quick flight from Seattle brought me to San Francisco the night before North Bay Python started, allowing me time to partake in one of my favorite hobbies -  navigating public transit to new places. Sitting in the theater I felt lucky. Though I had attended a variety of Geographic Information Systems conferences, this was my first Python conference outside of PyData Seattle and local meetups. I could not wait for what was in store.</span></span></div> <br /> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> <div dir="ltr" lang="en"> It turns out there's people here at <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/nbpy?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#nbpy</a>!

Built in 1911 and normally hosting theater and music shows, the theater is not the usual host for a tech conference. Christopher Neugebauer, an organizer of North Bay Python, originally had the idea to hold a conference at the Mystic Theatre earlier this year as he was talking to friends at PyCon. By the end of PyCon 2017 it was decided, and planning had begun for the first annual North Bay Python conference. </span><br /> <br /> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> <div dir="ltr" lang="en"> Basically, conferences in theatres. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/nbpy?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#nbpy</a> <a href="https://t.co/ofD68HyFv4">pic.twitter.com/ofD68HyFv4</a></div> — Christopher Neugebauer 馃彸️‍馃寛馃嚘馃嚭 (@chrisjrn) <a href="https://twitter.com/chrisjrn/status/937463912827535360?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 3, 2017</a></blockquote> <span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span> <span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The historic venue wasn’t the only thing special about this conference. Before the talks began, Christopher got on stage and informed us of the </span><a href="https://2017.northbaypython.org/code-of-conduct" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">code of conduct,</a> <span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">photo sensitivity policies, all-gender bathrooms, quiet spaces, and nursing room. We were provided a number to call if at any time during the conference we felt unsafe. Next, Josh Simmons, another organizer, asked the audience, “Who here is attending a technical conference for the first time?” Roughly 40% of the 230 attendees raised their hand, shocking the organizers at the overwhelming percentage of newcomers. Thus the largest developer conference held in Sonoma County was also, perhaps, its most welcoming.</span><br /> <br /> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> <div dir="ltr" lang="en"> I did this <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/django?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#django</a> talk.

"We were lucky enough to get our first two choices!” said Christopher. For the remaining talks, they put together a call for proposals, offering support for those interested in speaking through workshops and feedback sessions. In the end, they ran a blind review process which anonymized proposals to compensate for biases. The organizers were very pleased with the result as Christopher explained, “we ended up with an astonishingly high-quality program that included new speakers and a community representation that we are really proud of."</span><br /> <br /> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> <div dir="ltr" lang="en"> Loving this <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/pyladies?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#pyladies</a> lunch at <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/nbpy?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#nbpy</a>! <a href="https://t.co/ISs2EQuds1">pic.twitter.com/ISs2EQuds1</a></div> — Christy Heaton (@christytoes) <a href="https://twitter.com/christytoes/status/937067515045228544?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 2, 2017</a></blockquote> <span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In terms of networking opportunities, North Bay Python provided a wiki for people to use to gather in Birds of a Feather groups.

The Python Software Foundation can help with a grant. But first, you need to understand our policies.<br /> <br /> The PSF has had a grants program for many years. Over the last 4 years, the program has become increasingly known in our community, which has always been a desired outcome. As knowledge of the grants program grows, however, the PSF receives more grant requests, ultimately meaning our PSF staff and volunteers have more grant requests to process. On occasion the PSF updates our grant policies as we learn more about best practices.<br /> <br /> Our goal with this post is to inform the public of what our current policies are. The policies may change over time so remember to review <a href="https://www.python.org/psf/grants/" target="_blank">the PSF's grant policies</a> when submitting a request to ensure you have the most up-to-date information. We also have <a href="https://www.python.org/psf/grants/faq/" target="_blank">a Frequently Asked Questions page about grants</a>.<br /> <div> <br /></div> <div> <h2> What are the current grant policies & preferences?</h2> <br /> <ul> <li>We prefer to receive your request at least 6 weeks out from the event or project start date. We receive a high volume of requests and our volunteers that review the requests are all around the world contributing remotely. A six week lead time will allow us sufficient time to thoroughly review your request and provide follow up as necessary. Effective immediately, we will not accept grants that are submitted within 10 working days of the event or project start date.</li> <li>Our current focus includes: Python projects (including porting projects), workshops, conferences (especially for financial aid), and Python diversity/inclusivity efforts. Grants for non-Python specific events will only be considered where there's a clear Python component to the event. In the cases of non-Python specific events a grant will only be for the Python component of the event. The PSF will consider supporting a hackathon if the event has hands-on Python education for a minimum of 6 hours. We will not fund prizes for hackathons.</li> <li>We have guidelines on how much funding we award. There is no set maximum, but grants are awarded with consideration for the annual PSF grant budget and the other grant requests that have been submitted and awarded. The Foundation reserves the right to make a grant smaller than the total you request. If this would not be acceptable you should state that in the application.</li> <ul> <li>The maximum conference grant size is typically USD 10 per attendee, with a preference towards helping new events to establish themselves in their local community. Larger conferences (300+ attendees) are expected to have access to additional local funding options and hence may be granted a lower amount per attendee. Conferences that are running separate educational programs may also apply for a separate educational grant.</li> <li>The maximum educational program grant size is typically USD 25 per student, provided the students each receive at least 6 hours of Python instruction as part of the educational program. We give preference to students who would otherwise not be able to attend such classes. If the class has an educational hardware component such as a Raspberry Pi that the students get to keep, you may request up to USD 50 per student. Please note that subsequent funding requests for workshops in the same region may be funded at a lower rate to encourage sustainable, long-term relationships with local sponsors. When submitting your workshop grant request, it helps the grants work group to see a brief budget for your event.</li> <li>The PSF will consider grants up to USD 300 for Python-related sprints. Please provide information about focus and goal of the sprint in your application, as well as the number of expected participants.</li> <li>The PSF allocates money each year for PUG website hosting costs and subscriptions to event advertising sites like <a href="http://meetup.com/">meetup.com</a>. </li> </ul> <li>We require all events to have a code of conduct. The code of conduct should be a set of guidelines for your event that set the social norms and practices for the participants, organizers, and sponsors.</li> <li>With regards to payments, we distribute funds via check, wire transfer, and PayPal. If you will be requesting a wire transfer, adjust your request to account for wire transfer fees. PayPal payments to organizations may incur service fees that will need to be paid by the grant recipient. If your grant request is approved, specific information will be requested in the email notification. </li> <ul> <li>We prefer to make payments at an organization-to-organization level when possible due to US IRS accounting rules. </li> <li>After you receive a notification with the amount of funding the PSF approved for your grant request and you submit an invoice, payment will be processed within 7 business days and the Controller will notify you when the payment has been sent. We sometimes run into issues when sending funding internationally so that is why we ask to receive grant requests 6 weeks out.</li> </ul> <li>Reporting is an essential part of our grants program. The PSF would like to see how the grant was used, so we ask to receive a report on the event, project or program that was funded. The PSF has a policy that requires all events to submit reports. These reports are useful for us to gauge the impact we are having and how the event went. For subsequent events, we require past reports in order to consider additional requests. The report should include an overall overview (including location, venue, participation demographics if applicable), sponsors, reflections (including things that went well and things that could be improved, any feedback you received from participants. If your event/project has a blog, social media post, pictures that relate to the grant we'd love to see them, too.</li> </ul> </div> <div> We welcome grant requests <a href="https://python.org/grantform" target="_blank">via our CiviGrant form</a>. We want to help new communities develop a stronger Python presence in the coming year!</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/18334325508115717169' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/18334325508115717169' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Ewa Jodlowska</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-psfs-grant-program-policies-and.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-psfs-grant-program-policies-and.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2017-12-01T12:57:00-05:00'>12/01/2017 12:57:00 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-771879458'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8520&postID=2041244918842197159&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>Monday, November 27, 2017</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='3341978445812993693' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='3341978445812993693'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2017/11/the-psf-awarded-moss-grant-pypi.html'>The PSF awarded $170,000 grant from Mozilla Open Source Program to improve sustainability of PyPI</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-3341978445812993693' itemprop='description articleBody'> When are we finally going to see <a href="https://github.com/pypa/warehouse">Warehouse</a> deployed? What's the holdup? Has this project stalled?<br /> <br /> For the last year, we at the Python Packaging Authority have heard these questions continuously from the Python community.<br /> <br /> Today we are excited to announce that we have applied for, and been awarded, a grant to help improve the sustainability of the <a href="http://pypi.python.org/">Python Package Index</a> in the amount of $170,000.  This has been awarded by <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/">Mozilla</a>, through the <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/moss/foundational-technology/">Foundational Technology</a> track of their <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/moss/">Open Source Support Program</a>.  We would like to thank Mozilla for their support.<br /> <br /> This post will explain both the context for this request, and the work that will be funded.<br /> Specifically, this grant funds several contributors' efforts to finish the development and deployment of Warehouse (<a href="https://pypi.org/">pypi.org</a>), the <a href="http://pyfound.blogspot.com/2016/01/welcome-to-warehouse.html">replacement</a> for our legacy codebase that runs <a href="http://pypi.python.org/">pypi.python.org</a> -- which will allow more people to contribute.<br /> <br /> <h2 id="background"> Background</h2> <div> <br /></div> The Python Packaging Index (PyPI) is the principal repository of software packages for the Python programming language. Currently, over 100 million Python packages are downloaded from PyPI every week. The Python community (and indeed the wider technical community) depends on PyPI for the ongoing functioning of the entire Python ecosystem.<br /> <br /> There are no paid staff at the PSF who work on PyPI, and there are only a handful of people who contribute regularly.  <strong>This leads to a situation where we have to depend on volunteers to be on-call for outages and respond to critical security vulnerabilities in core Python Infrastructure.</strong> For deeper context, read <a href="https://caremad.io/posts/2016/05/powering-pypi/">PyPI maintainer Donald Stufft's May 2016 post "Powering the Python Package Index"</a>, (but note that <a href="https://caremad.io/posts/2017/01/a-new-home/">since his job change in the last year</a> his paid time to work on PyPI has decreased significantly).<br /> <br /> This isn't a tenable situation for the long term, and we hope that this grant will help us start to change this.<br /> <br /> <h2 id="developersustainability"> Developer Sustainability</h2> <br /> Unfortunately, the codebase that runs PyPI is old, almost entirely lacking in automated test coverage and other common best practices. (PyPI contributor Ernest W. Durbin III goes into this further in his PyGotham 2017 talk <a href="http://pyvideo.org/pygotham-2017/running-vintage-software-pypis-aging-codebase.html">"Running Vintage Software: PyPI's Aging Codebase."</a>) The new Warehouse code base is built with Pyramid, and is much easier to maintain. This technical debt has a number of undesirable outcomes, but the one I'd like to focus on is <strong>repelling new contributors</strong>.<br /> <br /> Eric Holscher, like many would-be contributors to the legacy PyPI codebase, once tried to contribute a small feature to PyPI years ago, thinking it would be quite simple. However, as he opened the code base and started looking around, he discovered that the code wasn't written in a modern framework, didn't follow standard conventions or best practices, and he could barely even understand where to start adding something new. <br /> <br /> Migrating PyPI to a new codebase will stop this from happening. We hope to gain a number of new contributors who are willing and able to help maintain the code base, and decrease the chance of burnout for the staff.<br /> <br /> <h2 id="operationssustainability"> Operations Sustainability</h2> <br /> Operations are the other large sustainability issue that we're hoping to tackle with this grant. There are only two people currently who wear a pager and are on-call for PyPI. They are not currently supported by modern automation tools or served by a continuing project manager. Once all package index activity is going through pypi.org (Warehouse) and we deprecate the old pypi.python.org codebase and site, with a stabilized infrastructure resource load, we can assess our new level of staffing and hosting needs. Based on that assessment, we'll be able to fundraise for staffing and ask our sponsors for financial and in-kind donations to keep PyPI robust. <br /> <br /> <h2 id="nextsteps"> Next Steps</h2> <br /> With the help of many people (especially the Packaging Working Group, our MOSS liaison Gervase Markham, our Mozilla champion Dan Callahan, and Ewa Jodlowska and Mark Mangoba at the PSF), we've been figuring out the timeline for this work.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/milestone/1">The first milestone for Warehouse</a> is redirecting portions of the production pypi.python.org to Warehouse including traffic for the simple index and package downloads. At that milestone Warehouse will be the main entryway to Python packages for all but a small fraction of the interactions PyPI sees.<br /> <br /> The bulk of the work will be bringing Warehouse to feature parity with the administrative capabilities users need from the Package Index.  We'll keep you posted as we figure out when you can expect that to be true.<br /> <br /> Please feel free to ask questions about the Warehouse project <a href="https://webchat.freenode.net/?channel=#pypa-dev">in the #pypa-dev channel on Freenode</a>, or <a href="https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/">in the GitHub issues for Warehouse</a>! If you have questions for the PSF about the grant, you can ask <a href="https://www.python.org/psf/about/#how-do-i-reach-the-psf">via email</a>.<br /> <br /> Thanks to Donald Stufft, Ewa Jodlowska, Nathaniel J.

One day, his dad brought home a computer to make video games. Eric and his dad worked together copying code from magazines, thus beginning a lifelong interest in programming.<br /> <br /> After getting his bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Ohio State, Eric worked as a software engineer, all while nurturing Python hobbies built on his childhood interests. He now works for the company he founded called Intellovations whose primary product is <a href="https://www.forecastwatch.com/">ForecastWatch</a>, a tool that helps weather forecasters be more accurate. Eric has also been a consistent leader in his local Ohio Python community, all while spreading the Python love by encouraging others to get involved and create groups of their own.<br /> <br /> The Python Software Foundation has awarded Eric with the Q3 2017 Community Service Award.<br /> <div style="text-align: left;"> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <b>RESOLVED, that the Python Software Foundation Q3 2017 Community Service Award be given to Eric Floehr for his work chairing the PyOhio Conference. He is the founder and co-organizer of the Central Ohio Python User Group. COhPy has served as a resource for Python programmers in Columbus, OH. Eric's efforts to "spread Python love" via discussions with leaders of PyNash and IndyPy lead directly to the creation of the annual PyTennessee conference and the Pythology quarterly mini-conferences.</b></blockquote> </div> <br /> <b>Contributions to the Python Community</b><br /> <br /> <i>PyOhio</i><br /> <br /> While large events like PyCon US are incredibly important for the Python community and bring diverse groups together, it could be argued that smaller groups with more frequent events provide even more benefit. Here attendees are more likely to meet a potential employer/employee, find someone to talk through a problem at work or fun project idea, and socialize with like-minded locals. Eric works from home, which is one of the reasons he enjoys engaging socially with his local Python community. He started by attending <a href="https://pyohio.org/">PyOhio</a>, a free annual regional Python conference, and quickly wanted to help out. “The first year I helped with pizza, cleanup, and video”, he recalls. By the second year, he was a full-on organizer, “you don’t really need to have any particular skills to organize, just jump in there and do it.”<br /> <i><br /> </i> <i>COhPy</i><br /> <br /> In 2010, when he realized there was no Python group in Columbus, he started <a href="http://www.cohpy.org/">The Central Ohio Python User’s Group </a>(COhPy). COhPy hosts meetings once a month where people can listen to talks and chat with local Pythonistas. It also holds networking events and offers other services for the community such as a Slack channel. “Eric's efforts as an organizer of PyOhio and COhPy have given hundreds of Python developers the opportunity to teach and share with thousands of other Python developers”, says Brian Costlow, fellow PyOhio and COhPy organizer, “It gives people the opportunity to grow into speakers and teachers in a small, safe venue, and for many, myself included, to make new and lifelong friends.“ Jason Green, a PyOhio organizer, credits Eric’s gregarious and inclusive nature with his own integration into the Python community. Not only did he welcome Jason to the group, he encouraged him to get involved. “As a leadership mentor, for the last several months,” Jason says, “he has made a point of having me introduce the speakers and welcome new guests.”<br /> <br /> <b>Spreading the Python Love</b><br /> <br /> Eric encourages others to get outside of their comfort zone, try new things, and start groups in their own areas. For example, at the PyOhio 2013 conference, Eric put out a call for more regional Python conferences. This struck Jason Myers, a PyOhio attendee, as something that would benefit his Python community in Tennessee. Jason approached Eric with the idea of starting a <a href="https://www.pytennessee.org/">PyTennessee</a> conference, and Eric immediately offered to help. “Over the course of our first conference planning, call for proposals, and the event itself, Eric was always there with guidance.” Eric’s support didn’t stop there, Jason goes on, “for all four years that I ran PyTennessee, Eric was our best supporter, cheerleader, and advisor.” Jason credits Eric for PyTennessee’s success explaining, “I know without a shadow of a doubt that there would be no PyTennessee without him, and I am eternally grateful for his wisdom, assistance and his friendship.”<br /> <br /> <b>Python for Fun</b><br /> <br /> Eric’s love for Python does not end with work and community but is a large part of his hobbies as well. Perhaps his most interesting hobby combines his love of Python and the weather. He set up an old digital camera out his window at home with a Raspberry Pi to take photos every 10 seconds for 3 years. Not only was he able to capture beautiful and dramatic images of weather events, he collected 6 terabytes worth of pictures and metadata that he used Python to analyze in interesting ways. When his analysis was complete in 2015, he gave a <a href="http://pyvideo.org/pyohio-2015/art-and-science-with-six-million-timelapse-images.html">fantastic talk</a> on this project at PyOhio.<br /> <br /> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="226" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/zJgPvVhOIbfOvxKwC5hiaGGHK-GLxtGiRWp_7tw_YUhNTYfZbGLAG4o4wWYwSDP-Nz0AvF0_eJsDqreBeGEzjqG5PnJIMnZKKjFFfAkZQ535HiskBcFgh_DuPCpd_Eq7m_Hy0AIl" style="border: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; transform: rotate(0rad);" width="400" /></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Time-lapsed images from Eric’s digital camera and raspberry pi</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> When asked why Python is his language of choice, Eric beams, “Python is a great enabler. It allows people to do more in less time and to build amazing things. From creative works to scientific research, from scratching personal itches, to helping solve critical problems, Python is an incredible tool for growth and exploration. But more than the tool itself,” Eric goes on to say, “it's the community around the tool that I have really fallen in love with. Its focus on inclusivity, tolerance, and respect has been a model for other communities, and it's not only a community I love but one that I'm proud to be a part of.”<br /> <br /> What’s next for this Python hobbyist? “Have you seen Westworld?”, he asks. “Like the piano playing by itself in the opening sequence, I’d like to make a mechanical xylophone with 30 keys and 30 hammers that plays itself like a music box.”<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="354" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/vQMjHIWsmrxLZe0UGq-x5H5FYxCOzy0IVx1fIT1TPV2dQGTkXI2MOEj-8ghZPWridTd8RbxsqRvKwJY9XtGFHwu6GgA9SVvkddIiCodIpnHMvFQwuTZXdE6vvW_GbqRH3sWMXRvb" style="border: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; transform: rotate(0rad);" width="241" /></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Community Service Award Winner Q3 2017 Eric Floehr</td></tr> </tbody></table> <div> <br /></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'> <span itemprop='name'>Christy Heaton</span> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2017/11/eric-floehr-community-service-award-3rd.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2017/11/eric-floehr-community-service-award-3rd.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2017-11-02T10:00:00-04:00'>11/02/2017 10:00:00 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-752206176'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8520&postID=4144396818884027009&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/community%20service%20awards' rel='tag'>community service awards</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>Wednesday, October 25, 2017</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='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzLzOmPLzgYZX-7_IMG7Pwk6gVLprUG1QK0D9W-_uiaJU9Kq8h4DxV2mEYF12Y4X_UN7Ax7_yb-REiZEUo1-fl3WI07gYXWCxngotKmi6OY4xJuXQAE37ELsYudHnwioi_suY/s320/image000000.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='8520' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='2369447155695880954' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='2369447155695880954'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2017/10/psfs-october-board-meeting.html'>PSF's October Board Meeting</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-2369447155695880954' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Last week Monday, October 16th, the Python Software Foundation held its first in-person director meeting outside of PyCon.

From a community perspective, a broader fiscal sponsorship program would allow greater opportunities for corporate funding of key Python projects. Van Lindberg, PSF's General Counsel, gave directors an explanation of what it meant and we discussed the risks and benefits involved in such a program. While the PSF currently has a limited fiscal sponsorship program, we are considering expanding the range of our sponsorships to include Python dev projects such as PyPy. Van is creating a new template contract to use in such agreements, with additional research required to identify the legal implications of fiscally sponsoring organizations that are located outside of the United States. Another necessary change to accommodate the broader fiscal sponsorship requires the PSF's financial staff, Kurt B. Kaiser and Phyllis Dobbs, to document a workflow for how payments/reimbursements will be made in these arrangements.</span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Official Board Meeting</b></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Our second session of the day was an official board meeting where we began by approving September's meeting minutes. A subsequent discussion began on how we can use the python.org/jobs page to enhance our fundraising efforts. PSF employee, Betsy Waliszewski, will contact the python.org/jobs volunteer group to solicit feedback on how we can tie in their work with fundraising more directly. Another item decided at the board meeting includes the PSF IT Manager, Mark Mangoba, beginning to produce periodic reports for the board on PSF infrastructure traffic. Lastly, Director Eric Holscher and I gave a status update on the Python Packaging Work Group's recent receipt of Mozilla's MOSS Grant. A blog will be written on this topic once more details are confirmed.</span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>PyCon's "Everyone contributes"</b></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The third session of the day continued with Ernest W. Durbin III, PyCon Conference Chair, joining us via phone to discuss various PyCon items. A significant part of the conversation  tackled the "Everyone pays" policy that PyCon has historically maintained. Responsibilities have increased over time so that phrase no longer applies. For example, the PSF employs two full-time employees to execute PyCon in addition to all of the volunteer work that happens. Additionally, volunteer appreciation has evolved. Due to changes like this, we have agreed to change the phrase to "Everyone contributes." Since everyone that attends contributes their time and/or money, we found that to be a more suitable phrase to use.</span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>PyCon's Speaker Financial Support</b></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Recently we heard from our community that PyCon's speaker financial support could be improved. Ernest recently made a change in our process that will help financial support easier on behalf of both the PSF and PyCon speakers. The change Ernest made lives on the speaker profile page <a href="http://us.pycon.org/">us.pycon.org</a>. When potential speakers are completing their speaker profiles, they can check the "I require a speaker grant if my proposal is accepted" option, and the speaker will receive financial support needed if their talk is accepted. Another suggestion came from PSF Director Trey Hunner. Trey pointed out various conferences around the world the PSF can learn from. Furthermore, we discussed that we need to be more transparent about the availability of speaker grants.</span></span></div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">An option considered was the possibility of providing all speakers free registration to PyCon. Ultimately we decided on PyCon providing speaker financial assistance to anyone that requests it. The reasoning behind that decision is that PyCon profits help fund the Python Software Foundation's global community giving. Given the significant impact that PyCon profits have, we encourage those that can to pay for their conference registrations. In 2016, the PSF gave out $292,471 in grants worldwide thanks to the revenue generated through PyCon. So far this year (up to Q3), we have given $221,763 and we anticipate to give more than $300,000 in grants next year. </span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The below graphs show that PSF international support is increasing. For example in 2017 we increased support in Africa by 13.86% and the year is not over yet. Everyone who contributes to PyCon financially helps us make a global difference.</span></span></div> <div> <br /></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEOeOpXWlQAEecpkKrRiI9agS0479sx8cELaDINPAXsL0jz8kEF0iHFZXKy_e0ZSE4EW9ayDjyGw2cY8FOzBaSkATAAWoWx0RFrYdmITylbuus_aaSQED8hy7uEAZq16pLJFk/s1600/2016_2017.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="606" data-original-width="1600" height="151" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEOeOpXWlQAEecpkKrRiI9agS0479sx8cELaDINPAXsL0jz8kEF0iHFZXKy_e0ZSE4EW9ayDjyGw2cY8FOzBaSkATAAWoWx0RFrYdmITylbuus_aaSQED8hy7uEAZq16pLJFk/s400/2016_2017.png" width="400" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: start;"> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i>PSF Grant spending by continent. <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/lakaqwemmc03x24/2016_2017.png?dl=0" target="_blank">A clearer view is available here.</a> </i></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> </td></tr> </tbody></table> <div> <br /></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Trademark for PyPI</b></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The next agenda item the board discussed pertained to filing a PyPI trademark. One of the core missions of the PSF is the protection of the Python community – including the safeguarding of Python’s intellectual property. An increasingly important part of Python’s intellectual property are the trademarks and logos we use to identify Python and its associated services to the world. Given the increasing importance of PyPI, the board decided that it would be wise to officially register some PyPI-related trademarks in various places around the world. We discussed the various ways we can file trademark requests and we also reviewed financial quotes from three law firms. We decided to file the logo trademark and also the word mark "PyPI". Van Lindberg will continue working on that process.</span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Grant Accountability</b></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Since the PSF has continued to fund more grants each year, we discussed the idea of grant accountability. One of our directors, Paul Hildebrandt, is working on an event report template to help us better understand and track the benefit that our grant giving is having on communities that we sponsor. We will report on this issue further as it develops.</span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Alternative Ways of Giving Money</b></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">During this agenda item we discussed the benefits that matching grants may have for the PSF. Eric Holscher brought up the idea that matching grant agreements can help improve PSF's marketing, along with helping the grantee generate more total revenue. Additionally, we discussed the possibility of being proactive with soliciting specific grant types. For example, this would be useful if we wanted to zone in on specific support for Python development work and/or to support Python educators. Jacqueline Kazil, PSF Director, suggested that we make some improvements to our <a href="https://www.python.org/psf/grants/" target="_blank">grant policy page</a> by including more reference points for improved guidance. Work on this will continue remotely. We also decided to work on slides we can provide to PSF-funded events that will inform the public about what the PSF does.</span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Board Role in Fundraising</b></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">As part of her efforts to help the foundation mature, PSF Chair Naomi Ceder started a discussion on how board members can more directly help the PSF’s overall financial standing through supporting PSF fundraising efforts. No concrete plans were made, but the board will continue exploring its role under Naomi’s leadership. </span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Multi-lingual Blog/Documentation/Website</b></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The PSF's Communication Chair, Lorena Mesa, gathered input from the group on how we can improve our community support by improving our translations efforts. The next step will be to list all of the community assets that could be translated, prioritize them, and get a work group started to help with the efforts. As a part of this effort Lorena is seeking community input on assets of particular importance and community priorities in translation efforts. </span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Strategic Planning</b></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The last two hours of the day were dedicated to high-level strategizing, particularly in discussing the future of the PSF.  During this conversation, the PSF decided that, over time, the PSF needs to gradually rebuild and professionalize to permit better efficiency in supporting the global Python community.. Unfortunately we realized that two hours was not enough time to cover everything we would like to discuss. </span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Some items we did get to discuss included determining what we wanted our financial reserve to be. Thomas Wouters, the PSF's Vice Chairperson, guided the discussion through various questions and comments pertaining to the types of risks we are facing and the types of things we can do with the financial reserve. We discussed the need to invest our reserve as well. </span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Another item briefly addressed included ways the PSF can grow by connecting PyPI to our fundraising efforts. We discussed how we can collaborate with related groups to be more intentional with our grant giving. </span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Aside from these future goals, we decided to arrange for nonprofit board training at PyCon 2018. This will help us with expectations and will strengthen the strategic planning process.</span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Executive Committee</b></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The goal of the October 16th discussions was to begin the process of strategic planning. Even though we are still at the beginning of the process, we did create an Executive Committee to follow this through. Naomi Ceder, Van Lindberg, Thomas Wouters, and I met at the end of the day and decided our next step is to create an Executive Summary of the PSF. We need to have a better grasp of all PSF details before we continue. Our goal is to have it completed by PyCon 2018 so the board members can meet once again and continue the process of strategic planning.</span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">All in all, it was a very productive meeting and we will aim to hold these meetings annually. At future in-person meetings, we will try to have fewer items on the agenda to enable more conversation around each topic. It is surprising how fast an hour goes by when 10 people are contributing to the discussion. Since we don't meet in person often, we all have a lot to say!</span></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/18334325508115717169' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/18334325508115717169' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Ewa Jodlowska</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2017/10/psfs-october-board-meeting.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2017/10/psfs-october-board-meeting.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2017-10-25T10:00:00-04:00'>10/25/2017 10:00:00 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-771879458'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8520&postID=2369447155695880954&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>Tuesday, October 17, 2017</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='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip8w5oB9bUcOiZ9friEi2KMiIL6z4_TQAm6mYFwzbawmxTGiaXhuHryhMk5rf6DB9DG61QY4BcFR2ONOqquTquXAgXB6Cad28MdxVZcKKe67ZnuJ8-MK6f0RI1wjJSnIskRw/s320/Pycon+Logo_FINAL_PYCON+Horizontal+Logo+with+Buildings.png' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='8520' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='4941010918225260219' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='4941010918225260219'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2017/10/why-become-pycon-sponsor.html'>Why Become A PyCon Sponsor?</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-4941010918225260219' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip8w5oB9bUcOiZ9friEi2KMiIL6z4_TQAm6mYFwzbawmxTGiaXhuHryhMk5rf6DB9DG61QY4BcFR2ONOqquTquXAgXB6Cad28MdxVZcKKe67ZnuJ8-MK6f0RI1wjJSnIskRw/s1600/Pycon+Logo_FINAL_PYCON+Horizontal+Logo+with+Buildings.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="654" data-original-width="1343" height="155" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip8w5oB9bUcOiZ9friEi2KMiIL6z4_TQAm6mYFwzbawmxTGiaXhuHryhMk5rf6DB9DG61QY4BcFR2ONOqquTquXAgXB6Cad28MdxVZcKKe67ZnuJ8-MK6f0RI1wjJSnIskRw/s320/Pycon+Logo_FINAL_PYCON+Horizontal+Logo+with+Buildings.png" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> Sponsors help keep PyCon affordable and accessible to the widest possible audience. Sponsors are what make this conference possible. From low ticket prices to financial aid, to video recording, the organizations who step forward to support PyCon, in turn, support the entire Python community.

As a scientist, Thomas’ interest in programming stemmed from childhood where he learned QBasic with support from his father. During his Ph.D. program, Thomas became a regular contributor to Jupyter/IPython, working single-handedly to port it from Python 2 to Python 3. This caught the attention of Fernando P茅rez, creator of IPython and co-founder of Project Jupyter, who just happened to be looking for a post-doc. “Given his amazing contributions even while he was still a student,” says Fernando, “I was looking for an opportunity to engage him more with the project.” Thomas accepted the offer to work with Fernando at UC Berkeley developing IPython and open source tools for science. Looking back Thomas recalls, “it was a great opportunity for me.” Thomas stayed at Berkeley for 2 years before returning to England for a position at the University of Southampton.

Nick Coghlan, a CPython core developer who has worked with Thomas in his efforts to help move the Python packaging ecosystem forward, characterizes Thomas contributions to Flit as “rather than just writing it as a standalone tool, Thomas worked hard to ensure that the underlying interoperability standards also evolved to make it easier to write tools like Flit, and that such tools integrate nicely with frontend installation tools like pip.”</span></div> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Distributing applications to end users is still a weak point for Python, whereas distributing libraries and developer tools have become better equipped to handle this challenge in recent years.

Started with a grant in 2011, PyLadies has continued to bring women into the Python community through a variety of methods, including hosting events in local PyLadies chapters as well as offering a grant opportunity to attend PyCon. One woman in particular has contributed to PyLadies' success, for which the PSF recognized her as a Community Service Award recipient for the 2nd Quarter of 2017:</span><br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <i style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">RESOLVED, that the Python Software Foundation Q2 2017 Community Service Award to </i><i style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lynn Root for her work as the founder of the San Francisco Chapter of PyLadies, a member </i><i style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">of the Django Software Foundation, and as a tireless volunteer at PyCon.</i></blockquote> </div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PyLadies in the early days, the Start of the San Francisco Chapter</span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you can name one person associated with PyLadies, it is Lynn Root. Lynn’s relentless support, organizing, and evangelizing on behalf of PyLadies is known by many. “Lynn’s enthusiasm and passion for bringing more women into tech are well complemented by her organizational skills, which were especially needed at pivotal moment in early PyLadies history. Lynn helped grow PyLadies into, what is now, a global organization that’s had a huge impact on the Python community,” PyLady Esther Nam, one of the founders of the PyLadies Los Angeles chapter, explains. </span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmsK_6YWNEXXixpXjJIHzeGqmOjyh9PJW7NCbo0kw1YYDVTVWi-st-4F11jEk-C-91AfS7UYaSU1b3zUFXE5III2ATCEA03zJX5JqwBS3gk2o5uzhQeFJgX5Rwy6M3VoeSnA/s1600/pyladies-sanfran.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmsK_6YWNEXXixpXjJIHzeGqmOjyh9PJW7NCbo0kw1YYDVTVWi-st-4F11jEk-C-91AfS7UYaSU1b3zUFXE5III2ATCEA03zJX5JqwBS3gk2o5uzhQeFJgX5Rwy6M3VoeSnA/s200/pyladies-sanfran.jpeg" width="200" /></a></div> <br /> <div style="height: 0px;"> <b style="clear: right; float: right; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></b><b style="clear: right; float: right; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></b><b style="clear: right; float: right; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></b><b style="clear: right; float: right; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></b></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In late 2011, Lynn began learning to program, as some of graduate programs she was considering required her to have some programming expertise. “I reached out to San Francisco’s Women Who Code to organize a Python study group,” Lynn recalls, trying to find like-minded women to join. She had used Python in a weekend hackathon and found it to be a beginner friendly language. The following year, in 2012, PyCon was held in Santa Clara.  “Lynn reached out and organized a carpool of Bay Area Pythonistas to attend the conference”, Esther remembers. PyLadies from the first chapter in Los Angeles attended, where Lynn met with them to learn more about PyLadies.  The next month, she founded the San Francisco chapter. Lynn continued to act as a principal organizer for PyLadies San Francisco for the next four years.</span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Growing PyLadies in the Global Community</span></div> <span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUWbV03DVgeX2jWTjXdck9dd8M1dpdHJhvLnJsV31QHP1BkJJwMLUCqbBzcnk2JsdCYkEutjfvZ4Xf-V3PVMwFVYg0s86yOTIsM5rBUoEVK6QK9EwTXT5Y8hAs78f9WZFEMw/s1600/pipinstallpyladies.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="1050" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUWbV03DVgeX2jWTjXdck9dd8M1dpdHJhvLnJsV31QHP1BkJJwMLUCqbBzcnk2JsdCYkEutjfvZ4Xf-V3PVMwFVYg0s86yOTIsM5rBUoEVK6QK9EwTXT5Y8hAs78f9WZFEMw/s200/pipinstallpyladies.png" width="200" /></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overlapping with her time as PyLadies San Francisco lead organizer, Lynn championed other significant projects including the creation of `<a href="http://www.pyladies.com/blog/pip-install-pyladies/">pip install pyladies</a>`, the PyLadies open source kit for new organizers. The development of open source tools for PyLadies has been instrumental in getting the word out about PyLadies.
