[PSF-Community] Re: End Of life: Christoph Gohlke, Unofficcial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages

[Steve Holden]

Would it also be appropriate to nominate Cristoph for a Fellowship and/or
community service award?

Re: [PSF-Community] Invitation to PSF Trademarks Working Group

[Steve Holden]

As someone who's worked on this committee, I would say that the questions
that come along are often interesting, and the work can give you valuable
insight into a less-technical part of Python's governance. It relies on the
common sense of its members to consistently apply policy in a way that
benefits Python and its communities.

Thanks to everyone who's volunteering.

Kind regards,
Steve

Re: [PSF-Community] Python Calendar Team - Volunteers needed

[Steve Holden]

And to save some of you a click, the updated link:
https://pythondotorg.readthedocs.io/

While I'm here, the first page I linked mentions the webmaster list. That
is another area where volunteers (who can start by just joining the list
and reading some of the archives) would be more than welcome. As far as I
can tell there's just a couple of crusty old white guys (of which I am one)
holding the fort and happy to pass on the reigns, such as they are.

I believe I am currently the only active list administrator, so just mail
me at webmas...@python.org if you are interested in joining that list. It's
not high-volume, but it's a part of the Python community's public face, and
so needs better representation from our rich community. Once you've
assessed the traffic and a bit of list history you can start pitching in
whenever you feel comnfortable.

Kind regards,
Steve

Re: [PSF-Community] Python Calendar Team - Volunteers needed

[Steve Holden]

The Python community needs your help. Learning how to edit events is
relatively easy, though alas I have no link. I am pretty sure there is an
immediate need for volunteers, so anyone who actually wants to give to the
community as well as consume it should feel free to raise a hand!

If you would like to try the site's development system, there is a moderate
degree of documentation about how the site works and is maintained. Any
community member with access to the necessary computing resources can build
the site, though I confess it is so long since I dabbled in the code myself
I have little current knowledge.

I CAN say fairly confidently that working on the site and improving the
documentation would be a good project to get involved with to provide
evidence of a certain competence and learn some software engineering
skills. Also, because the code is open source it's suitable for use in
educational and community projects. People who learn it have a real chance
of changing the face of python.org.

The code for the site is a great resource, and running it locally requires
competence that teams and individuals can learn.

Kind regards,
Steve

Re: [PSF-Community] EuroPython 2019: Mobile Conference App available

[Steve Holden]

The clue is in the list's title: it's for people with some kind of interest
and/or stake in the PSF,

Alas the community doesn't seem to feel the need for a bidirectional
channel, and clearly very few information originators consider it useful.

If you are reading this message: what did you expect to see on this list?
What might you do to encourage people to post the sort of content you'd
like to see?

Kind regards.
Steve Holden

PS: EuroPython is a brilliant community conference, in historical terms
about six months older than PyCon and just as community-spirited.

Re: [PSF-Community] EuroPython 2019: Mobile Conference App available

[Steve Holden]

If the community were more active the EuroPython announcements would be
lost in the noise.

The fact that they are so prominent is really a measure of the channel’s
uselessness. It appears to be little more than window-dresssing: this is
clearly not seen as a channel through which to address “the PSF community”
(whatever that is).

Re: [PSF-Community] PSF Newsletter

[Steve Holden]

I'm pretty sure most of us would prefer simply publishing a link, and
clearly there's nothing to stop people who want copy delivered to their
mailbox by signing up.

I don't know enough about the PSF communications strategy to know whether
the emails will include full copy. In any case, I'm really glad it is
developing a broad channel for providing information about the language and
its users, and wish the newsletter well. I'm sure the feedback from this
list will be helpful.

As we all know, the PSF is a developing organisation. I can certainly
hardly recognise the somewhat stumbling bunch of geeks that I joined in
2003. More strength to its arm.

Re: [PSF-Community] ACTION NEEDED: New PSF Stickers - last chance to submit your design!

Woah. Voting? Who? Why? I thought we were just noodling to give a designer
some ideas, I didn't realise it was a competition.

Personally I have no graphics training, but I work with a professional
design team, and I know how much better their ideas can be than mine.

Whatever the result of this vote, let's be clear in our minds that our
end-product should merely be a starting point for the designer.

[Steve Holden]

That could be a nice way to integrate the motif throughout the extended
design.

Of course, what we really need is some design skills applied to the
problem. I'm just regarding this as brainstorming before the graphics whizz
kids get involved.

I was just throwing ideas out. I presume the actual design work will be
done by a professional designer who knows what they are doing!

Particularly at this time of year, with PyCon in progress, readers might
wish to remember that without substantial help from the Perl community (who
had been organising the YAPC conferences for some time) PyCon might never
had got off the ground. Nat Torkington gave freely of his time to share his
experiences and offer helpful suggestions.
