Words that weren't backed up by behaviour would be false advertising, and hence far more problematic than silence or an explicit statement that an environment is deliberately adversarial. However, it also isn't reasonable for open source projects to expect potential contributors to invest weeks or months in assessing their likely treatment if they speak up on a mailing list or submit a new patch - it turns out that having the kind of spare time needed to speculatively invest in following a community for long enough to make that kind of judgement for ourselves is a rare luxury. That's where written behavioural commitments can help - as long as they accurately reflect the way that community members actually strive to conduct themselves, than it helps newcomers better assess "Am I likely to feel comfortable here?".

In case folks are taking requests, I'd love to hear about: * status report on core workflow improvements * how typing has been received and what's next (e.g. more integration into the compiler, multiple dispatch) * Python in the embedded/-ish space (e.g. MicroPython, BBC MicroBit, RaspberryPi, android, iOS, ARM) * status of alternate implementations and tool chains: - pyjion - pyston - pypy - jython - ironpython - cython - numba - others?

I have no issue talking about the GitHub transition or about my push for the CoC applying everywhere, but I'm not sure if (B|L)arry want to give me so many talk slots (I suspect the CoC bit can be a lightning talk). -Brett > > FWIW, I've offered to present the following (as a last resort ): > > * about C OrderedDict > * about my Multi-core Python project > * the successor to PEP 406 ("Improved Encapsulation of Import State") > > -eric > ___ > python-committers mailing list > python-committers@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers > Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ > ___ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/

I've forwarded the email to a few folks to suggest they submit presentation proposals, but I also have a question for everyone else: would folks be interested in a summary of the SSL/TLS handling developments over the past couple of years and open issues (aka "things that are still hard that we would prefer were simpler") we could potentially help with in core dev? I don't think there's anything in particular pending that can't be handled just via the mailing lists and issue tracker, so this would be more a question of whether or not folks that haven't been following it closely would like to learn more about the *why* of it all. (Or, equivalently, "What do we know about network security management now that we didn't know back when the ssl module was added to Python 2.6?")
