[python-committers] Opting-in for Hacktoberfest

[Mariatta]

Hello,

I would like to propose that we opt-in the CPython project for
Hacktoberfest this year, by adding the hacktoberfest topic on the GitHub
repository.

https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/

Hacktoberfest is an annual event organized by Digital Ocean, now in the 8th
year, where aspiring contributors are encouraged to contribute to open
source projects.

I'm a member of the Hacktoberfest Advisory council
 this year. As
council members, we discussed the focus on maintainers and rewarding
maintainers for their participation.

This year, maintainers can also get rewarded for helping to review pull
requests that come during this month.

Additionally, participating projects can get listed in their "Giving
" page, where people can
find projects to donate to. It would be great for CPython to be listed
there so people can donate through GitHub Sponsors.

In order to participate, we need to add the "hacktoberfest" topic on the
repo, it will signify that we're accepting hacktoberfest contributions.

If you, as core developers, want to be rewarded for hacktoberfest (get a
commemorative t-shirt, or have a tree planted on your behalf), then you can
sign up here: https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/ (choose to sign up as
maintainer). This is totally optional.

I know you're all already reviewing PRs anyway. Yes we may receive
increased PRs, if you don't have the bandwidth of reviewing additional PRs,
you don't have to try to increase your capacity. Just continue doing what
you're already doing.

In the past, we did receive quite a number of spam/invalid PRs in this
month, which led to projects having to opt-in for hacktoberfest. Since
projects have to opt-in, it reduces the number of projects people can
contribute to. I'm hoping that CPython can opt-in this year and be
welcoming of hacktoberfest contributions.

I would suggest that we opt-in for at least a week. If we do see many
spammy PRs, then let's opt out of it. If not, we can continue.

I do have the ability to add/remove hacktoberfest topic myself, so if we're
okay with this, I can go ahead and do it. I will also remove the topic once
the month ended.

To reiterate:
- As core devs, you don't have to do anything more. Continue doing what
you're doing now.
- As core devs, it is optional for you to sign up for Hacktoberfest. If you
do sign up, you could receive commemorative t-shirt, or have a tree planted
on your behalf
- By opting in, we can get listed in Hacktoberfest's giving page, to give
exposure to our GitHub Sponsors page
- We may see more spammy PRs. If this becomes an issue, we'll opt-out.

Let me know if you have any concerns.

I'll wait till Friday, if there's no strong objection, I will proceed with
opting in.

Thanks.

[python-committers] Thanks for your work in Python 3.10

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

Hi everyone,

Now that 3.10.0 is finally released I wanted to take the time to thank you
all for all your fantastic
work this past year. Is because of the sum of all your fantastic work that
Python 3.10 is going to be
such a fantastic release. No matter if you have been working in fixing
bugs, adding features,
improving the documentation, reviewing contributor PRs, helping with the
infrastructure, helping with
the buildbot fleet, triaging bugs or discussing PEPs and features, your
work is tremendously appreciated:
you make a tremendous impact in Python and its community.

I also wanted to make sure to thank again all the people that helped with
the release itself and with the
numerous release blockers and also for your patience when I had to delay
your feature to 3.11 or your
bugfix to 3.10.1.

It has been a privilege to be able to release the result of your work to
the community!

Thank you all, your work really makes a difference.

Regards from sunny London,
Pablo Galindo Salgado
