Greetings list, I have a project in mind to help document the Python community. It involves among others keeping a within reach info of user groups (name, location, contact) and checking activity status.
Sending the mail to this list since i could not find a <https://www.python.org/psf/committees/> community <https://www.python.org/psf/committees/> workgroup. I know Mr Chris is in the Wiki team and that Mrs McKellar once toured Python usergroup spaces for a PSF community-related initiative many years ago. Besides those i don't know any specific person who might be interested This occurs after we organised <https://flaskcon.com> FlaskCon <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3QC5pASs8v5YVxKwJDtZeQ>. It was an ugly experience contacting user groups around the world. The wiki is outdated. Many user groups are no longer active, some websites are down, others have weird ways of communicating. This mail is basically to gather interested folks together with the hope of hatching a minimum viable plan d'action. Being myself a usergroup organiser <https://www.pymug.com>, we'd like to find a way to 1. make user groups compliant to a minimum standard 2. put the appropriate mechanism in place so that the PSF can easily have a watch over user groups and give them some bumps from time to time 3. some kind of onboarding and advices for new user groups In parallel I am also thinking of documenting user groups histories, starting with those I have some sort of relationship with. The idea behind is to reinforce the community touch. The draft might seem a tedious task for the expected benefits but with the right approach it will be smooth. Feel free to continue the conversation!
