New Honorary Associate Membership
by Steve Holden March 15, 2012

March 15, 2012

Kurt Kaiser and I have just updated the psfmember.org site, and I am delighted to say that it is now ready for users to start registering! This could be more money for the PSF, but there are few links to the site at the moment. Kurt is about to send the button he is suggesting you use to put the site prominently on the python.org home page in much the same way that the linuxfoundation.org does. https://lunixfoundation.org/about/join/individual You can pretty much decide on the design yourselves, though a professional designer would be helpful. regards Steve

PSF server monitoring
by Noah Kantrowitz March 14, 2012

March 14, 2012

I am happy to report that we now have real monitoring for the main PSF services. These currently include www.python.org, PyPI, and the mail server. For the moment I am the only one in the pager rotation, but once I am confident that I haven't misconfigured anything I would like to extend a big thanks to Richard Jones, Jannis Leidel, and Eric Holscher, who have all agreed to join me in being on-call should anything break. If anyone else is interested in joining the rotation, please just send me an email (notably please include your timezone, trying to keep it so no one has to be on-call at night) and I will be happy to add you to the list. I would also like to thank PagerDuty and Pingdom again, for providing us these awesome services. --Noah Kantrowitz
