PyCon Language Summit: Wednesday 9th April
by Michael Foord Jan. 6, 2014

Jan. 6, 2014

Hello all, As with previous years we will be having a Language Summit at PyCon North America, in Montreal. The summit will be on Wednesday 9th April and running from approximately 10am to 4pm. As Python committers you're invited, but please respond if you're attending so I can track numbers. When we have specific venue details I will email them to all attendees. I will also be inviting "core members" of other implementations and prominent Python projects. The topic of conversation will largely be "floor led" with a focus on plans for Python 3.5, but we will endeavour to have updates from members of the alternative implementations of Python and important topics like tulip, PyPI, packaging and so on. If you have topics you would like to see discussed please let me know. We may have some other short presentations, but they will be time limited (and the time limit enforced!). Attending the Summit is free. You are responsible for your travel and hotel costs. If you wish to attend PyCon, you must still register and pay for PyCon. Note that you don't have to stay for PyCon if you're only interested in the Language Summit. Regards, Michael Foord Coordinator, Python Language Summit -- http://www.voidspace.org.uk/ May you do good and not evil May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others May you share freely, never taking more than you give. -- the sqlite blessing http://www.sqlite.org/different.html

So all the buildbots are red for the moment. A mixture of red and green would have been more appropriate for today, I think :) --David

MSDN Renewals
by Brian Curtin Dec. 19, 2013

Dec. 19, 2013

Hi all, I've heard from some people in a previous batch that their MSDN subscriptions are due to expire in January. If yours will be expiring soon and you'd like an update, please let me know the email address associated with the account, and your subscription ID. I believe that ID was included in a notification email you might have gotten informing you of the upcoming expiration, but if not, you can find it on https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/manage/ when you're logged in. If you don't currently have a subscription (it gets you Visual Studio, OS licenses, etc) but would like one, please send me the email you'd like to use for the account, your mailing address, and your phone number. They don't mail you or call you, but Microsoft requires that info for the subscription. Brian

3.4 beta releases and the tracker
by Ethan Furman Dec. 3, 2013

Okay, I haven't asked a dumb question in a while, so here goes: Is there an easy way to focus on tracker issues that can be worked on now that feature-freeze is in effect? -- ~Ethan~

Anatoly has been warned about his behaviour potentially leading to his loss of tracker privileges
by Brett Cannon Dec. 1, 2013

Dec. 1, 2013

I just want to make sure others know that Georg has warned Anatoly that if he continues to re-open a specific issue he will lose his tracker privileges (http://bugs.python.org/issue19822#msg204696). I stand behind his warning and will support anyone who enforces it. I would suggest that if he does this to *any* other issue that he be warned that flipping *any *fields after a core dev has made a decision and without discussing it first will also lead to his loss of privileges. I would also like to point out his attitude is still horrible at times; being accused of spreading "ill FUD policies in favor of creating [a] collaborative environment" is not exactly polite ( http://bugs.python.org/issue19826#msg204693).
