GitHub: remove the "needs backport to 3.5" label?
by Victor Stinner 20 Aug '19

Hi, Python 3.5 entered security fix only mode. Should we now remove the "needs backport to 3.5" label? Other security only branches don't have this label neither (3.3 and 3.4). Victor

Fwd: EPS: Announcing the Guido van Rossum Core Developer Grant
by M.-A. Lemburg 04 Feb '19

FYI... perhaps you now understand why I was keen to get the committers listed somewhere :-) -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: EPS: Announcing the Guido van Rossum Core Developer Grant Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2019 10:25:52 +0100 From: M.-A. Lemburg <mal(a)europython.eu> Organization: EuroPython Society (EPS) To: EuroPython Announcement List <europython-announce(a)python.org> At the last General Assembly of the EuroPython Society (EPS) at EuroPython 2018 in Edinburgh, we voted on a new grant program we want to put in place for future EuroPython conferences. We all love Python and this is one of the main reasons we are putting on EuroPython year after year, serving the "cast of thousands" which support Python. But we also believe it is important to give something back to the main team of developers who have contributed lots of their time and energy to make Python happen: the Python Core Developers. This group is small, works countless hours, often in their free time and often close to burnout due to not enough new core developers joining the team. Free Tickets for Python Core Developers --------------------------------------- To help with growing the team, putting it more into the spotlight and give them a place to meet, demonstrate their work and a stage to invite new developers, we decided to give Python Core Developers free entry to future EuroPython conferences, starting with EuroPython 2019 in Basel, Switzerland In recognition of Guido’s almost 20 years of leading this team, and with his permission, we have named the grant “Guido van Rossum Core Developer Grant”. Details of the grant program are available on our core grant page: https://www.europython-society.org/core-grant PS: If you are a core developer and want to organize a workshop, language summit or similar event at EuroPython 2019, please get in touch with our program workgroup (program(a)europython.eu) soon, so that we can arrange rooms, slots, etc. PPS: If you want to become a core developer, please have a look at the Python Dev Guide: https://devguide.python.org/coredev/ Help spread the word -------------------- Please help us spread this message by sharing it on your social networks as widely as possible. Thank you !

Election: you can change your vote
by Antoine Pitrou 27 Jan '19

27 Jan '19

Hello, I wasn't aware, and it doesn't seem mentioned prominently in the voting system, but if you have already voted, you can still change your vote by logging in again with the original vote URL (apparently it will cast a new ballot). Nathaniel originally mentioned this on Discourse, but it was in the middle of a discussion, so not everybody might have seen it. Regards Antoine.

Steering council nomination: Brett Cannon
by Brett Cannon 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Self-nominating to test the whole process out and various people told me they assumed I was running so I take that as an implicit nomination by someone. ;) https://discuss.python.org/t/steering-council-nomination-brett-cannon/620 lists a bunch of things to try and act as a suggestion for others who may want to try and explain why they think they are qualified to be on the council.
