Interview prominent Pythonistas, connect with the community, expand your circle of friends and learn about events in the Python world!

As a PSF blogger you will work with the PSF Communication Officers to brainstorm blog content, communicate activities, and provide updates on content progression. Example of content includes PSF community service awardee profiles, details about global Python events and PSF grants, or recent goings-on within the PSF itself. One goal of the 2017 - 2018 PSF Board of Directors is to increase transparency around PSF activities by curating more frequent blog content. The Python Software Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that holds the intellectual property rights behind the Python programming language. We also run the North American PyCon conference annually, support other Python conferences/workshops around the world, and...

Python's versatility, clean syntax, and welcoming community have continued to win people over, and now we have a new advantage: data science is a growth industry and Python is positioned ideally. Who would have thought our 26-year-old language would outrun Javascript, Go, and Swift? Python's rapid growth in 2017, and its bright prospects for 2018, are the community's greatest achievement of the year. This past year the Python Software Foundation continued to give out grants and support many events all around the world. There are ...
