Applications to Join the PSF Meetup Pro Network Are Back Open Following the introduction of the PSF Community Partner Program, the Python Software Foundation (PSF) is pleased to announce that we have reopened the application for Python Meetup groups to join the PSF’s Meetup Pro Network! We’re very excited to bring back this offering to the Python community after applications were temporarily suspended under the broader PSF Grants Program pause last August. Make sure to check out the PSF’s Meetup Pro Network documentation page for more information on how to apply. Reopening applications for the PSF’s Meetup Pro Network is a small but meaningful step forward for our community support-focused programs. The rest of the PSF Grants Program remains on hold while we work through important considerations, such as what we can responsibly budget and how the program will be structured for long-term sustainability. We look forward to sharing more updates when possible. The PSF welcomes your comments, feedback, and suggestions regarding the reopening of the PSF Meetup Pro Network on the corresponding Discuss thread. We also invite you to join our upcoming PSF Board or Grants Program Office Hour sessions to talk with the PSF Board and Staff synchronously. If you wish to send your feedback privately, please email grants@python.org.

#Python #PSF #PythonCommunity

Introducing the PSF Community Partner Program The Python Software Foundation (PSF) is excited to announce the introduction of the PSF Community Partner Program. This new program is designed as an “in-kind” way for us to support Python events and initiatives with non-financial assistance through the use of the PSF logo and name, as well as promotional support via sharing qualified posts on PSF official social media accounts. The PSF looks forward to supporting Python community events and initiatives through this new program!The introduction of the PSF Community Partner Program grew out of our desire to find alternative ways to support the community during the pause of our Grants Program (read more about the resulting process below). Even so, we intend to continue offering this in-kind support program after the Grants Program reopens. Our big picture hope is that, over the long term, some community events and initiatives will continue to partner with the PSF while being financially dependent on sponsors and individual donors alone. The PSF is also working on the future of our Grants Program, including when and how we can reopen it in a way that ensures the program’s long-term sustainability while balancing the needs of the Python community. In light of the truly staggering outpouring of support from our community during the 2025 year-end fundraiser, we are now in a stronger position to reopen the Grants Program and are eager to give back in a thoughtful and sustainable way. More updates to come!As with the rollout of any new program, we anticipate small adjustments will need to be made for processes to flow smoothly and to ensure the program serves the Python community well. The PSF welcomes your comments, feedback, and suggestions regarding the new Community Partner Program on the corresponding Discuss thread. We also invite you to join our upcoming PSF Board or Grants Program Office Hour sessions to talk with the PSF Board and Staff synchronously. If you wish to send your feedback privately, please email grants@python.org. 

Introducing the PSF Community Partner Program! The PSF is very excited to announce this new in-kind offering that expands how we support Python community events and initiatives around the world, now and alongside future community support programs 💝🐍
