Thanks and congratulations to our incoming board members, and thanks also to all of the other candidates who offered to volunteer their time providing community oversight of the operations of the PSF! For folks that weren't themselves elected, but nevertheless have initiatives they would like to pursue, I'll take the opportunity to remind everyone of the active PSF Working Groups (https://www.python.org/psf/committees/#active-work-groups), as well as: - the Grants program, to request financial support for community initiatives: https://www.python.org/psf/grants/ - fiscal sponsorship arrangements, whereby the PSF provides legal and administrative support for management of targeted donations: https://wiki.python.org/moin/FiscalSponsorship - the process for forming new Working Groups in the ByLaws to provide PSF-backed organisational structure, and potentially a recurring annual budget: https://www.python.org/psf/bylaws/ For folks that are mainly interested in *doing* the work of the PSF, rather than in deciding which activities should be prioritised when allocating funding support, these other possibilities may also be more appealing than standing for election to the Board of Directors :) Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ PSF-Community mailing list PSF-Community@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/psf-community
