I’ve just published the August steering council update, also included below:
https://github.com/python/steering-council/blob/main/updates/2021-08-steering-council-update.md Just as a reminder, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us or open an issue in the SC repo: https://github.com/python/steering-council *August 2* - The Steering Council met with the Developer-in-Residence (Łukasz Langa) to discuss progress. The group also discussed what the focus should be going forward and that strategic approaches need to be considered for PRs instead of individual reviews. - The Steering Council and Ewa (current PSF Executive Director) discussed the lack of progress on the GitHub migration project. The contractor will be meeting with the SC and Ewa next week to discuss progress and a timeline to wrap up the project by end of October 2021. - Thomas has several todos that he will take care of this week and he will also reach out to the [PEP 505]( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0505/)(None-aware operators) authors to get a status update. *August 9* - The Steering Council had a meeting with the GitHub issues PM (Ezio Melotti) to learn why there has been a long period of no progress and advise what needs to be done next. The SC also discussed with Ezio a deadline of Oct 31 to complete the migration. - After the call, the SC had a debrief to review how we would proceed and whether or not we wanted to search for alternative options to complete the project. - Ewa drafted an email to Ezio on the next steps for the SC to review. The email has been sent and Ezio is working on the deliverables. Ewa and Ezio also had a call with one of our GitHub reps on import tooling. *August 16* - The Steering Council met with the Developer-in-Residence, where they gave an update on their work as well as an update on where the data analytics is heading. The group also discussed typing annotations and how to approach the existing PEPs and migration paths. - The Steering Council decided Thomas would be sending the drafted note to the author of [PEP 648]( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0648/)(Extensible customizations of the interpreter at startup) on Aug 17. - The group checked in on [PEP 649]( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0649/)(Deferred Evaluation Of Annotations Using Descriptors) by Larry Hastings and after some deliberation decided that a wider discussion is necessary on how these are handled. Barry suggested a workgroup to analyze things and Pablo reminded the SC to make sure that all relevant actors that need to be part of that discussion are present. - Carol is going to ping Nathaniel and give him until the end of August to submit a counter-proposal to [PEP 654]( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0654/)(Exception Groups and except*). *August 23* - Ewa scheduled check-in with Ezio for August 30th. SC discussed the code of conduct situation with M.S. and decided on a one-year ban. - SC brought up October 2021 sprints. They will be virtual. The group will continue discussing. *August 23* - The Steering Council met with the Developer-in-Residence to discuss progress and obstacles. They also discussed the CLA workflow and that Łukasz will communicate with Yury as they were building something similar for EdgeDB. - The Steering Council met with Ezio to discuss his progress with the GitHub migration project. The SC advised Ezio as to what the priority projects are. Regards from cloudy London, Pablo Galindo Salgado
