Calling all community organizers! We want to sit down together and share what’s going well, what new tricks we’ve learned, and what’s been challenging in the area of organizing Python and Python adjacent communities. So if you’re attending PyCon US this year and you run a local Python meet-up, help organize a regional conference, or facilitate peer learning through workshops or hack nights, we hope you will join us at the Community Organizer Summit and the PSF & Meetups Discussion.
Community Organizer Summit: 10:30 am - 1 pm on Saturday, May 17th
PSF & Meetups Discussion: 1pm - 2pm on Sunday, May 18th
Saturday’s Community Organizer Summit kicks off with a keynote and then three short “Show & Tell” slots, for which the CFP is open now. After the more formal sessions, we’ll break into unconference discussions, so be sure to bring your ideas. If you’re not able to make it to Pittsburgh but you want to join the ongoing conversation about conference organizing, please consider joining the bi-monthly Conference Chats on Discord. Thanks so much to Mason Egger, Heather White and Kevin Horn for organizing the Summit!
Sunday’s PSF & Meetups Discussion is organized by the PSF board and is intended to kick off a more collaborative and purposeful era of Python community organizer knowledge sharing! Community organizer meetups have been happening casually at PyCon US and (more famously) at EuroPython for a few years now. We’re looking to make this year’s PyCon US session into a jumping off point for a global conversation that we hope to see happen regularly in lots of places around the world, as well as online. If you’ve got ideas or want to be involved in this conversation, please email community-organizing@pyfound.org
This is not just for experienced organizers! Looking to start a community and want to learn from a group of awesome people? Come join us!
