Ruby Central is in 'real financial jeopardy,' having parted ways with its executive director, PR agency, CFO, and several contractors to cut costs.

For many years, PyCon US has relied on hotel booking commissions to help pay for our conference space. This helps us keep the event tickets affordable and to continue offering Travel Grants to community members who might not otherwise be able to attend PyCon US.

Akismet launched in 2005 as a web service to classify user-generated content as spam or not, quickly gaining popularity among bloggers facing spam issues.

Most for-profit companies still confine nonprofit relationships to corporate philanthropy. Donations flow through foundations, annual reports highlight community contributions, and nonprofit engagement is framed as evidence of corporate responsibility.

Digital products & services shape almost every sector of modern life. They have become an important backbone of the world's economy and society. The balance of our digital economy depends on a delicate interplay between tech companies, startups, software developers, foundations, and other stakeholders - many of which have partly become autonomous in recent years.

While AI tools are lowering the barrier to development, the gap between speed and manageability is growing. In just over a year and a half, AI code assistants have grown from an experiment to an integral part of modern development environments. They are driving strong productivity growth, but organizations are not keeping up with the associated security and governance issues.

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.

In 2024, when I took on the role of chair, the D&I Work Group was at a crossroads. The PSF Board had created it to amplify the Foundation's mission, and there was genuine interest from the community, but without a clear direction or structure, momentum had faded. People wanted to join, but they didn't know what the group would actually do. I knew we needed two things: a clear purpose and genuine diversity in our membership.

AI coding tools have caused as many problems as they have solved, according to industry experts. The easy-to-use and accessible nature of AI coding tools has enabled a flood of bad code that threatens to overwhelm projects. Building new features is easier than ever, but maintaining them is just as hard and threatens to further fragment software ecosystems. The result is a more complicated story than simple software abundance.

Prerequisites This guide is for all Python users who want to grow their Python knowledge, get involved with the Python community, or explore new professional opportunities. Your level of experience with Python doesn't matter, and neither does whether you use Python professionally or as a hobbyist-regularly or only from time to time. If you use Python, you're a Python developer, and Python conferences are for Python developers!

Join us on March 4th 2026, for an unforgettable, non-stop event, streamed from our studio in Amsterdam.

They'll be speaking about topics such as core Python, AI, community, web development and data science.

EuroPython depends entirely on the dedication of volunteers who invest tremendous effort into bringing it to life. From managing sponsor relationships and designing the event schedule to handling registration systems and organizing social events, countless hours of passionate work go into ensuring each year surpasses the last. Discover our recent conversation with Rodrigo Girão Serrão, who served on the EuroPython 2025 Programme Team.
