| = Python Software Foundation = This page will collects information about the [[http://www.python.org/psf/|Python Software Foundation]]. For more details, please also have a look at the [[http://www.python.org/psf/|PSF section]] section on the main python.org web site. The [[psf/|PSF Members' Wiki]] is provided for collaboration amongst PSF members on topics that are not intended to be shared with the entire internet. The (public) front page of the members' wiki lists some examples of such material. <<TableOfContents>> == Board of Directors, Officers, Committees and Members == * [[http://www.python.org/psf/members/#board-of-directors|PSF Board of Directors]] -- The board manages the PSF at a high level. Additional information about the board of directors is also available on [[PythonSoftwareFoundationBoard|PythonSoftwareFoundationBoard]]. * [[http://www.python.org/psf/members/#board-of-directors|PSF Officers]] -- Our officers take care of the day-to-day business. * [[http://www.python.org/psf/committees|PSF Committees]] -- This lists the committees that are currently active in the PSF. * [[http://www.python.org/psf/members/#members|PSF Members]] -- Our ever-growing base of people who have a strong interest in Python. == PSF Projects == === 2011: PSF Sprints Program === ''Active project'' The PSF funds and helps organize a Python sprints program. See [[http://pythonsprints.com/|pythonsprints.com]] for details. Website: http://pythonsprints.com/ PSF Project Leader: Brian Curtin === 2011: PyPI Cloud Mirroring Project === ''Dormant project'' A group of PSF members is working on creating a stable PyPI mirroring installation that uses a content delivery network to make PyPI more robust and performant. PSF Project Leader: [[MarcAndreLemburg|MarcAndreLemburg]] === 2011: PSF Python Brochure Project === ''Active project'' The PSF is underwriting the development of a professional quality Python image brochure to be used in marketing Python to businesses, governments, schools, etc. The printed brochure will be made available to conferences, user groups, companies and schools. Website: http://brochure.getpython.info/ PSF Project Leader: [[MarcAndreLemburg|MarcAndreLemburg]] === 2006 + 2007: Grants Program === ''Project completed'' The PSF started a grants program to fund Python-related conferences, activities and development. For more information, see [[http://www.python.org/psf/grants/|PSF Grants]]. Note that while the grants program was ended, the PSF is still accepting applications for grants and helps fund conferences, events and project all around the world. PSF Project Leader: Martin von Löwis === 2006: Python Advocacy Coordinator === ''Project completed'' In August 2006, the PSF board voted to fund [[http://python.org/psf/grants/advocacy/orig-proposal.pdf|a proposal]] from Jeff Rush for him to act as a full time Python Advocacy Coordinator for a period of six months. In this position, Jeff will work full time on developing and implementing an effective advocacy strategy for Python. His tasks will include writing content for the website and printable brochures for conferences, expanding Python's coverage in technical journals, and building a more effective network of advocacy volunteers from the community. Jeff is known for his work on [[PyCon|PyCon]] 2006, and will be reporting to a group of several PSF directors and officers (initially Stephan Deibel, Chairman of the Board, and Neal Norwitz, Assistant Treasurer). For details and progress reports see [[PythonAdvocacyCoordinator|PythonAdvocacyCoordinator]]. PSF Project Leader: Jeff Rush === 2005: Python.org website redesign === ''Project completed'' In January 2005, the PSF board voted to fund a proposal (see [[WebsiteRedesignProposal|WebsiteRedesignProposal]]) from Tim Parkin and Matt Goodall to develop a new framework for the python.org website. The purpose of this is to update the look for the python.org site and move to a more accessible and modern design (based on CSS), while keeping maintenance of the site simple and avoiding reliance on heavy monolithic tools. This website has now been rolled out, although work on content and the toolset is ongoing. For details see http://www.python.org/dev/pydotorg/website/ Project Leader: Tim Parkin == PSF Fiscal Sponsorship == In 2011, the PSF began to provide Fiscal Sponsorship for Python groups. This allows groups like Boston Python to receive tax-deductible donations through the PSF. Currently, the PSF is sponsoring under Colvin's Model A for "Direct Projects". This model is for organizations that have no independent legal status. It is the same as if the work was being done by PSF volunteers. For further information, refer to [[FiscalSponsorship|FiscalSponsorship]]. == PSF License and Trademarks == === Use of Trademarks or Python License === Our most commonly asked question is about use of the name "Python" or the Python logo, both of which are trademarks. If you want to use these, please see the PSF's Trademark Usage Policy at http://python.org/psf/trademarks. Variants of the logo are available at http://python.org/community/logos. The second most commonly asked questions involve the Python software license (whether Python can be included in another product, terms of the license, etc). For that, see [[PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseFaq|PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseFaq]]. === PSF License === '''Important''': See [[PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseFaq|PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseFaq]] before using the following licenses. * [[PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseV2Easy|PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseV2Easy]] -- Approved Oct 22, 2004 as the official Python Software Foundation License Version 2 * [[PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseV2Revised|PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseV2Revised]] -- Revised license that may be used as the basis for Version 3 in the future. === PSF Software Contribution Agreement === The following agreement is being used for contributors to Python, to ensure that all of the source code and documentation in Python are properly licensed. * http://www.python.org/psf/contrib.html == Historical Records == * http://zope.org/Members/lemburg/psc-wiki/FrontPage/view -- wiki containing older information on fund raising, from the days before the PSF become a 501(c)3 non-profit. * [[PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseV2|PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseV2]] -- Old draft for Python Software Foundation License Version 2 (not adopted and now defunct) == Discussion == === How do Modules Become Part of the Python Distribution? === I've always wondered: How do modules become part of the Python distribution? What kind of process do you follow, what groups do you participate in, to become a part of that? I've looked around, but haven't found any web pages on the subject. -- [[LionKimbro|LionKimbro]] 2004-06-28 21:22:21 Answer: The final decision is by BDFL pronouncement, but the usual process is that the module is first written as a stand-alone module, and released. After it's been in use for some time, the author makes the suggestion in comp.lang.python or python-dev (both are used, I'm not sure which is preferred) that it be adopted into the standard distribution. This gets discussed by the usual crowd and usually the answer is obvious long before it ever gets to Guido. Certain modules skip the stand-alone stage and are adopted directly into the standard library, but that is usually because the module was written in response to requests, and frequently by an experienced python core developer. If you are interested in getting your module adopted into the core, the #1 question you are sure to be asked is "are you willing to commit to supporting this module for at least the next 5 years?", because unless SOMEONE is willing to volunteer to provide that support the module can't be accepted. -- [[MichaelChermside|MichaelChermside]] [[http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0002/|PEP 2, "Procedure for Adding New Modules"]] contains details. -- David Goodger I'm not going to delete this answer because it represents useful information which I hope will migrate elsewhere. I should point out, however, that these decisions are nothing to do with the PSF, which normally leaves development work to the developers unless assistance is specifically requested. -- Steve Holden |
