Agenda
The purpose of this working group is to support the larger efforts of improving and maintaining the packaging ecosystem in Python through fundraising and disbursement of raised funds. It largely focuses on efforts such as PyPI, pip, packaging.python.org, setuptools, and cross-project efforts.
Resources
- Discussion: Slack and mailing list. The archives are set to private since there is voting.
- Accounting: We rely on the PSF's donation and accounting mechanisms to raise funds and disburse them to the selected recipients.
- Project ideas: Fundable Packaging Improvements
Governance
Decisions on what fundraising and projects/efforts to support will be done by a simple majority and in the case of a tie, will escalate to the PSF Board. See the PSF Packaging WG Charter.
