Clear message

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 will be voting.
  • Accounting: We rely on the PSF's donation and accounting mechanisms to raise funds and disburse them to the selected recipients.

Current Projects

Fundraising

The Packaging Working Group is seeking sponsorships and grants to raise funds.

Sprints

We will run PackagingSprints in 2019 at PyCon North America and possibly other conventions.

Warehouse

The Packaging Working Group applied for and is receiving a grant to implement & deploy security and accessibility improvements for Warehouse (PyPI's codebase).
