2012 Q1 Community Service Awards

The Foundation wishes to thank Carl Trachte and Audrey Roy for their work in the Python community with Community Service Awards for the first quarter of 2012.

Carl has put significant effort into diversifying and supporting non-English speaking writers for the Python Wiki.

Audrey also put in a lot of time diversifying the community with her work in creating the PyLadies group as well speaking on outreach issues as numerous conferences.

On behalf of the Python community, the PSF thanks Carl and Audrey for their time and effort!

Request for Proposal: Redesign python.org

The main Python site at www.python.org was redesigned in 2005-2006 -- over six years ago. It's time for a redesign, to improve the organization of the site and its appearance, and to simplify the task for the volunteers who maintain the content. The PSF would therefore like fund the design and implementation of a new look and architecture for python.org. The web development landscape has also changed a lot since 2006, and we look forward to seeing what this community can produce.

The Request for Proposal for the python.org redesign has been published on readthedocs.org. Questions and comments can be e-mailed to the psf-redesign mailing list at psf-redesign at python.org. Proposals are due by July 21st 2012, two months from today.

The RFP was initially drafted by Jesse Noller, and feedback from the python.org site maintainers was incorporated by Andrew Kuchling.
