The PSF Community Service Awards (CSAs) are a formal way for the PSF Board of Directors to offer recognition of work which, in its opinion, significantly improves the Foundation's fulfillment of its mission to build a vibrant, welcoming, global Python community. These awards shine a light on the incredible people who are the heart and soul of our community- those whose dedication, creativity, and generosity help the PSF fulfill its mission.

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.

Join us on March 4th 2026, for an unforgettable, non-stop event, streamed from our studio in Amsterdam. We'll be joined live by 15 well-known and beloved speakers from Python communities around the globe, including Carol Willing, Deb Nicholson, Sheena O'Connell, Paul Everitt, Marlene Mhangami, and Carlton Gibson. They'll be speaking about topics such as core Python, AI, community, web development and data science.

The eighth official annual Python Developers Survey involved over 30,000 Python developers from nearly 200 countries, providing insights into the language’s ecosystem.
