Python Software Foundation

This quarter, let us take a moment to thank those that spend countless hours supporting the growth of Python. Volunteers are crucial to the success of our community and The Python Software Foundation relies on volunteer efforts to achieve many of its goals. Volunteers help maintain Python's code base, organize events, work on outreach and education, and so much more.

We'd like to highlight recent Community Service Awards that the PSF's blog team has published articles about:

If you know someone that deserves recognition through a Community Service Award, please nominate them.
