Thank you to the 421 people who voted for me. Wow. My following is probably smaller than that 😅 so thank you. I wrote my nomination at PyLATAM in CR and heard results at PyLadies Dublin. @whykay.bsky.social told me how much a PSF visit meant. The number in the room doesn't matter. Showing up does.🧵

The PSF continues to feel deeply grateful for the outpouring of support from the Python community before and during our 2025 year-end fundraiser. We put together this thank you video to share our appreciation and joy to be in community with each of you 🐍🫶 #PythonisForEveryone

🥹 5,600 contributions and $500k! This comes from YOU. It's a game-changer for @python.org. It proves that Python is more than a language, it’s a community of people who believe in building together. Thank you to every contributor. You're the foundation ❤️ P.S: @cheuk.dev is glad to keep her hair.

Python Software Foundation@python.org

!!!!!! YOU DID IT- you helped us raise over ✨$500k✨ to support #PythonForEveryone 🥹🤯 We are astonished and deeply committed to making every dollar count. Words and emojis feel inadequate to express our vast appreciation, but we still want to say them: Thank you! THANK YOU! Thanks & MORE thanks 🥰🥰🥰

As the PSF heads into our end-of-year fundraiser this month, we want to “connect the dots” and share a full picture of our current financial outlook: what’s happening, why, and how you can help sustain the future of Python and the PSF. 🧵

pyfound.blogspot.comConnecting the Dots: Understanding the PSF’s Current Financial OutlookAs the PSF heads into our end-of-year fundraiser, we want to share information to help “connect the dots” and show a more complete picture of the PSF’s current financial outlook. You’ve heard from us on subjects related to our financial position from several different angles recently (a list of those posts is below). We’ve prioritized proactive communications, because we believe in transparency, we have trust in our community, and we value keeping you informed— we know how invested in and impacted by our work you are. We now want to pull those threads together in order to create some shared clarity on the big picture, and, hopefully, inspire you to action to support our fundraising efforts.

It was the right thing to do. It wouldn’t be worthwhile if we couldn’t stand behind the diverse communities that form the backbone of Python. It’s tough cos the ecosystem is expanding faster than resources. Sustaining takes real funding and responsibilities. Our year-end fundraising is coming soon.

Python Software Foundation@python.org

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

Thank you, @developer.arm.com, for investing in the future of #Python and the PSF by hosting this year’s CPython sprint– we appreciate your support!

Arm Software Developers@developer.arm.com

🐍 CPython Core Dev Sprint 2025 wrap: ~50 core devs (yes, Guido too) and invited guests hacking in Cambridge. JIT, free-threading, C-API, endless side discussions. It's safe to say the best ideas start over coffee and a whiteboard with @python.org: community.arm.com/arm-communit...

The PSF Grants Program has been temporarily paused after hitting our 2025 funding cap early. It was an extremely difficult but necessary decision to ensure the program and foundation’s near and long term sustainability. Learn more on our blog: pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-...

pyfound.blogspot.comThe PSF has paused our Grants ProgramEffective August 1st, 2025, the PSF is temporarily pausing our Grants Program after reaching our 2025 grant budget cap earlier than expected. We know how important this program is to many in our community and making this decision was difficult. This is a necessary step to protect both the future of the program and the short- and long-term sustainability of the PSF. (If this moves you immediately to donate to the PSF, we welcome your contributions via our donations page).
