🎯 Ever wonder why some teams just click while others struggle, despite having brilliant people?

This is the first part of a series of articles exploring that very question. www.sheenaoc.com/articles/20...

This isn't theoretical fluff - it's for teams engaged in real thought-work.

The latest PSF Board is excited to continue monthly Office Hours into 2026! We welcome you to join these sessions to share with us how we can help your local and project based communities, express your perspectives, and provide feedback for the PSF 🐍📣
A new PSF Board- Another year of PSF Board Office Hour sessions!
Greetings, Pythonistas- thank you so much for supporting the work of the PSF and the Python community! The newest PSF Board has decided to continue investing in connecting with the global Python community by running the PSF Board Office Hour sessions on the PSF Discord into 2026. We began running these sessions in September 2024, and they have proven to be a great method for the community to connect with the board and vice versa. The sessions have provided the PSF Board and Staff the opportunity to hear what our community is up to and what challenges they are facing, as well as receive invaluable feedback about how the PSF can continue to improve our service to the Python community.

Since #PyConAfrica, many have asked me for advice on starting a #Python community. Success varies with context—whether educating youth or connecting professionals. I know some contexts better than others.

Question: Are there resources or stories you can recommend?

If you have ever tried integrating #AllAuth into a #Django project and fallen short, this workshop is for you. It doesn't just teach AllAuth, it cover's Django's internals in a way that makes these kinds of integrations a breeze.
