    This is great seeing that Python is moving on like this. There are probably not just one Python community though.

    There’s also the annual report, and communications with sponsors and donors — and Nordin also wants to clarify to the community all the benefits of PSF memberships.

    Oh okay then.

    “those really cool stories, like the sending-shuttles-into-space sort of thing…

    So basically, things we already hear about?

    I mean, there are tons done by Python groups of enthusiasts in Africa for instance. Talk to me about those.

    The idea sounds good and we need to give it time to come to life but the article makes it sound like it’s yet another Americanism.

    In any organization a communication manager is extremely important. How they do their work is often the problem.

    For example /u/marie_psf ( the psf communication manager) posted here once 17 days ago. She’s not really “amplifying the message”, or at least not here.

      On the surface this seems a bit unfair given how new the account is. Organizations can also prioritize where and how they communicate. They aren’t beholden to a particular platform or sub-community.

      Further, a comms manager is better spending their time doing things that scale like getting alignment across all comms or giving media training to key leaders. Posts her are nice but I don’t see them making ripples across the Python community.

    “help amplify the stories and voices of the Python community”

    I’m skeptical of anyone that uses this type of language. I would get it if they made a position for someone that was already doing the work but she doesn’t have more than a thousand followers on twitter.

      Could you expand, what are you skeptical of and what do you mean by “type of langugage”?

      I would consider this fairly normal annoucement style language and be much more interested in the practical tasks someone does, before prejudging someone.

      I stopped going to python events because the amount of woke bullshit was off the chart. It was rare to find decent talks from competent people, and I preferred to watch them online from names I recognise rather than going there and waste hours being “educated” about “the message”
