The annual #Python Developers Survey is still open! Have you filled it in yet?
It takes about 15 minutes, and it makes a difference. It helps the #PSF better understand the community.

Security work isn’t glamorous, but it sure beats being pwned. The PSF says its Python Security Response Team (PSRT) shipped 16 vulnerability advisories for CPython and pip last year—record high—and even coordinates to avoid blindsiding the ecosystem (hello, PyPI ZIP differential attack mitigation). Herding cats? More like herding CVEs 😼

This week the Python Software Foundation explained how they keep Python secure. A new blog post recognizes the volunteers and paid Python Software Foundation staff on the Python Security Response Team (PSRT), who "triage and coordinate vulnerability reports and remediations keeping all Python users...

OSS has been in a tough place recently; many organisations and projects have been under strain. It's important to be proactive about supporting the projects we believe in and rely on.
For all of you who supported the #PSF fundraiser, thank you for helping to secure the future of this organisation!
Anthropic vừa công bố khoản đầu tư 1,5 triệu USD trong 2 năm cho Python Software Foundation (PSF).

The PSF have enough reputation with me personally that I'm not concerned.
If you have the opportunity to steal a couple of million from the Barrons and in turn offer them basically nothing. then that is *good actually*
It would be useful to scrutinise the text of the agreement as that is where the legal traps are that would force the PSF to do silly things that harm the community.
i.e. Take their money and damn their eyes.
@ThePSF It was this post that decided me to ask for a #psf membership for #christmas
Just got the notification that it happened. Thanks for #python !
Well, I suppose someone had to say it: I'm really disappointed that #PyPI / #PSF went as far as to use dark patterns in the donation banner.

Not sure whether this is the right place to talk about it, or if I’m using the correct terms, but I’d like to say that I’m thoroughly disappointed that PyPI would go as far as to use dark patterns for the donation drive. While I understand the need for money, I think that many people would actually be discouraged from donating upon being reminded of the patterns they see far too often, and being disrespected that way. Please consider the following screenshot: The banner is taking roughly 30...
