Python Software Foundation

As the Chair of the Python Software Foundation Board of Directors, I want to share my immense gratitude and excitement for the Executive Director, Director of Python Software Foundation Infrastructure and PyPI staff on the launch of?PyPI Organizations. This milestone represents much more than just a new set of features. It establishes a crucial new revenue stream for the Foundation at a time where the entire open source ecosystem has seen a shudder of corporate support. There has not been a shudder in Python language use seen by the incredible number of package installs. In the past year alone, PyPI served over 235 billion downloads for nearly 450,000 projects. PyPI is a testament to the fantastic things open source can do, and more importantly there are fantastic **people** who work towards this fantastic mission. PyPI was not VC backed like npm, but I would be remise to not congratulate all involved in Fastly's sponsorship of CDN resources to PyPI over the last ten years, and committing to five more this past May 2024. But if the hype of the language says anything, I think it says that Python has a long and promising road ahead. Let's celebrate the people who push the technology forward and the values that fosters the community from which we benefit.?I cheer them on. I'm asking the community to cheer them too!

Every year we look forward to seeing our wonderful international community at #PyConUS.
