Earlier this month, Conservancy helped North Bay Python 2017 complete an excellent Python conference focused on Free and Open Source Software for Python. As with all our member projects, they succeed because of our excellent collaboration between volunteers and Conservancy staff to make sure all the work gets done right.
Christopher Neubaugher, conference chair of North Bay Python 2017 encourages you to become a Conservancy Supporter today.
