Community Update: Python Software Foundation with Dawn Wages
summary
Community update reports that the Python Software Foundation pauses its grant program for the coming year while still historically giving about $300,000/year in grants; membership now accepts either five-plus hours/month of volunteer time or a sliding-scale paid option; CPython sprints and workgroups (including PYON) continue as governance and contributor funnels; fundraising and a postponed meetup grant program change cash flow; Python 3.14 release timing and tooling priorities (performance and GC work) get mentioned as concrete outcomes.
