It's that time of the year again. If you've came for the language and stayed for the community, vote if you're eligible, and run for board membership if you are able too! We need more people with more diverse skills and background to bring us forward ⏩ ⏩ ⏩

Do you use Python?
Then you should join the PSF and vote in its elections.
Remember, Python (and all open source software) isn't about getting free stuff.
Rather, it's about the community. It's about us — the users — deciding on Python's future, not a company.
Join and vote!
