Wednesday, August 16, 2017—We are proud to announce that North Bay Python is now a member project of Software Freedom Conservancy, a 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to ethical technology and the development and promotion free and open source software. Conservancy will act as our fiscal sponsor, allowing our team to operate without managing our own corporate structure and administrative services.
-Conservancy is home to many popular free and open source software projects, like Selenium, phpMyAdmin, Twisted, and Outreachy, some of which run their own events. North Bay Python has the distinct honor of being the first member project that is exclusively focused on organizing community events.

We couldn't be more excited. We're celebrating by donating five free tickets to Outreachy participants and will be promoting member projects relevant to the Python community at the conference. Interested Outreachy alums (past or present) should contact us. We'll also have discounted tickets available for active financial supporters of Software Freedom Conservancy.
