"The mission of the Python Software Foundation is to promote, protect, and advance the Python programming language, and to support and facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python programmers."

That's a lot of responsibility, and to that end, the PSF Board Directors help out quite a bit.

If you want to be a part of the board, you can. There's an election coming up right around the corner and you gotta get your nomination in by May 31. You can also join the PSF if you want to vote for who gets to be part of the board.

But what does it really mean to be on the Board, and what are some of the things the PSF does?

To help answer those questions, I've got Ewa Jodlowska, the PSF Executive Director, and Christopher Neugebauer, a current board member, on the show today. I've also got some great links in the show notes if we don't answer your questions and you want to find out more.

Special Guests: Christopher Neugebauer and Ewa Jodlowska.
