Ewa Jodlowska Steps Down as PSF Executive Director
On June 16, the Python Software Foundation (PSF) announced that Executive Director Ewa Jodlowska has decided to leave the foundation at the end of 2021.
Even if you haven’t heard of Ewa, you’ve undoubtedly been impacted by her work. As Executive Director, Ewa is responsible for ensuring that the PSF achieves its mission “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.”
The PSF is responsible for managing and maintaining the python.org website as well as the Python Package Index. The PSF also supports and funds events and workshops for organizations such as Django Girls and PyLadies as well as other Python conferences and meetups worldwide.
In addition to managing community outreach, the PSF supports and funds Python software development. This includes organizing, funding, and supporting CPython sprints. As you’ll learn later in this article, the PSF’s funding and support go beyond support for the core Python language. The PSF also helps Python libraries with various grants and fiscal sponsorship programs.
