  • The SC met with Michael Droetboom, manager of Microsoft’s Faster CPython team, and talked about the challenges of having a team of full-timers working together with volunteers, large features that need long-term planning, and handling a large amount of changes with unforeseen consequences.
  • The SC discussed moving from python-dev to discuss.python.org.
  • The SC discussed a request for extra privileges for the python GitHub organization, and decided that since the organization is currently not limited to CPython-related repos, it’s best to keep the list of owners minimal.
