PSF Reopens Applications for Meetup Pro Network
The Python Software Foundation (PSF) has officially reopened applications for Python Meetup groups to join its Meetup Pro Network. This initiative, which covers subscription costs for qualified groups, was previously suspended in August 2025 alongside the broader PSF Grants Program to ensure long-term financial sustainability. While the general grants program remains on hold, the PSF considers this reopening a significant step in supporting community-focused activities. Currently, the network supports 109 groups at a cost of $15 per group per month. To qualify, Meetup groups must feature majority Python-related content, display a Code of Conduct, and host at least two events annually. Organizers retain full control over membership and event management, including any registration fees. The PSF invites interested parties to apply via psfmember.org and encourages community feedback through their discussion forums or direct email. This move aims to alleviate financial burdens on volunteer organizers while fostering a diverse and active global Python community.
