AUCKLAND, New Zealand – Thursday 18th December 2014 – linux.conf.au 2015 organisers are proud to announce an update to our funding programme!
Python Software Foundation Outreach Programme
LCA 2015 and the Python Software Foundation are proud to support our community. To supplement the existing InternetNZ Diversity fund the PSF have donated additional funds for candidates within the Python community.
The Python Software Foundation appreciates LCA 2015's commitment to diversity, and is proud to add its own contribution in the form of the Python Software Foundation Outreach Fund. Much system software for Linux is written in Python (including both distro level tools and open source system management projects like OpenStack, Salt and Ansible), and Linux is often the default choice for deployment of Python web services and other networked applications. This contribution is intended to strengthen ties between the Python and Linux communities by assisting under-represented delegates who participate in the Python community in the region but, without financial assistance, would not be able to attend LCA 2015.
For more information please see our funding registration page.
