GitHub - python/steering-council: Communications from the Steering Council

GitHub

This repo contains activity updates, process, and planning information for the Python Steering Council.

The canonical location for who is on the current steering council, how we are selected, and our role lives within the

PEP-13 Python Language Governance

document.

Office Hours For 2026

The Steering Council has office hours for anyone in the community that wants to discuss something with the Steering Council. Office hours are bookable half-hour video calls at the start of our regular weekly meeting every other week. Currently it’s 30 minutes on Thursdays, PST 1:00 PM (check your timezone

here

).

These meetings can be used by Core Devs, PEP authors and anyone else contributing to Python to discuss things they want to discuss with the Steering Council, when email or a GitHub ticket is for whatever reason not as desirable.

Scheduling is done through

Google Calendar

which creates an invitation via Google Calendar with a Meet link.

When booking, please make sure to do so at least 3 days in advance, and if possible include the topic in the calendar invitation so we can be prepared. You may also manage additional attendees if needed. For longer chats, different schedules (we realise the current time isn’t always good for everyone), or pressing matters, contact us directly. We can always arrange something else.
