Come chat with workgroup members from all over the world!Doing diversity and inclusion work in tech can feel isolating sometimes. You might be organizing a meetup, writing a code of conduct, trying to get funding for your community, or helping people feel welcome, often in your spare time, and wondering if anyone else is wrestling with the same things.They are. We are! And we would love to get all of us in the same room.This July, the PSF DI Workgroup will be hosting monthly office hours within Discord. These will be open, text-based conversations where we encourage you to ask questions, share what you are working on, and connect with other people who care about making the Python community more welcoming.The detailsThe PSF DI Office Hours will be on the last Tuesday of every month. Because our community is spread across the globe, we will alternate between two times so we can cover as many time zones as possible:1 PM UTC / 9 AM US Eastern9 PM UTC / 5 PM US EasternOur first session will be on Tuesday, 28 July 2026 at 1 PM UTC.

If you’re new to Discord, check out some Discord Basics to help you get started. What will we talk aboutHonestly? Whatever is on your mind related to Python, your communities, and DI.Since our workgroup exists to advise the PSF on diversity and inclusion, some conversations we are especially hoping to have include:Ideas for policies, initiatives, and grant proposals to diversify the PSF missions. Feedback from the community about these topics will help the PSF DI Workgroup provide recommendations to the PSF Board of Directors.Your feedback, plain and simple. We want to understand how the PSF can better serve and grow a diverse membership, and we cannot do that without hearing from the community itself.How things are actually going. Part of our job is measuring and sharing the PSF’s progress on its diversity initiatives, and we would rather do that in conversation with you than in a report nobody reads. We also want to understand and learn about the current state of Python communities around the world.No camera, no mic, no pressureOffice hours are text chat only.Show up in your pajamas, join from the bus, lurk quietly for the first twenty minutes. It is all fine.And if you cannot make it at all, the conversation stays in the channel, so you can catch up later when it suits you. If something in the chat sparks a thought you would like to share with us directly, you are always welcome to email the workgroup at diversity-inclusion-wg@python.org.Bring your own languageBecause we are the DI Workgroup, our members come from around the world! Alongside the main conversation, we will open threads in other languages where possible. Depending on the presence of our members, we would be happy to chat in Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, French or even Persian! Let us know during the office hour if you have a specific language you hope to converse in, or jump in with whichever language thread feels like home.See you on the 28th!The first office hour session is on Tuesday, 28 July 2026 at 1 PM UTC, in psf-diversity on Discord.Come say hi, even if it is just to tell us what you are working on with Python. We are really looking forward to meeting you!
