Hello, Pythonistas! 🐍 Welcome back to our cosy corner of community & code!
It's absolutely fantastic to have you here again, especially as we countdown the days until our reunion in Prague! 🎉 Quite a few things have happened since our last catch-up so let’s dive right into it!
📣 Programme
We're super excited to announce Savannah Ostrowski as a keynote speaker for EuroPython 2025! 🐍✨
Savannah Ostrowski is a Python Core Developer and a product lead for Python Developer Experience and Notebooks at Snowflake. She helps maintain the argparse module in the Python standard library and the new JIT compiler introduced in Python 3.13. A self-taught developer with a background in geospatial computing, she has built a career at the intersection of developer tools and open-source software.
Before Snowflake, Savannah led a product for Docker’s runtime, working on foundational technology for the container ecosystem, including Docker Engine (moby/moby) and Docker CLI. She previously worked at Microsoft on the Azure Developer CLI and was the product manager for the Pylance language server.
If you've seen any of her previous talks, you know she's a fantastic speaker with practical insights to share and if you haven't checked out her presentations yet, you're in for a treat!
Join us at EuroPython 2025 to hear Savannah's unique insights and vision for Python's future. It's a session you won't want to miss!

📊 EuroPython Society Board Report
The EuroPython conference wouldn’t be what it is without the incredible volunteers who make it all happen. 💞 Behind the scenes, there’s also the EuroPython Society—a volunteer-led non-profit that manages the fiscal and legal aspects of running the conference, oversees its organization, and works on a few smaller projects like the grants programme. To keep everyone in the loop and promote transparency, the Board is sharing regular updates on what we’re working on.
The February board report is ready: https://www.europython-society.org/board-report-for-february/.
