User Success WG status

PSF
1

From the June 12th PSF board meeting minutes:

The PSF discussed the the creation of the User Success Working Group and voted on the following resolution:

RESOLVED that the Python Software Foundation approve the creation of the User Success Working Group to support the PSF’s mission by focusing on projects and initiatives related to User Success

Approved; 9-0-0, 2024-06-12

However, this working group still isn’t listed on the PSF Work Groups page.

I am just checking in on the status of this WG, as I am personally interested in contributing, so I would like to know when it is meant to become active, so that I can reach out.
Additionally, I also thought it would be nice to highlight it here publically, instead of asking privately, in case anyone who missed this motion is also interested in this goal :blush:

Hey @FFY00, thanks for the ping and for raising this publicly for others who might be interested.
We (the PSF board) indeed approved this new WG and @jezdez, and I still have a few actions (like adding it to the Wiki page) on our to-do list before we can officially start activities.
I will try to get these out of the way in the next couple of weeks and return here to post more details on how to get involved/participate.

Thanks for your interest :purple_heart:

Just a quick update since it came up in the PSF board office hours, we’ve created a repo for the WG and added the charter: GitHub - psf/user-success-wg: Repository for the User Success working group at the Python Software Foundation

The next step is organizing the inaugural WG meeting, which Tania or me will announce here as well. Let me know, if you have any questions until then!
