Do you have a vision for improving the Python packaging experience? Do you make the tools used to build and consume Python packages? Are you passionate about building communities, consensus, and standards focused on the user experience? If these resonate with you, and you have the time to attend regular meetings and participate in the standardization process, you should consider running for the inaugural PPC\!

We're looking for candidates who can build bridges between projects and communities, who enjoy working with a very large community of passionate volunteers, and have a willingness to represent the wider community ahead of any single tool, project, or employer. We also welcome candidates who have a diverse set of skills and experiences, including open-governance experience, community stewardship, fundraising knowledge, and (of course\!) technical expertise in Python packaging and distribution.
