<p>Conservancy is home to many popular <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/projects/current/" title="Current Member Projects of the Software Freedom Conservancy">free and open source software projects</a>, like <a href="http://www.seleniumhq.org/" title="Selenium">Selenium</a>, <a href="https://www.phpmyadmin.net/" title="phpMyAdmin">phpMyAdmin</a>, <a href="https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/" title="Twisted">Twisted</a>, and <a href="https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/" title="Outreachy">Outreachy</a>, some of which run their own events. North Bay Python has the distinct honor of being the first member project that is exclusively focused on organizing community events.</p>
 

	
 
<p>We couldn't be more excited. We're celebrating by donating five free tickets to Outreachy interns and will be promoting member projects relevant to the Python community at the conference. Interested Outreachy interns should <a href="mailto:outreach@northbaypython.org" title="outreach@northbaypython.org">contact us</a>. We'll also have discounted tickets available for active financial supporters of Software Freedom Conservancy.</p>
