Welcome
to The Python Papers. This journal, small though it is, represents the
careful efforts of a small group of Python enthusiasts who are keen to
form a better community in which developers may work.
As Editor-In-Chief, my role is manifold, but my goals are to improve
the level of connectedness of Python developers, and in so doing
improve my own developer experience.
The entire editorial board has put time into making this publication
something which will hopefully lead to a buildup of momentum, fuelled
by the enthusiastic involvement of others who find Python as exciting
as we do.
The current issue contains one academic, peer-reviewed article, one
industry article, and a list of events coming up in Melbourne,
Australia. We would like to expand this list significantly. We offer
our services in organising, collating and reviewing submitted content
such that Python developers around the world may participate in the
creation of something bigger than all of us, for the benefit of all of
us. It may be a small journal, a little thing really, but all are
welcome, and we look forward to getting to know our readers through the
written word.
Please download the first edition, and consider both what it is and what it might be.
For those of you looking to publish an academic paper as a part of
coursework or for interest's sake alone, we can offer a formal review
process which will meet those guidelines while preserving the goals of
freedom of information and community spirit.
Those who are using Python in their work may like to consider using
the journal as a means of expressing successes or frustrations with
either the language itself or specific applications. We may be able to
offer code reviews and style guides, and would be happy to hear about
and help propagate news of what is happening so that everyone can take
an interest.
For those who would like a reliable source of information, The
Python Papers presents a unique and current view into the state of
Python at large.
To all of you, welcome!
Cheers,
-Tennessee (Editor-In-Chief)
