We've run out of Heroku credits (we were given enough for 3 years), and apparently they are re-evaluating their sponsorship model. So in the mean time, we have to pay ~$15/month. The PSF is in a similar situation (not sure what they use Heroku for but they use to sponsor the PSF and now it's on hold). It'd be pretty cumbersome to move folks from this platform to another that could potentially sponsor us, but I'd rather wait and see for a bit before doing anything drastic.
-
Lynn has requested more credits but they would like us to pay. Lynn is currently paying and being reimbursed from the PyLadies account.

Saw the comment about bevy and contract. From my perspective, seems fair to have a contract. Is there something specific in the contract itself that is problematic? Is this something we should discuss with the PSF?
@Mariatta - We're not at a contract stage with Bevy (yet). They were going to meet with the PSF, since they were previously discussing possibly powering PyCon and other conferences and activities, and then circle back with PyLadies around possibly powering community sites/ events pages.
Hi, everyone! Why is the election on hold? I remember by this time last year we were working on the election documents, the process was voted and decided together with the communities (https://github.com/pyladies/global-organizing/issues/32) and I'd like to know how things are going to proceed, since some terms (the ones with 1 year commitment) finish now
It would only be for appointed seats as elected seats are a multi year appointment. As I can tell from reading the issues it sounds like this may be due to the group having just started and wanting more time to continue to work?
Thanks @lorenanicole 😊 ! @deboraazevedo yes, it's only on hold for the appointed seats. It has been a difficult year due to the pandemic and as a team we have agreed that it would be best to lay a solid foundation before we can introduce new members. If you would like to have a chat about this, please get in touch. Thanks !
