As Pablo released Python 3.11.0 final earlier today, now it’s my turn to release Python 3.12.0 alpha 1.
This is an early developer preview of Python 3.12
Python 3.12 is still in development. This release, 3.12.0a1, is the first of seven planned alpha releases.
Alpha releases are intended to make it easier to test the current state of new features and bug fixes and to test the release process.
During the alpha phase, features may be added up until the start of the beta phase (2023-05-08) and, if necessary, may be modified or deleted up until the release candidate phase (2023-07-31). Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is not recommended for production environments.
Many new features for Python 3.12 are still being planned and written. Among the new major new features and changes so far:
The next pre-release of Python 3.12 will be 3.12.0a2, currently scheduled for 2022-11-14.
This is Not the Poem that I Had Hoped to Write
This is not the poem that I had hoped to write
when I sat at my desk and the page was white.
You see, there were other words that I’d had in mind,
yet this is what I leave behind.
I thought it was a poem to eradicate war;
one of such power, it would heal all the sores
of a world torn apart by conflict and schism.
But it isn’t.
Lovers, I’d imagined, would quote from it daily,
Mothers would sing it to soothe crying babies.
And whole generations would be given new hope.
Nope.
I had grand aspirations. Believe me, I tried.
Humanity examined with lessons applied.
But the right words escaped me; so often they do.
Have these in lieu.

The Drupal Association would like to congratulate our newest At-Large board member:

When accepting her position, Nikki shared: “I am so grateful and feel truly honored for the opportunity to serve as your At-Large Board Member, and I pledge to bring all of my skills and talents to the role. For the next two years I’ll plan to work closely with the other board members, the association staff, the community, and all of you to make as many incremental improvements as possible. Part of the reason why I submitted my nomination is to make sure that people know that even without tremendous prior Drupal experience, it is still possible to make a measurable difference. I encourage you to help me and help our community — and the code that helps all of our projects move forward — by getting involved at www.drupal.org/community. You belong to the Drupal community.”
Nikki is currently a Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM) and technical project manager and co-owner at Lullabot, a strategy, design, and development agency supporting redevelopment/new rollouts for Fortune 500 brands, government agencies, higher education, publishers, and enterprise technology companies.
She loves the web and learned to code in 1999. Since 2004, she has worked on 200+ websites implementing Drupal for clients and employers, most recently IBM, New Relic, Green America, the GIST Network for the U.S. Department of State, and Changemakers for Ashoka: Innovators for the Public. She’s been using Drupal since 2008, working with agile methods since 2014, and received the CSM certification in 2020. She likes to think that we all, as makers and creators, are able to use technology to solve problems, connect communities, and build more effective change-making teams.
She is honored to be the recipient of the 2018 and 2019 NTENny Award and the 2021 Hack for Good award. She keynoted the first annual Drupal Diversity Camp and helped organize the 2022 Non-profit Industry Summit at DrupalCon.
