Python All The Things
We’re familiar with Python as a scripting language, as a web server language, as a data analysis language, and as a teaching language. But is that the limit of where Python can be used? What is the future for Python on other platforms? Is the prospect of using Python on those platforms a novelty, or a viable way to fend off an existential threat to the language? And how does this threat intersect with other threats we have to our community, and to our industry?
As seen at PyCon AU 2016.

500 Lines: A Python Interpreter Written in Python
Byterun is a Python interpreter implemented in Python. Through my work on Byterun, I was surprised and delighted to discover that the fundamental structure of the Python interpreter fits easily into the 500-line size restriction. This chapter will walk through the structure of the interpreter and give you enough context to explore it further. The goal is not to explain everything there is to know about interpreters\u2014like so many interesting areas of programming and computer science, you could devote years to developing a deep understanding of the topic.
Hello Website
Welcome to the BeeWare project's new website!
The original BeeWare website was written a couple of years ago, when BeeWare was still a highly experimental project. The old website was a single page affair, with individual projects maintaining their own web identity. Over time, the number of contributors has grown, the number of subprojects has grown, and the number of core team members has tripled.

BeeWare, tea sets, and mental health.
Tips for Becoming a Core Contributor
At PyCon US 2016, Philip James became a Core Contributor to BeeWare!
He wrote up some of his thoughts about the process in his article Tips for Becoming a Core Contributor.
Katie McLaughlin, who got her commit bit at DjangoCon Europe 2016, followed up with a post of her own, describing her path to becoming a core contributor.
For those who aspire to become contributors to open source projects, it's helpful to hear how others got there.
