summary

A concrete origin story: a November 1994 NIST workshop with 20 people seeds a community that builds a rudimentary web browser in Python with Tk and prototypes like the handle system and numeric; governance and licensing decisions at CNRI lead to a core team moving to a startup that BeOpen folded and trigger a license 1.6.1 patch; grassroots organizing spins PyCon and regional conferences and women speakers rise to ~37%, showing measurable cultural and technical growth.
