Session
COVID-19 has impacted PyCon MY greatly in terms of the size of the community and funding. The effect has prompted the core members to look into a more sustainable way for the survival of the community.
Here are the 4 pillars for sustainability:
1. Number of community members
2. Fundings
3. Leaderships
4. Collaborations with other communities, government agencies and industries.
In the talk, I will share the reasons we look into the above pillars, what plan we have, and the progress.
