The PythonAsia Online Charity Talk H2 (Second Half Of The Year) 2025 is the next installment of our biannual virtual charity event series. Following the success of the H1 edition held on July 26, 2025, we continue our mission to raise funds for open-source development and Python education initiatives across East and Southeast Asia.
Organized by the Python Asia Organization (PAO), this event brings together leading contributors, community builders, and technical experts to share insights on Python development, performance, tooling, and emerging innovations. All proceeds from the event will directly support regional programs that improve access to Python education in underserved communities.
Event Objectives
- Raise €8,000 to support Python education, open-source contribution programs, and community activities across Asia
- Highlight innovations in Python performance, backend systems, LLMs, concurrency, and modern development practices
- Showcase the work of respected contributors and leaders in the Python ecosystem
- Strengthen cross-border collaboration within the Asian Python community
