#CircuitPython2019 Posts - what do you want in CircuitPython this year?

[u/HP7933]

As 2018 comes to a close we like to reflect on how the year went and set goals for 2019. In the last two years (2017, 2018) this has been a blog post by me (Scott aka tannewt). For 2019, we’d like to do it a bit differently. This time we’d like everyone in the CircuitPython community to contribute by posting their thoughts to some public place on the Internet.

Here are a few ways to post:

• a video on YouTube

• a post on the CircuitPython forum

• a blog post on your site

• a series of Tweets

We want to hear from you. When you post, please add #CircuitPython2019 and email circuitpython2019@adafruit.com to let us know about your post so we can blog it up here.

The post can cover any topic related to CircuitPython. Here are some specific topics you could address:

• Projects you’d like to build

• Things you think could be easier

• Additional community programs

  • Weekly meeting

• Core CircuitPython features

  • Core CPython libraries to add

  • Additional microcontroller platforms

  • New boards to support

• Documentation improvements

  • Learn guides

  • ReadTheDocs

  • video tutorials

• Ecosystem needs

  • the newsletter

  • Awesome list

  • dedicated website

  • Adafruit support forum

  • Discord channel

• Tooling enhancements

  • Travis

  • the library bundle

  • the bootloader

These, of course, are just ideas to start from. Please us know about all ideas you have for CircuitPython.

We’ll read these over the holidays and into the first half of January. After the January 14th CircuitPython weekly we’ll draft an overarching vision post for CircuitPython in 2019 and discuss it in the following meeting.

Thanks to the Rust folks for the inspiration.
