At !PyCon 2008 we were delighted to share some good news with the Python community: the announcement of the [wiki:TwistedSoftwareFoundation]. Glyph had previously emailed the Twisted mail list, letting those close to the project know of this major event shortly after the paperwork was signed. Before we brought this before a more public audience, we wanted to give companies a chance to become "founding sponsors" -- and this is what has happened at !PyCon. We're looking forward to issuing a formal press release about this (including info on the founding sponsors) and will have more details in the near future.
We would like to send a special thank-you out to those sponsors who made contributions immediately. In order of contribution, they are:
* Chris Armstrong * Michel Pelletier * !AdytumSolutions, Inc. * tummy.com * Drew Perttula * Glenn Tarbox * Ilya Novoselov
Read the initial announcement here. If the video for the announcement made at !PyCon gets published somewhere, we will post an update.
Yesterday, Duncan had the chance to talk with Jack Moffitt and Christopher Zorn of Chesspark about their company, their vision, and how Twisted played an integral role in their application and helped them to meet their goals.
The interview is on the site and the feed is available here.
We're still experimenting with podcasting and feed enclosures, so please be patient with us! If you have any issues, the media files are available at archive.org.
TM Labs has a new blog! We will be posting various items of interest that relate to development of Twisted, useful community information, and enthralling news events. Add us to your reader!
[wiki:TheTwistedShow] is a new experiment we are trying at TM Labs in an effort to let people and business who are solving unique and/or interesting problems with Twisted share their solutions with a wide audience.
This first installment is an interview with a few folks at Renkoo who are using Twisted to innovate meetings as part of the social media landscape.

In Twisted's first virtual sprint the weekend of 2005-10-08, many people contributed to Twisted in general and helped get the Twisted 2.1.0 release out. See the Twisted project page and read about what's new.
A Twisted Sprint will be held in Sydney Australia on the 19-21 August 2005. Topics will probably include documentation, a VFS layer (including WebDAV support), the new Axiom database, and whatever else anyone can think of. For more information, please see the Australian Twisted Sprint Wiki.
Thanks to Linux Australia for funding this sprint.
Twisted 2.0.1 is now out. This is a minor release, only including bugfixes since 2.0.0. One of the most important fixes was a bug causing many gtk GUI apps to crash. Twisted News is now properly included in the Sumo release. Enjoy.
