The document discusses the role and activities of the Python Software Foundation (PSF). The PSF promotes and protects the Python programming language. It supports the growth of an international community of Python programmers. Specifically, the PSF protects Python's intellectual property, organizes PyCon US, and funds conferences and development sprints. The goal of the PSF is to nourish the Python community, just as the giving tree in the story nourished the boy, and was happy to do so.
