Timeline: Migrate content
- There might be missing HTML that was stripped by `markdownify` - Slugs were converted from kebab-casing titles and editorizing to make everything shorter (thanks to oil.nvim) - I should've just used Python and arrow (for the dates), but before I realized arrow existed Nushell had the best built-in support. - Markdown is wrapped at 80

**Joe Banks** becomes one of the owners around 3 days after it is created, and

**Leon Sandøy** (lemon) joins the owner team later in the year, when the

community has around 300 members.

Our main source of new users at this point is a post on Reddit that happens to
9+
get very good SEO. We are one of the top 10 search engine hits for the search
10+
term "python discord".

The public moderation bot we're using at the time, Rowboat, announces it will be
9+
shutting down. We decide that we'll write our own bot to handle moderation, so
10+
that we can have more control over its features. We also buy a domain and start
11+
making a website in Flask.

Our very first Code Jam attracts a handful of users who work in random teams of
9+
2. We ask our participants to write a snake-themed Discord bot. Most of the code
10+
written for this jam still lives on in Sir Lancebot, and you can play with it by
11+
using the `.snakes` command. For more information on this event, see [the event
12+

Since data privacy is quite important to us, we create a privacy page pretty
9+
much as soon as our new bot and site starts collecting some data. To this day,
10+
we keep [our privacy policy](https://pythondiscord.com/pages/privacy/) up to
11+
date with all changes, and since April 2020 we've started doing [monthly data
12+
reviews](https://pythondiscord.notion.site/6784e3a9752444e89d19e65fd4510d8d).

At this point in time, there are only two serious Python communities on Discord
9+
- Ours, and one called Do You Even Python. We approach the owners of DYEP with a
10+
bold proposal - let's shut down their community, replace it with links to ours,
11+
and in return we will let their staff join our staff. This gives us a big boost
12+
in members, and eventually leads to @eivl and @Mr. Hemlock joining our Admin
13+
team

As we continue to grow, we approach the r/Python subreddit and ask to become
9+
their official Discord community. They agree, and we become listed in their
10+
sidebar, giving us yet another source of new members.

approved. The recent partnership with the r/Python subreddit plays a significant
10+
role in qualifying us for this partnership.

We create a second bot for our community and fill it up with simple, fun and
9+
relatively easy issues. The idea is to create an approachable arena for our
10+
members to cut their open-source teeth on, and to provide lots of help and hand-
11+
holding for those who get stuck. We're training our members to be productive
12+
contributors in the open-source ecosystem.
