An interview with Cecília Tivir, a Mozambican AI-in-education researcher and open-source community organizer running for the 2026 PSF Board of Directors. She discusses her grassroots work co-founding PyLadies chapters in Maputo and Beira, Python Mozambique, and Wansati Lab, and outlines her platform focused on reducing bureaucratic barriers for organizers in Africa and Portuguese-speaking countries, fostering cross-border collaboration, and expanding mentorship structures. She envisions a PSF that supports regional self-sufficiency while sustaining core infrastructure like PyPI and CPython.
