Where should CircuitPython go in 2021? #CircuitPython2021 @circuitpython

As 2021 starts, let’s take some time to share our goals for CircuitPython in 2021. Just like past years (full summary 2019 and 2020), 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
• a Gist on GitHub

We want to hear from you. When you post, please add #CircuitPython2021 and email circuitpython2021@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
• Library improvements
  • Blinka
  • Additional libraries
  • Package management
• Documentation improvements
  • Learn guides
  • ReadTheDocs
  • video tutorials
• Ecosystem needs
  • the newsletter
  • Awesome list
  • circuitpython.org
  • Adafruit support forum
  • Discord channel
• Tooling enhancements
  • Github Actions
  • 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, as a community, can use these ideas to coordinate and collaborate to make CircuitPython even better in 2021. Let’s use these ideas to spark further discussion and brainstorming. Keep an eye on the blog here and join the discussion on the Adafruit Discord.

Thanks to the Rust folks for the inspiration.
