I agree with Jim's points.
Hello, Comms WG:
I have not been a part of developing this message, so my apologies if I am speaking without enough knowledge or context. But I am a software developer who uses Python a lot. (I just finished looking up the documentation of a Python statistics library, I use Python that much.)
I observe that the banner image is colourful and attention-getting, but the code in the image is not in the Python language. It looks like Javascript. I suspect that this discrepancy might undermine our credibility with Python developers a bit. It advertises that we don't know much about Python. Maybe it will make our readers a little skeptical also about our advice at the link destination. A possible improvement is to replace this banner image with one featuring Python language code, with Python-specific syntax colouring.
Another suggestion is for the short link. Services like bit.ly are easy to use, but they are also not completely trustworthy. It is not possible to see the URL, or even the domain name, at which you will actually arrive, before you click the link. An alternative is to build a shortlink service at uasg.tech, and populate it with meaningful UA-specific short names. For instance, you could use a shortlink like https://go.usasg.tech/u033 . The service could redirect to https://uasg.tech/download/uasg-033-ua-readiness-of-open-source-code-pilot-en/ .
I use a private shortlink service on my own website. Here is a shortlink I created a couple of months ago: http://go.jdlh.com/iuc45s8t2 . The abbreviation was recognisable to my audience as "45th IUC conference, session 8, track 2". Try it! I get a warm glow in my heart when I see my click counts rise above zero. :-)
I hope these suggestions are helpful, and not too distracting.
Best regards,
—Jim DeLaHunt, software engineer, Vancouver, Canada

Hi,https://bit.ly this domain is blocked from Bangladesh. So If you launch this campaign with this shortened URL, All Bangladeshi peoples can not see the post.
Could you change with another shortened URL domain?
Thanks,
