<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I am also interested in joining the new Python BE project.

Drinks (because Ludo's Afpyros were great at the time), ideally in alternance with the workshops</div><div>- 3. Talks every few months</div><div>- 4. PyCon.be in addition to Python-FOSDEM, either in conjunction or ~6 months apart</div><div>- 5.

<div>Hello<br>
<br>
Given the dormant nature of the Python-belgium mailinglists (on
average the past 5 years),<br>
this discussion "Let's organize EuroPython" is always surprising
to see.<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>I don't have the feeling anyone is pushing for organizing EuroPython in this thread or on the mailing list. This thread is about getting a basic structure in place that would allow us to start doing something. My personal main interest is/was giving a little bit of money to a legal entity related to python BE. Others mentioned conferences but without any specific details.</div><span class=""><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><div>
Given that the resources are nearly non-existant for a huge task
like this, <br>
given the very limited number of Belgian attendees to past
EuroPython-conferences,<br>
who really thinks this a good idea?<br>
<br>
Aren't we trying to run a marathon before learning to walk?<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>I have no specific opinions on this. I'm mostly working abroad but excited and happy every time I see some movements on the Python BE front. I won't be able to commit serious time to such kind of organization but will provide financial support if needed.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>-- Didrik</div></font></span></div>
