Hi All,<br><br>I'm one member of the Pycon Italy organization team. It's been a while since I've been discussing about european integration of local national python organization and few days ago i've read this post ( <a href="http://faassen.n--tree.net/blog/view/weblog/2008/04/12/0">http://faassen.n--tree.net/blog/view/weblog/2008/04/12/0</a> ).The great thing about this post is that it tryies to focus a big problem ( not only ): how to improve europython and how to manage with local conferences (bad?) influence.<br>
<br> Thus, i've talked with Laura about it and exposed her my opinion: Why can't local teams and europython work together? Why not having local teams of motivated people that work for their conference and also for europython? They should have the right ambitious purpose, some experience organizing social event and.. they (should ;) ) love python! So.. my idea is to have Europython national team ( or representatives or whatever you want to call them ) that work inside their community ( and their conference )help to let people know about EP, about how it works, about how to get there ( maybe with other national pythonistas ), about anything you want...<br>
<br> I, by myself, propose myself to run this ( with any other Python Italy that believes it's a good idea ;) ) for Italy and also to propose myself as regional-groups-coordinator, as Laura suggested. I hope this will be a good initiative for both Europython and local teams. If someone have any opinion or want to offer their help as local helpers feel free to give a shout! ;)<br>
