Hi , I noticed you link to Mozilla Firefox, which is my favorite search engine because they focus their attention on privacy. You link to them from this page on your site BTW: python.org/doc/essays/cp4e/ I think that switching from Google to Mozilla Firefox is only the first step in knowing what alternatives are available for other Google services, like Gmail, YouTube etc, I was part of the team that created this article about the best existing alternatives for Google, and I wanted to ask you if you would be willing to share it on that page of yours with your users. This way, they will know they have alternatives that are maybe smaller and less known but that try to make a living in the shadow of the internet giant called Google. https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/survive-online-without-google/ Please help out and let's support ProtonMail, Vimeo, FireFox and the rest of the alternatives. Thanks in advance, Julie

Pycon India 2018 Finance

Hi All, I wanted to give an update on finance management of Pycon India 2018. We were torn between forming a new organization vs using an existing organization for finance management. After a lot of thought and deliberation with different people within the community, we have chosen to form a new organization to manage finance for current Pycon & future as well. As part of creating the new organization, we have taken over "Section 8 non-profit Company" - "Association For Promotion Of Free Open Source Technologies" AFROST. This company doesn't have any liability or any transactions and the members were happy to transfer it. Decision to take over this entity was primarily based on time constraint b\c opening new entity would take some time. To know more about Section 8 Company - https://www.legalraasta.com/blog/need-know-section-8-company/ For this new entity, we are nominating 5 new interim Directors given below. - Ramanathan [Hyderabad] - Satyaakam [Delhi] - Chandan [Pune] - Vijay [Chennai] - Noufal [Kochi] We are forming working committee for formulating the direction & charter of this new organization. This committee will propose it's delibration & outcome to the community at the end of Pycon India conference and will be dissolved after the conference. Members of the committee are below. - All Interim Directors - Mani [Hyderabad] - Akshay Aradhya [Delhi] - Yet to Confirm [Bangalore] Responsibility of Interim Directors: - Manage funds of Pycon India 2018. - Present the recommendation by “Working Committee” in AGM. AGM will be conducted at the end of Pycon conference day. - Implement the final resolution passed at AGM. - Conduct election for new directors. Responsibility of Working committee: - Update the existing “Memorandum of Association (MOA)”, “Articles of Association (AOA)” and come up with new name. - Come up with Bylaws & Rules for adding members & term for Directors, and operations. - Come up with rules/process for Director election. I believe this new organization is the step in right direction for Python community in India. This organization should be based on trust, commitment, mutual respect for people & be social responsible. Note: Member of interim director & working committee are chosen on two factors. One based on representation from different communities and another based on experience in creating & managing organizations. Regards, __Mani Chair@PyconIndia2018
