Thursday, July 21, 14:00, Room A2 Both sessions are open to all EuroPython attendees. If you’d like to help us with the organization, please attend the EuroPython 2017 session. You can also become a member of the EPS and then vote at the General Assembly. Python Software Foundation Session ---------------------------------- The Python Software Foundation (PSF) is the organization behind Python itself. It holds the IP rights, runs PyCon US and tries to help the Python community world-wide to run events, user groups, workshops or Python related programming projects by giving out grants. This year, we’re again having a PSF Members meeting at EuroPython, where the PSF reports on its activities, new plans and organizational changes. * PSF Members Meeting Wednesday, July 20, 15:45, Room A2 The meeting is open to everyone, so if you want to learn more about the PSF activities, please join in.
