Hi Marc-Andre, I'm working on this :-). I hope to have someone willing to take on the management of the kits by next week. Do you know Christian Heimes? Anna Ossowski thought he might be interested. I will reach out to him today. Cheers, Betsy On Fri, Jul 21, 2017 at 9:05 AM, M.-A.

Looking for new maintainer for PSF European Conference Kit
by M.-A. Lemburg July 21, 2017

July 21, 2017

Hello all, Together with Armin, I created the first three conference kits for the PSF to use at conferences: https://wiki.python.org/psf/PSF%20Conference%20Kit in 2012 and managed the European kit for the past five years, sending it around Europe to various conferences such as FOSDEM, EuroPython and a few regional ones: https://wiki.python.org/psf/PSF%20Conference%20Kit#A2012-2017 After five years, I'd like to pass on this role to someone else, ideally someone from Germany as well, since Germany seems to have really low parcel sending fees compared to most other European countries (outgoing usually costs EUR 30-40; sending back along the same route typically at least EUR 100). If you're interested in taking this role, please let me know and I can set things up. Thanks, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg Python Software Foundation http://www.python.org/psf/ http://www.malemburg.com/

PSF Fellow Work Group - Seeking Members
by Ewa Jodlowska July 18, 2017

July 18, 2017

Hi members, Our revised bylaws permitted us to create a PSF Fellow Work Group to collect, review, and vote on PSF Fellow Member nominations. Currently, the Work Group has 4 board directors on it. We are interested in getting 3-6 more Work Group members. Once we get a larger group, we will work on a policy for voting procedures. Once we have that in place, Work Group members will review nominations, discuss them, and vote on them. If you are interested in taking part, please send an email to psf-fellow(a)python.org introducing yourself. You must be a PSF Fellow Member to be in this Work Group. Resources: - List of Fellows is available online: https://www.python.org/psf/members/#fellows - Charter for the WG: https://wiki.python.org/psf/FellowWG/Charter - If you want to nominate someone to be a Fellow, please send your nomination to psf-fellow(a)python.org Best regards, Ewa Jodlowska Director of Operations Python Software Foundation

Announcement - PSF Board Change and Addition
by Naomi Ceder July 10, 2017

July 10, 2017

Hello PSF-Vote and PSF-Community, We have some great news to share - that we have seated one additional at-large director on the Python board, Paola Pacheco. Paola was tied with Trey Hunner in the recent election, and Trey was chosen via the official tiebreaking procedure. However, after review of the new bylaws and election results, we were able to seat one more director. This new director is Paola. Congratulations! How did this occur? Section 5.5 of the new bylaws say: "At the 2017 annual meeting of members and at each annual meeting thereafter, the voting members shall elect directors sufficient to fill eleven (11) at-large director seats." In this latest election, Van Lindberg explicitly ran on the basis that, if elected, he would fill an officer director seat. [1][2]. At the first meeting of the new board, Van was appointed an Officer director, leaving one at-large director seat open. Given the existing vote already captured the preferences of the membership, identifying Paola as the 11th at-large director was found to be consistent with the bylaws, with the vote of the membership, and was determined to not invalidate any portion of the vote under Delaware law. Best Regards, Van Lindberg, PSF General Counsel Naomi Ceder, Chair, PSF Board of Directors [1] Section 5.5.1: "The corporation shall have up to two Officer Directors selected from the Officers of the Corporation, with the initial selection of Officer Directors corresponding to the positions of Director of Operations and General Counsel, subject to a vote of the members." [2] From Van's write-up on the board candidates list at https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonSoftwareFoundation/BoardC andidates2017#id18: "Note: If elected, I expect that I will be appointed to an 'Officer Director' position." -- Naomi Ceder https://plus.google.com/u/0/111396744045017339164/about
