Hi!
The PSF will host three member meetings during PyCon US 2021. Sign up for
the time that works best for you:
https://www.meetup.com/python-software-foundation-meetup-group/events/.
We will stream them via YouTube and they will be recorded. We will discuss
PSF finances, PSF program updates, and address any questions you may have,
especially pertaining to the elections.

We're happy to announce the EuroPython 2021 Call for Proposals (CFP) and
are accepting proposals for talks, training sessions, workshops, panels,
poster sessions, helpdesks and other interactive sessions at EuroPython
2021.
* EuroPython 2021 Call for Proposals (CFP) *
https://ep2021.europython.eu/events/call-for-proposals/
We will leave the CFP open from today until
Sunday, May 9, 23:59:59 CEST.
To submit a proposal, please log in to the site (or create an account
first) and then proceed to the CFP page:
Topics
------
We're looking for proposals on all aspects of Python from novice to
advanced level, including but not limited to: applications, frameworks,
Data Science, internals or topics which you're excited about, your
experiences with Python and its ecosystem and creative or artistic
things you've done with Python.
EuroPython is a community conference and we're eager to hear about how
you use Python in your professional and personal activities.
Feedback has shown that attendees are interested in advanced topics, we
would like to encourage more submissions with an advanced level scope
for EuroPython 2021. Please also note that we have added back training
and workshop submissions. We had to remove those last year due to lack
of resources.
Speaker Mentoring Program
-------------------------
This year we are running a mentoring program to encourage more first
time speakers to submit proposals, as well as provide training on
delivering talks effectively. We are also looking for more mentors to
help with the program.
Please check the CFP page for details on the mentoring program.
