I work for a European Science agency involved in Bioinformatics. I use Python for any programming projects I am given and a keen Pythonista as a hobbyist as well as a professional. I am learning django, which is a great add on in it's own right, cheers, matt ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2015 10:40:37 -0700 From: Kirk Strauser <kirk@strauser.com> To: PSF-Community@python.org Subject: Re: [PSF-Community] Introductions Message-ID: <539E5DF3-F158-4BB9-87CC-4F445088111F@strauser.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hello, gang! I?m Kirk Strauser from San Francisco. I?ve been using Python since 1999 or so, currently with a cozy startup. I also mentor its use among teens in Hacker Scouts^W^WCuriosity Hacked to help hatch the next generation of Pythonistas. I?ve missed the last couple of PyCons, but I will be in Portland if I have to hitchhike. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Feels like a great D?j?-vu. :-P Cheers - Chris On 21/09/15 19:24, Doug Hellmann wrote:On Sep 21, 2015, at 12:36 PM, C.

I fail to see how introductions from every Python user around the world fit into this.

Please also don't subscribe me to a high-volume mailing-list where people introduce themselves.Hi all, I wanted to speak to this point about directly being subscribed -- I received an invitation to join the mailing list, and I confirmed. I was not subscribed automatically. So I think the admins did not do anything underhanded or inappropriate, unless they directly subscribed people other than me. (If this did happen, the admins should apologize and do better next time.) Also, Ewa Jodlowska (Director of Operations for PSF) invited introductions on September 19th, in response to Manuel Kaufmann. I think engaging directly with Ewa or the list moderators to express disapproval would be less intrusive then sending e-mails to the entire list. Personally, I agree with Yarko and Van about being welcoming and either digesting or unsubscribing if you can't handle the list volume. cheers, ?titus+1 ? it?s great to see a PSF mailing list full of nice messages DougOn Mon, Sep 21, 2015 at 4:11 PM, R??mi Rampin <remirampin@gmail.com> wrote:2015-09-21 11:03 EDT, Justin Myles Holmes <twotonespirit@gmail.com>:I'm enjoying reading them. Is it so much of an inconvenience?It is. I was surprised to get subscribed to this mailing-list (I didn't request it), but was ok with it if it was to be filled with interesting content relating to Python communities. The first few emails I got (conferences, calls for speakers) were fine, but these "presentations" are really pointless and nothing but spam (at least Manuel put some content into it; I fail to see why anyone would enjoy reading "my name is X I'm from Ycountry and use Python"). I have nothing against this kind of email, but I really think their must be a better place for them. Or did I misunderstand the purpose of this list? The purpose of the psf-community mailing list is to provide an environmentwhere pythonistas can communicate with a large audience, share experiences, launch projects, and/or discuss their Python & OSS interests. This community mailing list will have public archives, accessible to everyone.[...] Keep in mind that a large audience will see your posts. This may includeyour current or future employers. Take care in what you write. Remember, this mailing list is publicly archived, and that your words will be stored publicly for a very long time.The mailing-list's description does mention that it is an archived, "large audience" list for projects, experiences and OSS. I fail to see how introductions from every Python user around the world fit into this. But I don't have anything against a separate, high-volume mailing-list were these would take place (so long as no one subscribes me to it).
