I've received another cheque from Amazon with the last quarter's proceeds for the Python bookstore. The amount is just a bit less than $500; I'll contribute the few dollars to bring it up to $500 flat. Question: what do with the money? Right now the best candidate is to pay the Python10 conference fees for some of Jeffrey Elkner's students. I can't think of anything else to do with the money; anyone have any brilliant suggestions? --amk

Will $500 be of significant assistance? Note on cost: student fees seem to be around $250, so that's two students. Developer's Day registration is $295, so it could almost pay for their admission for that day; it's not enough to help with their hotel or flight. --amk

Ask them.

Thanks for the proposal. Surely I would like to meet you all but - financial issues aside - while nice for me, I don't think my presence would be that much constructive and Finn - who's the main mantainer and has done a whole lot - deserves more than me to eventually meet you and the users and receive their thanks. I'm not your guy and Finn don't want to fly :( Samuele.
