The list will more than likely be pretty clear once we have a specific set of questions from a lawyer and a first meeting with the people who want to be part of founding the asbl/vzw.

Given that the resources are nearly non-existant for a huge task like this, given the very limited number of Belgian attendees to past EuroPython-conferences, who really thinks this a good idea? Aren't we trying to run a marathon before learning to walk?

We had the PyBug, but the project is just dead, sorry for Jonas, but pybug.be is available and Jonas does not answer when we try to contact him. About AFPy-Ro, the project of Ludovic (based on the AFPyRo in France), we have discussed together and Ludovic will close the mailing list of the AFPyRo, and will move the subscribers to belgium at python.org. >this discussion "Let's organize EuroPython" is always surprising to >see.

Yes, we have to walk before trying a marathon, I do agree with you, but I have the experience with PythonFOSDEM (400 people during one day), ok, it's not an independent event (because we have FOSDEM with us) but it's an event with sponsors, speakers, goodies, web site, etc... and I think we can organise the same thing with the workgroups of EuroPython. In fact, in EuroPython, there are 11 workgroups * Web * Financial Aid * Program * Administrative * Communication (Blog, etc...) * Support * Code of Conduct * etc... And there is a special workgroup, the on-site team. The on-site team has to find the good location for the events and contact the hotels and the catering etc... For the rest, for the budget, we have to provide a call for proposal to the EuroPython board, with all the details about the pricing for the conference center, the wifi, the catering, etc... In fact, we have to compute an approximative budget for the entire event. So, in this case, we can organise EuroPython 2019 and 2020, because the call for proposals of EuroPython 2017 (and maybe 2018) is finished. Have you some questions ?

In fact, time, financial support and beer support ;-) But sincerely, I need your help. In the near future, I am going to propose a volunteer survey for pycon.be and several Python meetups in Belgium.

EuroPython, EarthPython, and MilkywayPython EuroPython ;-) In fact, you know, we have already discussed about these points ;-) and it's my vision. But I think we have an other issue, we don't want to create a group of a city, but of a country and in this case, we have to organise some events in each big city, For example, for the talks, workshops: We need to organise the events in these cities: Brussels, Charleroi, Antwerpen, Hasselt, Arlon, Namur, Liege, Mons, etc... because without that, we can't reach everybody. For example, from Charleroi, I can go to Mons, Namur, Brussels and why not to Liege, but Antwerpen is really far away from Charleroi. In function of the targeted city and the hour of the meetup, I can try to take my car and travel to the location of the conference/talks, but maybe it's not the case of each of us.
