Did you call me Stephan ?
- I posted three times on this list from the beginning ; that's your
first mail.

- This last Friday, I discussed with St=E9phane Fermigier, Joachim (our
EuroZope President) and Tom (of course) after Paul Everitt's visit in
Paris. We were back home on the saturday at 7:00 AM and Paul's picture
was online at 8:00 AM.=20
I confess, after this minitrip, I had a few hours rest.
- I set up a improvised Belgian Python-Zope meeting on 12/22 as a=20
starting point (I need some local help too). This won't be a real
conference, but a familly-like meeting because I can't invest much
more time for the moment.
(you're welcome : see http://www.os3b.org/projects/zobcon there is an
english version)
- P3B is a local Python group. It's a brand new non-commercial belgian
association, officially and legaly aiming at Python glory. It could
be the legal entity organizing this meeting ; I think we'll be asked
for such an entity.
For the financial matters, this association has a bank account and it
could be quite explicit with the money transactions on this account,
since it has nothing to hide.
Its site (http://www.p3b.org) may be shared with EuroPython while we
have nothing better. We're working on a new version ; you may have a
sneak preview at http://www.carolo.net:9180/, but it's in pre-alfa
stage.
- I've seen some of our city politicals last week. They show really good
will in helping us (of course, they hope being "enlighted" by the
event). Now, we'll need to present a real solid project and ask for
precise help. One of the first questions is "When ?" we need the
building.
You wrote we need good communication, and you're perfectly right. We
should meet as often as possible : lists are a good thing, but a face to
face is still better.
St=E9phane and Martijn-Kit have promised to join our Belgian Xmas meeting.
We should insist to have a "light" meeting at the Amsterdam LinuxExpo
too. I think we all agree here : _light_ meetings with one big
EuroPython annual event, but every occasion to meet is a good thing.
I propose you (Stephan) do like me and propose some support to rent the
room in A'dam. ;-)
Now, let's decide on the right time and the program.
Always-ready-to-answer-your-requests'ly y'rs.
