Yes, I would very much like Paul to chip in and give his opinion, as he
might now be thinking that the "One paid person is enough for Zope Europe"
idea may be difficult to achieve. I think that a lot of the marketing
material needed for Zope is valuable for Python and the other way around
is true. I would love to see coopperation in this domain.

Please note that I am not advocating "everyone rallies to the PBF and we
are done". Having several different organisations (PBF, EuroZope, Zope Europe,
etc.) spring up proves that :

* an actual need is felt for such things

* the time has come

* the community is big enough

* there are a enough people willing to push things forward that way

Now some say "start local", like Python-UK or EuroZope and others try
to "start global", like PBF, Zope Europe and EuroPython. Others are doing
very valuable work on their own too, see pythonology.org for example.

My question is: how do we get the most out of this positive situation?
