Lemburg * Anthon van der Neut * Alexandre Manhaes Savio We also voted to broaden the scope of the EPS to support Python and its community in Europe in general and no longer limit ourselves to running conferences, initiate the move of the EPS to a different EU country and amend the bylaws to remove the GA agenda point to vote on the board size. We are looking forward on an exciting year for the EPS and EuroPython.

The CFI finished with exciting new locations and on-site teams willing to make EuroPython 2017 possible. The CFI proposals we received were for: * Milan or Como Lake, Italy, from the Python Italia Society (APS), * Brno, the Czech Republic, from the local Brno Python community, and * Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain, from the Python San Sebasti?n Society (ACPySS). We are now reviewing the proposals and will then move forward with the more formal and detailed CFP later in September.

Can the EPS think to raise a statement how ?Europe? is defined for our continent and islands community in a clear way and seperated from the definitions of ?European Union? driving the press currently. Maybe someone finds it obsolete (and already in the bylaws, but for me it could be a statement for diversity in our community keeping things together that others may split in other sectors. So we need also reword the usage of EU here (in my opinion). ?

Good point. We understand "Europe" in geographical terms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe but for the EPS as organization are bound to countries within the "EU": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union The latter is mostly driven by tax and legal considerations. Doing business across country boundaries is difficult, but if we stay within the EU it's at least manageable, e.g. we can make use of reverse charging VAT where possible or get back VAT paid in other other countries with reasonable effort. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg EuroPython Society Chair http://www.europython-society.org/ http://www.malemburg.com/
