Subject: [EuroPython] Initial list of EPS Board Candidates for 2017/2018
Message-ID: <7cc4bea3-70f8-5874-e479-34cf03d45771@europython.eu>

At this year?s General Assembly we will vote in a new board of the
EuroPython Society.


List of Board Candidates
------------------------

The EPS bylaws require one chair and 2 - 8 board members. The
following candidates have stated their willingness to work on the EPS
board. We are presenting them here (in alphabetical order).

All members of the EPS are free to nominate or self nominate board
members. Please write to board at europython-society.org no later than
Friday, July 7 2017, if you want to run for board and send a
nomination text to put on the list.

The final list of candidates will be posted just before the conference.

Initial list:

 * Christian Calogero Barra
 * Dr. Darya Chyzhyk
 * Anders Hammarquist
 * Alexander Hendorf
 * Marc-Andr? Lemburg
 * Dr. Alexandre Manhaes Savio

For the full nomination texts of the candidates, please see the blog
post:

What does the EPS Board do ?
----------------------------

The EPS board runs the day-to-day business of the EuroPython Society,
including running the EuroPython conference events. It is allowed to
enter contracts for the society and handle any issues that have not
been otherwise regulated in the bylaws or by the General
Assembly. Most business is handled by email on the board mailing list
or the board?s Telegram group, board meetings are usually run as
conference calls.

It is important to note that the EPS board is an active board,
i.e. the board members are expected to put in a significant amount of
time and effort towards the goals of the EPS and for running the
EuroPython conference. This usually means at least 100-200h work over
a period of one year, with most of this being needed in the last six
months before the conference. Many board members put in even more work
to make sure that the EuroPython conferences become a success.

Board members are generally expected to take on leadership roles
within the EuroPython Workgroups.


Enjoy,

Unfortunately, our Beginners? Day host Harry Percival cannot attend
EuroPython due to personal reasons.

We were not able to find a suitable replacement quickly enough, so
have to cancel the Beginners? Day workshop on Sunday, July 9.

We are very sorry for everyone who wanted to attend the workshop. If
we do find a replacement, we?ll let you know.

If you have some nice ideas, please don?t hesitate to contact us at
program at europython.eu. We have a 90 seat room and catering available
to host an ad-hoc replacement session instead of the workshop - we
just need to move quickly.

Our Beginners? Day host Harry Percival cannot attend EuroPython due to

managed to find trainers who are willing to help out and run the
workshop:

 * Ilian Iliev
 * Juan Manuel Santos
 * Petr Viktorin
 * Lasse Schuirmann
 * Micha? Bultrowicz

A big thanks for the quick offers of help. So once more, we?re pleased
to present the...

		     * Beginners? Day Workshop *

We will have a Beginners? Day workshop, on Sunday, July 9th, from
10:00 until 17:00, at the Palacongressi di Rimini (Via della Fiera 23,
Rimini), the same location as the main conference.

The session will be presented in English (although a few of the
coaches do speak other languages as well).

Please bring your laptop, as a large part of the day will be devoted
to learning Python on your own PC.

Day workshop page on our website:

Message-ID: <CAJE1vBvASWD2vTTsQYw9iEhJeXKZRU1Lx7iuxQUUdQZMu21F7Q@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,
I would like to ask if you can recommend me the 3 best talks (about 30
minutes long) that took place on Europython. We launched the Python cinema
project, in which we screen the best presentations from the conferences for
the Czech republic Python community and students.

Thanks for your answer.
