That is exactly why Susan and Francis insist on starting
now.  As a minimum we should make sure there are regular
(maybe every 2 weeks) postings to c.l.p, the Europython
list etc.  And we can hopefully contact all the people
who attended EuroPython.  I think the ACCU will handle
formal press release distribution provided we get them 
good-quality content early enough in the process.

I suggest seeing who else volunteers by mid afternoon, declare
ourselves the "committee" (others can join later), and 
then I will do a basic announcement on Monday morning on 
comp.lang.python to say it is happening and that a call for 
papers will appear shortly.  After that the committee should
meet or at least mail each other frantically, and figure out
how it should be structured.

Thanks,

Andy
