PyCon is a bit distracting and I missed the initial message and have been asleep for the rest. The duplicate email address problem is definitely my fault. I copied the emails into a file and then ran `uniq` forgetting that the file should have been sorted first. (i.e., that `sort -u` would have been the right solution) We also mentioned shortly after the election started that we were using more than one ballot on this mailing list. I'm sorry for the confusion. Consider this something else we'll improve on next year. Cheers, Ia On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 1:36 AM, Massimo DiPierro wrote: > I see? I was not aware of this.

Yes this is not an ideal way of using eVote, but it is the current solution we have chosen. Mark and I may work on making eVote handle randomization in the future, but I frankly doubt that will be fruitful given that the ballot is one large template and I'm unconvinced eVote could be modified in simple enough way to make the ballots random.

I understand the reasons. I was not the only confused and I am happy everything has been clarified. It is also great that despite everything it was possible to independently recount the election which confirms the process is working transparently.

Message-ID: <57540604.30404@python.org> We are happy to announce that we?ve opened our second Call for Proposals. This call is limited to hot topics and most recent developments in software and technology and will run until June 12. *** Proposal Submission Page *** https://ep2016.europython.eu/en/speakers/hot-topics-cfp/ Why is there a second call ? ---------------------------- Planning a big conference is a challenge: On one hand people like to know what will be on our talk schedule to make up their mind and make travel arrangements early. On the other hand technology is progressing at enormous speed these days. So we have given this some thought and decided to split the Call for Proposals in two phases, with the second just weeks before the conference. Submit your hot topic talk -------------------------- This CFP is reserved for: * hot topics * emerging technologies * brand new developments in software & hardware * recent results in research and science Some suggestions for topics: * Exciting new hardware & Internet of Things * Robotics * Virtual Reality * AI & Deep Learning The second call will be open for nine days only: Saturday June 4th 0:00 to Sunday June 12th 24:00 CEST. The program work group will then select the most exciting and intriguing submissions and will notify the winners on short notice. Submit your poster or run a help desk ------------------------------------- Since we still have a few slots left, we are also looking for more posters and help desks - these are not limited to hot topics. Get a ticket discount --------------------- For talks, posters, help desks we will give out a 25% discount coupon valid for one conference ticket.

I personally think that's an excellent idea. And here's a thought: PEP 1 says that a PEP should provide a rationale. And what is a PSF board resolution if not a PSF-EP? Regards, Matt From betsy at python.org Wed Jun 8 12:29:10 2016 From: betsy at python.org (Betsy Waliszewski) Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2016 09:29:10 -0700 Subject: [PSF-Community] Community Members Needed for PSF Sponsor WG Message-ID: Hi everyone, This is in relation to the recent bylaws change[1]. We have created a new working group for PSF Sponsors. The initial goal will be to review the PSF sponsorship applications that come in. The review process will include discussion via the mailing list and the voting process will also take place on the mailing list. We are in need of a few more voting members. If anyone is interested in participating in this working group, please send a brief intro about yourself to sponsors-wg at python.org. Here is the draft wiki page and charter: https://wiki.python.org/psf/SponsorWG. This has not yet been approved by the board, but we need enough voting members first to bring this to the board. *[1] the board has just approved an amendment of the PSF bylaws to* *remove the sponsor membership category. From now on, we willjust have sponsors and no longer need to vote them in, hopefullymaking it much easier to sign up new sponsors. The next step iscreating a sponsors WG to take over sponsor management.Here's the official resolution:- RESOLVED, that the Python Software Foundation amend the PSF bylaws to remove the Sponsor Membership category. All changes made by the Bylaws WG are listed here:https://bitbucket.org/malemburg/psf-bylaws/diff/bylaws.md?diff1=ba846896778b&diff2=fa6ce90a3f1376b2708bf76d87c70813f96e010a&at=default . Approved 11-0-0 via email vote 25 May 2016and these are the updated bylaws:https://www.python.org/psf/bylaws/?20160525 * Best regards, Betsy -- Betsy Waliszewski Python Software Foundation Event Coordinator / Administrator @betswaliszewski -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
