First, I wasn't aware it had been first moved one week to Jun 2nd, and apparently it has now been moved to Jun 30th? This lack of communication and coordination is a bit unsettling to be honest. My apologies if there yet another mailing list I'm not subscribed to where this notices are posted, but if you have announced the date changes, it has been radio silence on my end, and I assume the same is true for many folks who aren't as involved with the community.

Everyone doesn't use Twitter (where the extension was posted) and I was remiss in not using our ML for this notification. Unfortunately, we missed our goal by a lot and since this is our one big fundraiser of the year, we decided to extend the deadline (twice). We need to get to $60K to help support programs such as our Python in Education projects. For those who are not yet PSF supporting members, it's only $99 a year, so please consider signing up. Donations of any amount are most welcome. https://www.python.org/psf/donations/2019-q2-drive/ Best, Betsy On Tue, Jun 4, 2019 at 8:02 AM Ruben D.

However, for this year?s conference, we have decided to give our attendees something to play with and this needs a little more preparation than a bottle or a beach towel. Drum roll? crowd screaming? and here it is: we?re please to present the... EuroPython 2019 PewPew Game Console ----------------------------------- * https://ep2019.europython.eu/events/pewpew-workshops/ * The device was created and designed by Radomir Dopieralski, a long time EuroPython regular and enthusiastic Python device and robotics builder. The PewPew is a simplified game console, programmable with CircuitPython, a variant of MicroPython. It comes with a 64 LED display and a set of small buttons to drive the console. We will have one device per attendee with training or conference ticket and plan to give them out together with the badges. Free Workshops -------------- To teach you how to program the consoles and help with any questions you may have, we have arranged a special workshop room on the training days Monday and Tuesday, where Radomir and his team will run workshops focusing on the PewPew. You will learn how to write small programs and games. Our hope is that you will take this knowledge home and spread the word about how much fun Python is ? especially for younger users. The workshops are free for EuroPython conference or training ticket holders, but please see our notes on catering on the training days. Help us run the workshops ------------------------- Since Radomir needs help with running the workshops, we are reaching out to you with this blog post. If you are interested in embedded Python, hardware hacking, game development and similar topics, we invite you to come help us running those workshops. This is a great opportunity to meet with Python developers and learn together, and we?re sure you will have great fun while helping other attendees. Whether it?s just lending a hand getting things working, or running a whole workshop ? it?s up to you, either way we will greatly appreciate your help. Please sign up using our mentor form.

Day Workshop. We cater to new Pythonistas of all levels: from absolute beginners through to experienced programmers encountering Python for the first time. * https://ep2019.europython.eu/events/beginners-day/ * What is Beginners? Day ? ------------------------ Beginners? day welcomes and supports folks who are new to Python programming. It takes place on Tuesday 9th July, from 9:30 - 16:00 at the workshop venue, FHNW Campus Muttenz. Just in time to get you ready for all the talks which follow on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday ! It?s also a great place to make friends with fellow attendees and figure out how to get the most out of EuroPython. Bring your laptop, because this will be a hands-on session! The day will start with workshops to give you the chance to try out Python in lots of different situations: making a game, creating a website, programming embedded devices or telling stories with data (in a Jupyter notebook). Later in the day you?ll have an opportunity to further explore those aspects of Python which appeal to you with the support of a team of experienced and helpful mentors. We?ll end the day with a question and answer session about Python, EuroPython and the wider Python ecosystem. The emphasis will be in creating a fun, supportive and useful path into the Python programming language and its community. Sign up for Beginners? Day -------------------------- You will need a conference pass to attend, but otherwise, it?s free, so if you?re thinking of coming to the conference, but you?re new to Python or programming, this could be the session for you: https://ep2019.europython.eu/registration/buy-tickets/ The session will be presented in English (although our mentors will typically speak a few other languages as well). If you?d like to come, please do register in advance for this session, so that we know how to plan to make it the best yet. We need to know the numbers for planing the workshop.

Day here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScBSJ8y--ROBI7HDQ01H1Cn9RI9amC9mRoOJMEppOmbZv0pMA/viewform Call for Mentors ---------------- The workshop is being organised by experienced Python programmer and educator, Nicholas H.Tollervey. Already know Python? Do you value working in an open, inclusive and collaborative way? Want to develop your mentorship skills? Fantastic! We?re looking for folks with the technical skills, patience, humour and empathy to work with beginners who may come from a wide variety of backgrounds and levels of experience. It?s rewarding, fun and a great way to give back to the community. We?d especially love to hear from you if you can add an extra language to help non-English speakers feel comfortable asking questions, or if you?ve never mentored before and want to try to share your knowledge for the first time. This is a supportive environment for both beginner programmers AND beginner mentors. :-) Please sign up as a mentor on our mentor registration form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdkphUVi_vplS7yvxI432R03BJPCapv-K29p1EPA0F5Tn8qhA/viewform Dates and Venues ---------------- EuroPython will be held from July 8-14 2019 in Basel, Switzerland, at the Congress Center Basel (CCB) for the main conference days (Wed-Fri) and the FHNW Muttenz for the workshops/trainings/sprints days (Mon-Tue, Sat-Sun).

That's for the PSF to take a view on. I merely commented on my own experience of the list. I'm sure you remember many times in the past when what seemed like a great idea would be floated within the Foundation membership, supported enthusiastically, then wither and die on the vine. That's a fairly healthy sign - many new initiatives, most of which are not expected or required to "succeed" but which will leave ripples in the pond. Sadly, this one appears to be sinking like a stone. I suspect this is because many of those who joined don't feel empowered to post to the list. So the best thing this white male can do is get out of the way. regards Steve Steve Holden On Thu, Jun 27, 2019 at 8:35 AM M.-A. Lemburg wrote: > I'm sorry if our posts come across as spamming.

The point in posting here is to address and engage with PSF members specifically, since many of our attendees are PSF members. We post announcements since we want to keep people up to date with what's happening and not miss anything. As mentioned, I'd love to see more such announcements from other conferences as well, but many of them unfortunately don't appear to have the PSF members on their radar.

Perhaps the problem is not with EuroPython posting too many things, but rather why aren't other members share more "community-type" announcements here? If people always have to worry that they'll be criticized as "spamming" it will deter people from actually posting useful information. I personally think info about a conference is relevant to the community, so it is fine to post them here. Another thing that would be great is if the PSF community page ( https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/psf-community) can be updated to include more elaborate guidelines and examples of what posts are acceptable or not. ?

However, I didn't sign up for this list expecting to get a constant stream of updates about EuroPython. From the name and description I'd imagine it would be more focused on news about the PSF and community efforts with and around the PSF itself. It's not that I don't like to know that EuroPython is hard at work, it's great that you're enthusiastic, but I don't think the level of updates currently being sent to this list is useful. A few of the most important updates, such as a CFP or ticket sales seems more appropriate. I can add a filter that deletes anything with "EuroPython", but that means I will hear nothing, rather than just important things, and might miss other PSF-related discussions of EuroPython.
