Next Tuesday (7/10) Boulder Python will be hosting a special meetup.
Instead of our regular format of talks, we will be viewing Mariatta
Wijaya?s PyCon 2018 talk: ?What is a Python Core Developer??. Afterwards,
we will springboard from the topics discussed in her thought provoking talk
to a panel discussion featuring distinguished members of the Boulder/Denver
tech community. (visit our Meetup page for more details)

Our hope for this evening is to provide our community with a new
perspective of the systemic barriers that exist in engaging
underrepresented groups in open-source development, not just Python. We
feel that this is larger than just open source and is an important
conversation that can help everyone who's ever experienced these barriers.
Our goal is that this discussion becomes an incubator for ideas to
encourage and support members of all groups as they become interested in
OSS development.

We hope that this encourages some of you to host a similar event and take
on what we feel is such an important responsibility. Our global Python
community seems incredibly well equipped for this effort

Sincerely,
Zo?, Scott, and Frank
Co-Organizers, Boulder Python

This sounds fascinating.? Will you be summarizing the discussion and 
ideas that result?

Absolutely. We're going to attempt to record the discussion but we'll have
to see how that turns out.

Subject: [group-organizers] Hi from Princeton!
Message-ID: <CAKbG-MgLjW=RmFVfsbObhGUn4=4Uj1OgjegyHj=P+gjxg=hrEA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I'm a co-organizer of the Python User Group in Princeton (PUG-IP). We've
always been informal, but we will be hosting a workshop in October. This
one comes with a rental fee that we needed a sponsor for (at least in my
time).

So my questions are

   1. Is there anything I should keep in mind when signing the venue's
   rental agreement?
   2. What is the best/appropriate method to get money from our sponsor to
   our venue?

Any help would be appreciated.

--Dan Clark

Hey Dan, I'm sure others will have some ideas but here's some thoughts that
immediately come to mind.

   1. Is there anything I should keep in mind when signing the venue's

Be sure you understand what's included in the costs and what is not. Some
venues require staffing the event, have setup/tear down costs, and charge
for very granular things (tablecloth rentals, etc.). Also be sure their
WiFi can handle your expected attendance - this one is commonly overlooked
and is very important for a workshop.

The PSF offers fiscal sponsorship for user groups. If you go this route
know that they have a 6 week minimum turn around time for paying
invoices/POs. The PSF will setup a payment portal that your sponsor(s) can
use to allocate the funds for your group. If you pay the venue directly,
see if your sponsor is willing to pay them directly on your behalf. I don't
know how much it is going to cost you -- but unexpected taxes (receiving
sponsorship dollars is considered untaxed income) is a commonly overlooked
detail.

Good luck!

Frank,

Thanks for the feedback.  I didn't think of some of those things.  The
event will be small, but I'm sure we'll exceed our normal attendance.

Either way I feel like I am over thinking all of this, and I just need to
get things done.

--Dan
