  • 2012-07-16 PSF Board Meeting Minutes

    ...about this issue As a side note... for AM breaks they only serve sweet stuff. I think we worry too much about people complaining about our food ;) Had a good talk with Giovanni (conference chair) about EuroPython. We discussed many things. They fear moving the conference to another committee. They have financial fears that need to be changed so each committee is not purely responsible for the possibility of going bankrupt Culture and language barriers were discussed. We will be making a EuroPyth...

  • A Journey to Python

    ...about writing a Python book. I really wanted to do a "Python Cookbook", but O'Reilly had other ideas for that, in cooperation with ActiveState, based on an online cookbook; so I undertook instead to write Python in a Nutshell, and meanwhile I tried to help that cookbook project along by posting recipes, commenting on others' posts, and so on. Smack in the middle of the Nutshell's gestation, an emergency emerged (as emergencies will :-)—the Python Cookbook just wasn't going to happen u...

  • Changes to PSF Bylaws for the March 2009 Members' Meeting

    ...about what happens to companies across buy-outs, reorganizations, and as people come and go. Automatically convert non-active members to emeritus status, and easily allow conversion back to active nominated status. This is so we don't have to do a lot of membership management work, and so we don't run into a state where we cannot reach quorum. Clarify "record date" stuff which was very convoluted as far as defining who was entitled to notice and/or voting at a meeting. Don't allow non...
