...about the IRS pre-approval. Tim asks that setting up a one-click donation procedure should be implemented in the very near future. Guido points out a terminology confusion (people/companies sponsoring the PSF, and sponsor members proper), and suggests to use the term "sponsor" for members and "donor" for other supporters. 6. Member meeting Jeremy reminds the board that PSF members must be invited to the member meeting at PyCon. Board candidates should step forward on the PSF list, and new memb...

...about the space occupied by an empty dictionary for each instance you create.) If you don't need this extra space, you can add the phrase "__slots__ = []" to your class. (See above for more about __slots__.) Factoid: __new__ is a static method, not a class method. I initially thought it would have to be a class method, and that's why I added the classmethod primitive. Unfortunately, with class methods, upcalls don't work right in this case, so I had to make it a static method with a...
...about this later. Another intellectual challenge is visualization of (application-generated) data in ways that help novices. Spreadsheets are of great value here, but not all data fits the matrix form. Scripting languages are growing in popularity among professional programmers [Ousterhout], but questions remain about performance, software reuse, and integration with components written in other languages. We can address these challenges by enhancing the facilities of JPython [Hugunin1], a ...
...about the expanding role of Python as a replacement for Java. David Goodger reminded the members of his PyCon 2008 pre-conference report sent to the psf-members list. Specifically, the proposal for establishing a paid position for PSF and PyCon work. Some members had not read the proposal. David will re-post the proposal. Facundo Batista asked permission to use the name "PyCon" for a conference in Argentina. The consensus was that Python Argentina is free to use the term. The na...
...about the trademark policy. 7 PyCon A. Kuchling provided a PyCon status report: 104 talk proposals were submitted. This is a significant increase over last year; for 2006 we received ~80 proposals. The final accept/reject decisions still need to be made; we'll try to do that this week. A lot of the proposals look really interesting; I'm quite pleased and think the refereed tracks will be very good. The schedule has enough space to accept 50-60 proposals, so we'll have...
...about five or six contenders. RESOLVED, that Steve Holden may spend up to US$1000 to buy swag items for GHOP participants. Approved 7-0-0. 5 PyCon Update D. Goodger reported that PyCon is doing well: We are approaching 300 registered, we have over $130,000 in sponsorship pledged, and we have surpassed our room-night obligation to the hotel. Registration started late, but I expect at least as many attendees as last year (600), probably more. I will send out an early-bir...
...About half of all US households already own at least one personal computer, and this number is still growing. However, while many people nowadays use a computer, few of them are computer programmers. Non-programmers aren't really "empowered" in their computer use: they are confined to using applications in ways that programmers have determined for them. One doesn't need to be a visionary to see that this causes a lot of grief. An even more radical change is the introduction of comp...
...about the blog to various mailing lists (c.l.py, c.l.py.announce, etc.). No progress. Doug also reported on the new activities for the month.

...about the budget proposal for PyCon 2010. After lengthy discussion, they approved the budget for PyCon 2010. A. Kuchling: "I added my fragmentary PSF budget as the final sheet of the PyCon 2010 budget." R. Hettinger: "Why did the average revenue per attendee rise?" J. Rush: "Yes, I was wondering the same thing..." S. Holden: "Mostly because of the increase in registration fees. We'd need to ask V. Lindberg about the specifics, but I know he wants us ...
