...If the project goes well, we'll follow up with a Python flyer, translated versions of the brochure and also consider creating marketing material more targeted at specific user groups or application fields. In the long run, we'd also like to take the idea of producing marketing material beyond printed material and develop booth setups, giveaways, CDs, etc. to support conference organizers and local user groups wishing to promote Python at their events." 5.6 Moving PyPI to ...

...if I don't believe it's the right solution? Would it be better if the ED or PyCon staffer is also the conference chair? Would concentrating the authority make the proposal more palatable? I strongly believe in Python and the PSF's potential to be a force for good, and I see staffing as a way to realize our potential. I'd like some direction from the Board. I strongly feel that we need to do something, and that we need an executive-level position, especially at the start, because the most impor...
