There will be an extra PSF Member Meeting at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention, July 22-26 in San Diego.

We've reserved a room for the meeting:
Location: Marina II
Date: Wednesday, July 24
Time: 8:00 - 10:00 pm

It is likely that only 8-10 PSF members will show up. This is not sufficient to make quorum without proxies: the quorum is 1/3 of the membership, which given the current is 17. Therefore we hope that many people will send in their proxy forms.

Tentative Agenda

  • Approval of new sponsor members STScI and AB Strakt
  • Progress report of 501(c)(3) application.
  • Statistics/progress regarding (sponsor) membership applications
  • Income and how to spend it
  • Future Python conferences

Proxies

If you cannot attend the meeting, you can vote by proxy.

The following members will attend the meeting, and are thus able to serve as proxies. Other members who plan to attend should contact the secretary to be included in this list.

  • Aahz
  • Jason Abate (Hostway)
  • David Ascher
  • Guido van Rossum
