In brief:
Points of discussion:
The Conference Committee Chair (A. Kuchling) and the Dallas-Fort Worth Pythoneers representative (J. Rush) both felt the contract is reasonable and are satisfied with the hotel's commitment. The board deemed the risks and potential losses acceptable. The board then RESOLVED, that Kurt Kaiser and Andrew Kuchling are authorized to obligate the PSF under the previously emailed 2-year contract for PyCon 2006/2007 to be held at the Marriot Quorum in Dallas, Texas. The contract may be changed before signing but any changes will be reported to the PSF board and may not increase the financial obligation assumed by the PSF. Approved 5-0-0. The board also expressed its thanks to Jeff Rush, Ralph Green, and the Dallas-Fort Worth Pythoneers for their excellent work. 4 Infrastructure Committee Status ReportA. Kuchling reported that PyPI was moved over to one of the new machines, and seems to be running fine. It's running under the name cheeseshop.python.org, chosen by Richard Jones. www.python.org now proxies for cheeseshop. Moving the static web service is the final piece, and is now being thought out. There was an issue with proving our identity to the SSL certificate issuing company. Kuchling said he would ask Barry about the status of the SSL certificates. 5 AdjournmentStephan Deibel adjourned the meeting at 18:00 UTC. |
