I'd send it out. People forget. People don't read announcements about stuff too far away in the future. Stuff ends up in spam.

Yes, maybe just in the early ones (like call for papers etc). > - Do you want non electronic promotions to be send out to like posters? Er, I'd love one, but I'm a fanboy :) It would probably be enough just to make available some official A4 PDF so that people can print it and put it on office boards etc. It doesn't need to be physically printed, just to be done with print in mind. > - If a channel is a public channel, what e-mail account (if necessary) > should the sender be using?

Surely you could have a europython account being forwarded to a private address, and then you just have to configure your mail client to send out emails with From and Reply-To set to the europython account when required...? I believe most clients allow this, certainly Thunderbird and KMail do, I think Outlook can do it as well. Or am I missing something? Btw, we already have a "Let's go to pycon uk" facebook group -- I made Zeth an admin, if you join I can make you an admin too and then it's all yours, we could simply rename it and use it as it is, it already has several members. Btw, other people could start something similar on their preferred social site, like Orkut, Ning etc... it seems stupid, but it's another channel for people who might not read mailing lists. I'll happily relay there any "official" communication that I get. cheers -- Giacomo Lacava -- Giacomo Lacava _______________________________________________ Europython-improve mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython-improve
