Jeff: Thanks for spinning up this conversation. Great stuff.
My intent is to volunteer to chair the Python Education Summit (PES) next year (based on Naomi's comments regarding stepping down). I don't know what the formal process is to make that official... Naomi... can you shed light on that? As everyone prolly already knows, that is not a task that can be done alone, so there should be plenty of opportunities for others to get their hands dirty. My guess/hope is that Jessica will want to help again this year. I captured a ton of notes and thoughts that I am putting to paper to outline 'the process' for next year's PES. Planned on putting that up on github as soon as I can. (I'm relocating right now, so free time is a luxury I don't have). Along with supporting the PES, I would love to support the types of efforts you are outlining here. Thanks again for firing up this conversation. chalmer Chalmer Lowe, MS http://projecteuler.net/profile/threelowelifes.png Level 1 On Thu, May 22, 2014 at 10:32 AM, Andre Roberge <andre.robe...@gmail.com>wrote: > > > > On Thu, May 22, 2014 at 11:16 AM, Jeff Elkner <j...@elkner.net> wrote: > >> Two questions: >> >> 1.
