Marc Andre is in charge of the EuroPython PSF meeting. I'll help

His suggestion is to have the meeting Monday evening - potentially

This would have the advantage that we could have the meeting at the
BMI which is a short walk from the Wellington and its 14 hand-pulled
real ales.
Sounds good.
Although if we had it as a daytime session we would get more
'interested observers' and maybe make the PSF seem more relevant in
Europe.
I agree in principle - but "invited observers" is not the same as "open
to all". Could we have a meaningful meeting if it open to all, and if it
isn't open to all then the burden is on us to invite enough people.
Everyone who attends the language summit (several of whom are in the PSF
already) would be one obvious source, plus all those giving tutorials.
The speakers would be another good pool of people to draw from.
I suggest we take a vote, either in the next IRC meeting or on ep-improve.
Ok.
Michael
Best wishes,
John

In order to get as many members to the meeting as possible and
perhaps also a few observers, I think it's best to do the meeting
on Monday evening.

The last PSF meeting apparently had a few such observers:

I'm just asking because in other such meetings I regularly
attend no observers are allowed, unless they are invited
and no objections are raised.
