Dear All, Why don't the EPS board and local organizers become the same thing? EPS is all about the conference, right? Why not elect EPS board every two years, and "tie" the board members to a location where the conference is held biannualy? This way the local organizers who "won" the next year would get the chance to run the things the way they see fit and also feel the responsibility and associated potential unpleasantness that comes with being a member of the board.
There probably should be some continuity, e.g. two members from the previous board become non-execs on the new board to pass on the knowledge, etc. And the three new members, ideally, are prominent Python figures, living at or somehow linked to the location where the conference is to be held. Thanks, Semen PS It seems to me that this, at least on average, would lead to a more fault-tolerant and interesting EuroPython ecosystem — but that's, just, like my opinion, man :). Apologies, if you have already considered this solution and disregarded it because of its shortcomings. -- Семен Тригубенко http://trygub.com
