Folks, It's worth pointing out that Marc Andre has been involved since the beginning, weathered many a storm and yet has always been adaptable, unflappable and affable. That he always couches things from "the team" is also testament to his community oriented leadership.
Also, this photo [https://web.archive.org/web/20040928224045im_/http://starship.python.net/crew/gherman/photography/epc2002/indexfiles/IMG_2615.jpgt.jpg] appears to prove that he doesn't age either. Is organising EuroPython the secret to eternal youthful looks..? :-P I'm not sure who else from the original crew are still involved, but here's saluting you Marc Andre. I hope to be able to buy you a beer and toast your good health sometime very soon. Big hugs and huge appreciation to you and all the EuroPython volunteers over the years. N.
