To be honest, I don't actually know. However, I was actually thinking in terms of asking them to send a few interested representatives, rather than necessarily having them all attend. Assuming http://www.python.org/psf/committees/#outreach-education-committee-orec is reasonably up to date, I expect they could come up with a few volunteers that are going to be in Montreal on the day of the summit and can spare the time to come chat with us about ways we could work better together :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
