It's not surprising that developers don't want to spend (too much) time on marketing their activities. The python-dev summaries were certainly a useful way to have people follow what's going on behind the scenes: http://legacy.python.org/dev/summary/ http://legacy.python.org/dev/summary/channews.rdf (too bad those links don't work anymore) The idea with the panel is to bring back some of the attention to the things done in core development. >> So my question to you: will some of you attend EuroPython this >> year and would you be willing to talk on a panel ? > > I plan to attend EuroPython (by the way, I have to submit a talk, > probably something around FAT Python ;-)), why not joining the panel.
