I thought this email thread on the Python Conferences mailing list [1] might be relevant to recent efforts by Matt Hamilton who is organizing the PloneConf2010 to attract non-developers to the conferences.
Maybe we could join forces with the Python folks to share marketing material and talking points about the use of Python at schools, business, government, etc. Nate [1] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/conferences ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: M.-A.

It's going to be a general purpose high quality Python image brochures to promote Python. One of the ideas behind this is to reach out to people who are not directly involved in programming, e.g. higher level management, school administrations, governments, customers who you need to convince of the usefulness of Python, students/parents you want to convince that learning Python is a good thing, etc. etc. We also plan to extract information from the brochure to produce flyers. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jul 13 2010) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2010-07-19: EuroPython 2010, Birmingham, UK 5 days to go ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
