8 Other Business
8.1 Banner Pop Ups
Marc-Andre approached the board with the idea to send a pop up banner to each board member. This would be to help represent the PSF at meetings/conferences that the board members attend.
8.2 Ghana
We need to find out further information on the MISE proposal and possibly connect them with the Python Tour in Africa.
8.3 Public Relations
Brian switched PR services from PR Web to Market Wire because of good deals. If they end up providing good distribution, Marc-Andre thinks it may be a good idea for the PSF to start putting out press releases again (possibly using Marketwire).
8.4 esdotpycondotorg
The board does not see an issue with esdotpycondotorg getting complete control over the sub-domain by setting up their own name service for it and having esdotpycondotorg and any sub-domains resolve to whatever they setup on their servers.
