2. Discussions

• We received a very nice update from Andromeda Yelton with the results of the introduction to Python Workshop at the 2013 American Library Association annual conference that we supported in June: "Thank you -- so much, again -- for sponsoring lunch at our Introduction to Python workshop last Friday. We ended up with about 40 attendees. Not having to worry about finding lunch gave them a well-deserved chance to relax, and gave us time to run lightning talks showcasing real-world Python applications. Here's a blog post on the event: http://litablog.org/2013/07/introduction-to-python-at-ala-annual-or-awesome-true-ala2013py/ We also have a Storify capturing the day as it happened: http://storify.com/ThatAndromeda/introduction-to-python-at-ala/".
• We are in the middle of discussing the committee's membership guidelines. There isn't currently an explicit system for joining the committee, retiring, or re-affirming the committee membership with the board. More details on this to come; David will probably be sending the Board an updated list of committee members to confirm soon.

5.4   Marketing Material Report

• The marketing material project aims to design, produce and ship professional quality marketing material for Python.
• The first goal is to create a Python brochure which show-cases Python's application spaces, how it helps users to achieve their tasks and what its benefits are in a professional and educational setting.
• Please see this wiki page for more information on the effort: https://wiki.python.org/psf/PSF%20Python%20Brochure

1. Progress

• Nothing much new to report. We're still in the process of selling ad spaces to get the finances all setup for going to print.
• Meanwhile, I'm collection new leads for success stories for a second edition.
• If you are interested in signing up as reference sponsor or know someone who might be interested, please refer them to the brochure site: http://brochure.getpython.info/
• Once we have the sponsors all signed up, we'll go to print with the brochure and have it distributed to the ad sponsors, reference sponsors, subscription sponsors and Python conferences, user groups, etc. via on-demand shipping.
• If you are the lead of a local user group, conference, educational institution and interested in receiving boxes with the brochure delivered to you at no additional costs, please contact the PSF or our team directly via brochure at getpython.info.

2. Issues

• The only issue at the moment is the slow progress in signing up reference entry sponsors.
• We'd really like to finish the project and go to print.

5.5   Community Relations Report

1. Summary

• With the PSF Community Relations we aim at creating closer bindings with the world-wide Python communities.
• Please see this wiki page for more information on the effort: https://wiki.python.org/psf/Community%20Relations

2. Progress

• We've had the conference kit at EuroPython 2013 and the South American kit will be used for Python Brasil 2013 this year.
• I'm planing to take the European kit to PyCon DE 2013, if the PSF decides to sponsor the event.
• For PyCon Ireland 2013, we'll have a smaller roll-up version built which will most likely stay in Ireland to reduce the shipping costs overhead.
• I'm continuing discussions with national and local groups, encourage people to make use of the Python events calendars (and help maintaining it) and help wherever I can.

3. Issues

• The budget the board approved for the conference kits is fully used up. I'll have to propose a budget position for marketing activities or use my directors allowance.

5.6   PSF Domains Report

• The PSF domains team takes care of managing and registering domains owned by the PSF.
• Please see this wiki page for more information on the effort: https://wiki.python.org/psf/PSF%20Domains

• Still pending are the ones that Arc hosts, since I'm having trouble contacting him.

• The registration of the python.china domain has gone through now in the second round.

2. Issues

• Some transfer problems like emails not coming through, but nothing serious.
