In mid-2006, the PSF agreed to hire JeffreyRush for full-time work on ["Advocacy"]. The contract was renewed for another six months starting March 15, 2007, along with a [http://www.python.org/psf/grants/advocacy/revised-tasks.pdf list of tasks to tackle].
Current Tasks:
Use the [http://www.dfwpython.org:8000/ www.python.org mockup area] to test some proposed changes, re a "spotlight" topic and a "get involved" feature, and get feedback from the community.
Produce some "5-Minutes with Python" screencasts -- I've installed the necessary software and practiced a bit but have screencast block
- Work on "Starting and Running a Successful Python User Group" paper, with select members of the Usergroup Support Committee who have volunteered to help.
- Hold another online meeting of the Usergroup Support Committee.
- Begin reviewing 12th edition of "Understanding Computers" textbook.
Existing Challenges (most recent at top):
- getting the various screencast tools to play well and polish my presentation skills re screencasting (the tools are now working fine -- now to test with a few casts...)
