[http://www.python.org/psf PSF] chairman [:StephanDeibel: Stephan Deibel] aptly observed that these are "needed:
- Slides / notes for presentation overviewing the PSF (I have some very simple slides I can provide as a start to whoever takes this on, and can help but can't lead this)
- Course materials for an 'evangelism training seminar'
- Review of PSF web pages to make them more evangelist-friendly
Possibly, printable handouts and other supplementary materials". Some notes on this are on the PsfMaterials page.
This [http://wiki.python.org/moin/ Wiki] page is where we'll start to flesh out Stephan's outline. Note, for example, AMK's [http://www.amk.ca/talks/python-dev/ slides for a talk on the Python development process].
Here is the outline from my slides (the ones I attempted to show at PyCon 2005 except my laptop didn't work w/ the projector). The slides are also available in [http://www.python.org/psf/psf-overview.ppt Powerpoint format] and [http://www.python.org/psf/psf-overview.sxi OpenOffice format]:
