[http://www.python.org/psf PSF] president [http://www.python.org/moin/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".

This [http://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].

Isn't someone else keeping a list of killer apps? Anyway, [http://gnu.org/software/mailman Mailman] belongs.


AMK observes that, "It might be worth creating a customized version of the S5 slide stylesheets so that PSF presentations can have a consistent look."


Also available, on request: both Stephan (through the psf-volunteers list (hyperlink?)) and evangelism support materials czar [http://python.org/moin/CameronLaird Cameron Laird] maintain a list of volunteers at least occasionally available to speak on Python, sorted by locale (DC, Seattle, Texas, Central America, and so on).


Other highlights I want to elaborate: Pythonology; language comparisons; presentation tips; PBF ...; Greg's eShop story; ...

(also, more hyperlinks)
