Continued Activities from Last Month
Recruiting other people to help write for the blog.
A few volunteers have expressed interest, but things are getting off to a slow start. I hope to have some more interesting topics to give them after the August Board meeting.
Infrastructure Committee blog post
Sean as chairman; other members; planned improvements; python.org updates. I was able to collect a pretty good list of names for the webmasters and postmasters, so I'm including some details about those teams as well.
