[Edu-sig] Can I get a contact to a real person?

2014-05-22 Thread Jeff Elkner
Andre, the reason I asked for a contact was precisely to avoid what just happened. I emailed webmas...@python.org and received an automated reply with over a dozen "read the docs" type links. If we want to attract more volunteers, we need to be a bit more friendly to them :-(

Great. Any chance someone could point me in the direction of "someone on the web support team"? I'll take it from there. On Thu, May 22, 2014 at 10:32 AM, Andre Roberge wrote: > > > > On Thu, May 22, 2014 at 11:16 AM, Jeff Elkner wrote: >> >> Two questions: >> >> 1. Andre, what do I need to do

Two questions: 1. Andre, what do I need to do to begin maintaining that page? 2. Is there anyone in this thread not on edu-sig? My next reply will go only to the list. On Thu, May 22, 2014 at 10:09 AM, Jessica Nickel wrote: > Sounds like a plan. I would be happy to talk with Selena about the wo

What would be the next step? I think you are right, Naomi, that what I'm talking about is an EDU effort, whereas I imagine "Education and Outreach" is more about reaching out to the Business and IT communities to tell them about Python. Should we adding a Python in Education committee? One of th
