I think the mailing list listowner role and coordinating PES are entirely
separate roles.
For example we could rotate the latter while keeping the former fixed for
many years.
The edu-sig page has never mentioned PES.
I'd have no problem with Jeff doing both, but I see no reason to confuse

Sounds great. What are you thinking?

It has taken a while, but I am finally getting settled into my new job and
my new home, after a major relocation from the east coast to the pacific.

Jeff, I would be happy to be the coordinator.
Next question is...
What are the official duties of a SIG coordinator?

Jeff:
Thanks for spinning up this conversation. Great stuff.
My intent is to volunteer to chair the Python Education Summit (PES) next
year (based on Naomi's comments regarding stepping down). I don't know what
the formal process is to make that official... Naomi... can you shed light
on that?

Hi Chalmer,
Glad to hear you're getting settled in a new environment. I know what you
mean, except in my case it's probably cooler and wetter than yours. :-)
I'll send the occasional inquiries I get on edu summit matters on to you.
Cheers,
Naomi

The Software Carpentry link is fixed. Thanks, Kirby!
I can not fix the mailing list settings. The following page:

I agree, not a problem at all, to include a full spectrum of outreach /
initiatives,
to K-12 (or the equivalent in other namespaces / systems) and beyond.
In terms of the website, I think the edu-sig home page is a good place to
start:

Which has not been a problem at all. Think of the big involvement
from the RIT folks in this year's PES. It's a meritocracy, after all.
The volunteers who step forward determine what gets done.

Sounds good to me, as long as we're clear that "promoting Python in
education" is in no way limited to K-12. I'm a full time teacher of Python
to adults and like to think edu-sig is the right venue for my kind of
chatter as well. So far, I've felt that way. K-12 is important and
welcome, but not
If Chalmers steps up for both, fine, but I agree with Naomi: We should not
make this a precedent.
There is a real question of what edu-sig coordinator would mean, past
monitoring the listserv.
As has been the case historically, there is always the question of how to
get volunteer effort together
What I'm hoping for is broader participation and on-going effort in
promoting Python in education. It makes sense to coordinate this
effort with the PES, which could serve as a yearly gathering of folks
who have been working together throughout the year. This is a good
time to do this, following

In my experience edu-sig has never been inactive.

As far as coordinating the PyCon Education Summit, I don't think there is a
strong precedent for any connection between Edu-Sig and running the summit.
In general, PyCon people are just that - PyCon organizing spots aren't tied
officially to any other Python organizations they may well be on t
Let's see if Naomi has anything different to say, but doesn't it make
sense that the main task of the edu-sig coordinator would be to
coordinate the edu-sig's main event, the PES?

I have not maintained the page for quite a few years now. I changed

Here's what I remember that I had 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

Great! So it seems we have two short term goals:

One point of info I can add - the person you're thinking of running for PSF
board is Selena Deckelman, who was on Nate's panel at the edu summit. She's
been very into bridging the gap between developers and K-12 teachers.

Not sure exactly, but a group within the PSF that, among other things:

on python.org.
2. Plans next year's education summit.
3. Helps promote Python's use in education and coordinate activities
around Python in edu.

There is an already PSF Education and Outreach committee... I think that
what you're thinking would be somewhat different than what they do, but
that might be the place to start.

First off, kudos to Naomi, Jessica, and Chalmer on putting together a
thoroughly enjoyable EDU Summit at Pycon!
I'm interested in following up from that with some on-going Python in
Education work throughout the year, and with the changes in the PSF,
that may be the way to go about it.
