PythonKC Organizer Search

• Python expertise is not a requirement
  • Organizer tasks have almost nothing to do with Python skills
  • Finding meeting space and lining up presentations don't require writing code
• Being an organizer is not a huge time commitment
  • Mostly it's just showing up
  • No current organizer is stepping down
• We'd like to represent differing points-of-view

  • We'd like to change that
