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
- Take a look at the current PythonKC organizers
- We're more alike than different
- We'd like to change that
- Welcome Julie Stark!
- We're still looking for other interested people
