  • [Python-announce] EuroPython Society: Launching the EuroPython Society

    From Marc-Andre Lemburg@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 8 15:28:00 2021
    We are excited to announce the new EuroPython Society Fellow Grant.

    The grant is intended to honor and show gratitude towards members of the EuroPython Society (EPS) and the EuroPython Workgroups who have
    contributed significantly towards our mission, the EuroPython conference
    and the Society as an organization.


    EuroPython Fellows
    ------------------

    EuroPython Fellows are eligible to a lifetime free attendance of the
    EuroPython conference and will be listed on our EuroPython Society
    Fellow Grant page.

    https://www.europython-society.org/europython-society-fellow-grant/

    The EuroPython Board will decide on new Fellowships based on nominations
    by the EPS members and its own deliberations.


    Our first Fellows
    -----------------

    To launch the grant, the current board has decided to make all board
    members since 2012 who have served at least two terms and are not
    members of the current board EuroPython Fellows:

    - Alexander Hendorf
    - Alexandre Manhaes Savio
    - Anthon van der Neut
    - Borja Ayerdi
    - Christian Calogero Barra
    - Darya Chyzhyk
    - Fabio Pliger
    - Jacob Hallén
    - Vicky Twomey-Lee

    In our last board call, we added two additional Fellows:

    - Laura Creighton (2021)
    - Oier Etxaniz Beneitez (2021, posthumously)

    The board will announce more Fellows in the coming weeks. If you are an
    EPS member and want to nominate another member as a Fellow, please write
    to board@europython.eu and include the reasons why you believe the
    member should become a Fellow.

    The EPS Board would like to congratulate all of the above Fellows and
    thank them for their tireless work towards our goals.
