Agenda

New Business

• Website redesign checkin
• PyLadies auction & luncheon
  • luncheon - copy+paste from last year, same room, same day (Sunday, May 18th, 1hr)
    • maybe more room when in Long Beach
    • option to add more photos
  • auction - met last month w/ Phyllis, Doug, Olivia, Lynn to plan/talk logistics
    • not having the last scheduled talk in the room so we have more time to turn the room over
    • 350 ppl capacity (same as last year)
    • food costs are almost double compared to SLC, trying to see if buffet will save money
    • capping number of donated items (individual and bundles) to 30
• PyLadiesCon
  • made a profit 🎉 - ~$4000
  • $6500 from last year
  • may want to use profit for travel grants for PyCon US
• Email: Grant submission from Brasil
  • general questions:
    • should funding requests for a pyladies chapter events first go to global instead of PSF?
      • opinion: we shouldn't step in between this process; it's okay to go directly to PSF (if they're an active chapter)
      • something for us to think about
      • TODO: define a process (for sometime when we get our governance model more sorted out)
• Outstanding PyLady award
• Email: Trademark q from Manila
• Email about donating money and posting jobs - to be discussed async
