What make Python UserGroups Awesome?
Python communities is a bright spot of achievement in an already gleaming set of positive points. Here are some tangible feels about it.
The PSF supports you!
- First and foremost, Python has a foundation. A foundation gives a big push to promotion and events.
- A python.org mailing list is given for free. See our's here.
- You are not an island, Python officially lists all it's user groups on a page. Wherever you are on earth, you always know where to connect.
- Grants are available.
Care by default
Documented community guidelines
- Python UserGroups have guidelines to follow. Right out of the box you don't have to think what and how to go about it.
- The group structure is already defined: <<Find one or more people to become part of the organizers team. Getting a second person to sign up as a core organiser helps prevent your own burn-out, and reduces the 'bus number', for when you are indisposed. (on holiday, hospitalised, etc)>>
- It encourages to get the word out. For example it has to this effect a special mailing list for announcements.
Spotlight communities is not a stroke of luck
