[CREATE] LGM 2010: sponsoring

[Stani]

Hi,

I got a reply from Steve Holden, the chairman of the PSF (Python
Software Foundation). The next meeting of the PSF will be 8th of
March. So a proposal will need to be submitted a few days before. I'll
talk with Steve Holden this weekend at Pycon in Atlanta to discuss
possibilities. If you can send me now already some material, that
would be useful but probably not really necessary. However I hope that
the deadline of the 8/3 is realistic.

The PSF public website is here:

An example of what they rejected:

An example of what they obviously accepted:

Best regards,

Stani
