For the Python Software Foundation elections this year, if you care about Python user-groups, I recommend supporting these 3:
They are proposing to enable better collaborations between user-groups, caring for the community and have nice overall community sense.
People take the Python community for granted, but, organizers know how to spot real issues.
I personally think the community is broken, half of listed usergroups are dead and i sense these people would be doing a job i would be doing if i were over there.
Remember folks: Python is the community and a broken community is a broken Python experience.
