Hi everyone! A warm welcome to the newly elected EuroPython Society Fellows in the year 2024.
- Laís Carvalho
- Cyril Bitterich
EuroPython Society Fellows
EuroPython Society Fellows have contributed significantly towards our mission, the EuroPython conference and the Society as an organisation. They are eligible for a lifetime free attendance of the EuroPython conference and will be listed on our EuroPython Society Fellow Grant page in recognition of their work.
Laís has been volunteering with the EPS since 2020 and is currently serving as a board member for 2023–2024. Quoting from her nomination for the EuroPython Society fellowship:
Lais is the "superhero" of this year's EuroPython Organization. She's constantly trying to improve our processes, our way of operating, to push for diversity and inclusion, and to make things happen. Apart from that, she's always passionate about the EuroPython Society Mission, actioning on community outreach, expanding EPS communication channels and helping, in action, EPS to support the local python communities. I have no doubt that with her key contribution, 2024 will be one of the most impactful years for the mission of EPS.
Cyril started volunteering for EuroPython since 2022, He started helping with Ops and Programme teams initially and his firefighting skills proved invaluable as he supported other teams and the general organisation, making him a de facto member of the 2024 core organisers team. Quoting from his nomination for the EuroPython Society fellowship
Cyril is one of the most dedicated volunteers I've ever met. You'll argue with him, he'll care, you'll ask for his help. He will have input, he will review everything on time. Constantly trying to help, to include more people and always passionate about documenting all of our processes. Cyril is one of the people I'm very proud I have worked with and I'm sure with his contribution EPS will make a lot of steps forward.
The EuroPython Society Board would like to congratulate and thank all the above new Fellows for their tireless work towards our mission! If you want to send in your nomination, check out our Fellowship page and get in touch!
Many thanks,
EuroPython Society
