4.2   Kurt Kaiser

Continued the diverse, but routine, activities needed to process all the incoming and outgoing financial transactions (checks, wires, PayPal, ACH, charges) for the PSF and PyCon, working with payees to get their wire or credit card details as needed. Paid bills and grants. Made deposits. Created Quickbooks Online (QBO) transactions for all of these. Updated the grants, PyCon Tutorial/FA, PyCon Sponsor, and PSF Sponsor status spreadsheets to reflect activity. Reconciled and reviewed the PSF bank/credit accounts. Reviewed the donations and allocated them to our eleven fiscal sponsorees. Transferred donated funds to the Boston Python PEX card. Reimbursed fiscal sponsoree expense. Reviewed open invoices and designated those needing statements sent. Processed the biweekly payroll and matched those transactions in QBO. General review of financial status. Attended Board meetings.

Worked with the IT Director to continue to deal with some issues on psfmember.org involving the new anti-spam controls and also a recent DDOS, which the IT Director addressed by introducing a couple of technical improvements.

Finished setting up the ACH Fraud controls on our SunTrust accounts. Set up SunTrust Cash Manager access via Trusteer. Integrate iOS access. Worked with SunTrust to expand the accounts covered by Online Courier.

Continued making PyCon vendor payments. Traveled to/from PyCon.

Wrapped up 2016 in Quickbooks Online (QBO) and prepared preliminary financial reports for PyCon PSF Member meeting.

Worked with the Controller and the Financial Aid and Tutorial volunteers to pay out financial aid and tutorial honoraria. Collected tax forms and tracked those for 1099 reporting and withholding payments.

Worked up PyLadies balances for application to PyCon financial aid. Processed and deposited cash received for t-shirts and the PyLadies auction.

After PyCon, continued to process Tutorial tax forms and honoraria. Processed registration refunds and handled chargebacks.

Worked with the Controller to revise the chart of accounts in preparation for reporting condensed financials on python.org/psf, and began preparing those reports.

Worked on PCI compliance issues.

Grant activity: although most of the grant activity is now being handled by the Controller, during the period I was still quite involved with invoices and grant email. I've now formally transferred the grant responsibility to the Controller. I will continue to handle FX wire payments while I set up an online system for those and continue to mail checks and approve wires. But, those activities should not take much time.

Worked through a couple of HR issues involving withholding adjustments.

Focusing on wrapping up payments to PyCon vendors and volunteers.

4.6   Lorena Mesa

Participated in board meeting as normal. Attended PyCon USA in Portland, Oregon where I volunteered in several capacities including: being a teaching assistant for the Young Coders: IO track, staffed the PyLadies booth, and act as an auctioneer for the PyLadies Auction.

In lead up to PSF Board of Director elections I spent time on-site at PyCon and online (e.g. PyLadies Slack) to recruit individuals for the coming PSF Board of Directors election. Ultimately I found one candidate that I've nominated, alongside myself, for the PSF Board of Directors 2017 election.

At PyCon met with other PSF Directors, staff, and community members to discuss the future of the Code of Conduct working group where we have made a draft for the working group. Additionally PSF Directors including me and PSF staff began to discuss the future of the Python organizers materials, like the PyCon Organizers Manual. We decided to start a Python organizers GitHub community to house these projects in, allowing the PSF staff to take ownership of the community to better foster longterm growth. As we wait for the new board to define what the future of these projects should be, I have continued to reach out to regional Python organizers to solicit feedback and participation including individuals in the Caribbean and South America.

Lastly began drafting a call for hosting for the PyLadies Conference. The PyLadies Conference, which was to be chaired by a member that had to resign, never came to fruition. Along with a few PyLadies we are revitalizing the conference and beginning with the call to host PyLadies Conference.

4.7   Trey Hunner

We're now very close to a fully drafted charter for the code of conduct committee.

5.3   Cuban Pythonistas

• Received four offers of venues for the SciPyLA 2017 conference: We've chosen Memories Varadero resorts. We are in the final process of signing contract and doing required paperwork.
• Python meetups: Docker on Raspberry Pi Cienfuegos - https://www.meetup.com/Docker-Cuba/events/240871128/; PyDay Cienfuegos -https://www.meetup.com/CubanTech/events/240871291/
• Upcoming Meetups: Docker on Raspberry Pi Havana - https://www.meetup.com/Docker-Cuba/events/240872505/; PyData Havana (Pandas for data-driven journalism) - https://www.meetup.com/CubanTech/events/240372001/; MicroPython workshop
• Meeting at the Ministry of Informatics and Telecommunications. Summary: Green light to create a leal entity for the Cuban Python community working together with the PSF. They'll be supporting the SciPyLA 2017 conference.
• Meeting at the Ministry of Higher Studies and Education. Summary: Green light to create a Scientific Section (legal entity) about Scientific Python writing the documentation to submit this for approval ... so this is not carved in stone yet. Their support to the SciPyLA 2017 conference is not confirmed yet. For all this we've been required to present a letter of intention or some statement or proof of the fact that the PSF is supporting these efforts . We'd appreciate to know what can be done about this since we need this documentation the sooner the better.

The creation of such legal structures is quite important . The Cuban constitution only allows peaceful assembly under the umbrella of a registered organization, so this is a precondition to the organization of annual PyCon Cuba conferences.
