A warm welcome to Martin Borus as the second elected EuroPython Society Fellow in 2025.
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.‌
Martin has been part of the Europython Conferences volunteers since 2017.
Some have “met” him the first time in a response on an issue sent to the helpdesk or during the organisation meetings of the ops team.
Others interacted with him as a volunteer at reception, out in the halls, a tutor in a Humble Data tutorial, a session chair, or room manager in a tutorial or talk.
While pretending to be just an “Onsite volunteer” or a member of the “Operations team”—over time he has taken over not only the organisation of the registration desk, but also developed and orchestrated the training of session chairs.
He also expanded the programme with the informal session for first time conference attendees, which have been well received by all attendees.
The EuroPython Society Board would like to congratulate and thank all 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
