Jones for his excellent management of proposals, papers and the proceedings. Richard worked with the speakers to keep them informed of what was going on, found replacement talks at short notice when speakers pulled out, created the programme and made it all happen.

Furthermore, Richard also helped with the publicity by reaching out to Australia's python users.

Debbie also helped with the publicity by using her university contacts.
