The whole idea of becoming a legal entity started on LinkedIn. Someone said there, that if we wanted to get sponsoring, it's only possible if we become some kind of legal entity. Is that true ?
I'm not found either of becoming a legal entity, if not strictly necessary.
About the goals, I believe we can all agree on bringing python users together through regular meet-ups.
The first meet-up will be rather informal, but the goal should be to be able to organize real events with (lighting)talks.
Some foreign groups also have educational goals.
