We are hoping to name the event *"PyCon Dhaka 2014"*. As this is the first time we are doing it. We are thinking to create it in a small scale. Now, as far as I know PyCon's are held worldwide by local python communities. Do we have to follow any special protocol for this?

Our main intent is to protect the name from unwanted third party use for the benefit of the Python community. We simply don't want to run into another python.co.uk trademark situation: http://pyfound.blogspot.de/2013/02/python-trademark-at-risk-in-europe-we.html We have not yet put this up on the website, but since the question has come up, I'd like to share it with you via email as upfront info: """ "PyCon" Trademark Policy ------------------------ In order to protect the term "PyCon" against unwanted or misleading use by third parties, the PSF claims the term ?PyCon? as a trademark worldwide for conference activities. The PSF is additionally pursuing registration of the mark in various jurisdictions. It is the policy of the Python Software Foundation to allow the use of "PyCon" for conferences that focus on Python the programming language, have adopted a code of conduct compatible with that of the PSF, and allow anyone to attend the conference subject to a reasonable conference fee. Use of the trademark is subject to approval by the PSF trademarks committee (write to psf-trademarks at python.org). The PSF may update this policy from time to time. Updates will be published and announced by the PSF. PyCon Conferences Around the World ----------------------------------- PyCon conferences are community-led and community-focused gatherings of Python programmers around the world.

Hello Thamid, if you want to use a PyCon name, please request permission from the trademarks committee (psf-trademarks at python.org). We can also provide a pycon.org subdomain e.g. dhaka.pycon.org if you want to use this. The only requirement the PSF has for conferences using the term "PyCon" is this trademark policy: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/conferences/2014-June/000582.html Essentially, we ask for the conference to be about Python (obviously), that it's open to everyone, affordable and that you adhere to a code of conduct compatible with the PSF one: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ Regarding the latter, it's important to have someone in charge of complaint management and to provide easy to find contact information on the conference website. If you are looking for examples, here are some: https://us.pycon.org/2014/about/code-of-conduct/ http://python.ie/pycon/2014/codeofconduct/ http://pyconuk.net/CodeOfConduct Thanks, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg Director Python Software Foundation http://www.python.org/psf/ From nelle.varoquaux at gmail.com Mon Jun 2 22:43:24 2014 From: nelle.varoquaux at gmail.com (Nelle Varoquaux) Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2014 22:43:24 +0200 Subject: [Conferences] Trademark policy for "PyCon" conferences In-Reply-To: <538CB5C2.2000703@python.org> References: <538CB5C2.2000703@python.org> Message-ID: Hello, I understand the necessity of protecting the name "Pycon" and "python", but being involved in several organization committees of conferences on python or scientific python, I'll just comment on the following: "It is the policy of the Python Software Foundation to allow the use of "PyCon" for conferences that focus on Python the programming language, have adopted a code of conduct compatible with that of the PSF, and allow anyone to attend the conference subject to a reasonable conference fee." There are cultures and countries where the concept of a code of conduct is not at all welcomed. We discussed about this for EuroScipy (happening in the UK this year, but with organizers from all around Europe: France, Belgium, Italy, Germany, etc), and we decided not to have one. I think this is the type of statement that are "normal" in north america, but less so in many European countries, one of the reason being that what is stated in the code of conduct is just considered normal behavior.

I know... I've had trouble understanding the US movement around these CoCs myself, but have come to the conclusion that they are useful, even if they only state the obvious. There are two important aspects to having a CoC webpage up on the site, which often don't receive enough attention in the emotional discussions around these codes: 1. Providing an easy to find place on the site where attendees can turn to and get contact information in case of possible incidents. 2. Making the conference organizers think through how they will react in case of such incidents. Point 1 is important, since attendees will look for such pages in case of an incident. Point 2 is important, because the organizers will have to be prepared for such incidents and how to handle them. You can think of it as an emergency plan - it's good to have one, but you don't really want to run into the situation of having to use it. The PSF wants to encourage conference organizers to think about these things and make it easy for their attendees to find the required information. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg Director Python Software Foundation http://www.python.org/psf/ From katie.fulton at gmail.com Mon Jun 2 23:14:36 2014 From: katie.fulton at gmail.com (Katie Cunningham) Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2014 17:14:36 -0400 Subject: [Conferences] Trademark policy for "PyCon" conferences In-Reply-To: References: <538CB5C2.2000703@python.org> Message-ID: Wait, I thought that any "official" Python conference had to have a Code of Conduct in place?

For EuroPython, I wouldn't be surprised it has been imposed by the Europython society, and not decided by the local organizers. I know that for PyconFR, the first year, I just wrote the Coc without discussing this topic with other people (so again, no discussion needed), but for the french python association, it was a heated and very unpleasant debate. For EuroScipy, the organizers didn't feel the need for it, and thought it was redundant with british law (but it is a conference which is much more professional than many python conferences, in the sens that people that attend are scientists, thus go to many conferences for professional reasons). Now, for conferences such as PyconFR, that have existed for years, it is much harder to tell the organizers "you can keep your name, but you have to follow the new rules of the PSF, and that includes a code of conduct". Some of these people have been organizing python meetups since before the PSF existed. That's my two cents. Overall, I think it is good that people think about these problems, and agree on how to react to such incidents, I just don't think it is good to impose that on people.

If you looked at the organizing/program committees, you'd see it is a very diverse conference. I think this speaks much more about the atmosphere of the conference than any code of conduct. I'd also like to point (because Coc usually target sexism) that any scientific python conferences have always had a much higher number of women attending, talking or organizing than any other traditional python events.

Agreed, but there are exceptions to normality. It may be tempting to regard the North American model as hysterical, and that in Europe we may be more mature, but this is arrogant... If you think that you have no problems in respect of a CoC, then you may be correct, but it is more likely that you may have problems which you do not know about, and having a CoC will provide a framework within which any perceived misconduct can be reported and dealt with. At PyCon UK, we have had a CoC for the past two years, it was the subject of much discussion before we produced a version we agreed was suited to European needs (yes, the UK is in Europe ;-). In the second year, we were surprised to discover that we did indeed have a problem, having a CoC meant that it was raised and dealt with.

Does this mean that we have to ask for permission every year, or every time a different team organizes the conference? Perhaps we can hold the "grandchildren" trademark as the Python Espa?a organization and look after its right use? Anyhow, can you help us clarify which are the actions we have to take in the future?

Python Espa?a is the organization which the PSF grants privilege to use the PyCon trademark, and we trust that you know best how to find the local organizers to run the local conferences.

It is also extremely hard to find :) (and we should discuss the UK being part of Europe :p) In any case, I don't believe a statement on a website makes me feel any safer. I think it is sad to see people assume that conferences that don't have a CoC are not safe or friendly, without any inquiry. Around me, there is no need to remind people that sexist, racist and other exclusionary jokes can be offensive. Not only do I find slightly offensive that people think they have the need to remind me that, but I also don't really want to be part of a community that needs to be reminded that people should behave properly.

That is l almost exactly what I thought before we had a CoC (and I think this applied to most of our committee), but having introduced a CoC, and finding that it encouraged someone to report an (admittedly minor, but nevertheless unacceptable) transgression, which otherwise would have gone un-noticed, I have changed my mind. And the result is that someone who might have been put off coming again is returning, whilst the offender also will come again, with modified behaviour. mes meilleurs f?licitations ? tous les copains, John -- > > Thanks, > Nelle > > PS: Both AFPy and PyconFR have code of conducts, so we are not concerned > about this new rule.

There will be two days of talks, and we will hold sprints on the 4th & 5th of October. We are currently accepting proposals for talks. If you would like to give a presentation, please register at http://za.pycon.org/ and submit your proposal, following the instructions at http://za.pycon.org/talks/submit-talk . We hope to notify accepted presenters by no later than the 7th of September. The presentation slots will be 30 minutes long, with an additional 10 minutes for discussion at the end. Shared sessions are also possible. The presentations will be in English. In addition to talks, we are also looking for proposals for tutorials, demos and open spaces. Tutorials are intended to be more in-depth introductions to a topic with a limited number of attendees. Tutorial sessions can be up to 90 minutes long. Demos are cool things for attendees to see and interact with. Open spaces are open discussion forums where communities with a common interest gather to present views, ask questions and meet people interested in the topic. There's no need to register a sprint topic upfront, but doing so allows us to advertise them during the conference. -- Neil Muller On behalf of the PyConZA organising committee
