Subject: [PSF-Community] Invitation to PSF Trademarks Working Group
Message-ID: <CAEbHw4YfPTmWu7=4BHhNsFGeHUPO9PRgeX+ecZ+K1QEWvCy3Jg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Community,

Through the inevitable attribution process of volunteer groups, our very
important Trademarks Working Group has much less participation than we
would like to have.

So this is an invitation for community members to help out by joining the
committee.  Basically, your responsibilities involve reading the Trademark
Usage Policy, maybe skimming the old archive to get a sense of our concerns
and standards, and responding to maybe 6-7 emails a month to help judge
whether we can authorize a given trademark usage.

Let me know to volunteer.  We'd like a few people who can reasonably commit
to keep an eye on it for a reasonably long continuous period of time (say
the next year).  But it's a low-work ongoing commitment, and is really
central to the PSF's mission.

Yours, David Mertz
Co-chair Python Software Foundation Trademarks Committee

-- 
Keeping medicines from the bloodstreams of the sick; food
from the bellies of the hungry; books from the hands of the
uneducated; technology from the underdeveloped; and putting
advocates of freedom in prisons.  Intellectual property is
to the 21st century what the slave trade was to the 16th.

I would be interested, but may I know some more reponsibilities.

Count me in. I?d be happy to move from the job-board team to help this out for a change. I feel the job board team has things pretty much under control.

Let me know what the next step is.

Thanks Rhys,

I'll add you to the mailing list right now.  After I get a few others, I'll
put a formal motion to the PSF Board of Directors to certify the current
committee membership.

Is the address you emailed from the best one to use for mailing list
membership?

Some resources to glance at:

    https://www.python.org/psf/trademarks/

I forgot to mention that we also sometimes handle the "PyCon" trademark:

    https://www.python.org/psf/trademarks/pycon/

You should get a subscription invitation, and once you accept, you should
have access to:

    https://mail.python.org/mailman/private/psf-trademarks/

We're just today working on making it more formal with a charter.  A draft
is at:


https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i56-4vHJHuft3dXFi6Ce-Jy-24EV2GlH6bELmdjVOWQ/edit?usp=sharing

Best wishes, David...

As someone who's worked on this committee, I would say that the questions
that come along are often interesting, and the work can give you valuable
insight into a less-technical part of Python's governance. It relies on the
common sense of its members to consistently apply policy in a way that
benefits Python and its communities.

Thanks to everyone who's volunteering.

Kind regards,
Steve

Thank you so much, everyone who has contacted me!

We have several new volunteers. In fact, probably a couple more than is
entirely optimal for the committee, but I am so delighted to be working
with new people.  But for now, I'm going to suspend the offer to join, and
see how we work with the new members for a few months.

Yours, David Mertz...
