I think, like Noufal pointed out in the meet on May 17th, we don't
want the event to be portrayed as a Python + Free/Libre Software
event. It might put off the developers (or companies) who extensively
use Python but aren't very interested in (contributing to) the
Free/Libre Software community.

I see that only PyCon US mentions being 'underwritten by the Python
Software Foundation'. I don't know if we can and should mention the
support being extended by PSF.
