[PSF-Community] Invitation to PSF Trademarks Working Group

[David Mertz]

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:

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:

Best wishes, David...

not-yet born.  Vampiric capital and undead corporate persons abuse
the lives and control the thoughts of homo faber. Ideas, once born,
become abortifacients against new conceptions.
