font-size: large;">On Friday, November 15, the board of the Foundation voted for Barry Warsaw to receive a Community Service Award for Q3 2013. Barry's involvement in the Python community recently reached a significant milestone, as he retired the Python 2.6 line with its final security release (<a href="http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.9/">2.6.9</a>). Since 2007, Barry acted as the release manager for 2.6, an instrumental release for a number of reasons, including working with the 3.x line to backport many features. He was simultaneously the 3.0 release manager at that time, which saw its first release two months after 2.6 came out.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Barry's involvement in the community extends long beyond contributions to the CPython project, into his work on the <a href="http://list.org/">GNU Mailman</a> project. He earned the <a href="http://www.tides.org/impact/awards-prizes/pizzigati-prize/winners/#warsaw">2008 Antonio Pizzagati Prize</a> for Software in the Public Interest for his work on Mailman, which has become the world's most popular mailing list software, seen all around the web. It's rare to find a mailing list out there that isn't managed by Mailman.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He has also been a contributor to the Debian and Ubuntu projects, recently becoming a Debian Member in June. He has spent a good bit of time on Ubuntu's shift to Python 3, mapping out dependencies and working with upstream projects to ensure a quality port of their codebase.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When he's not jamming on Python, he's jamming on a bass guitar.

If you were at <a href="http://www.anl.gov/">Argonne National Laboratory</a> last month for the workshop on resource intensive open clouds, you got a taste of progress. The workshop was organized by leaders from <a href="http://crc.nd.edu/">Notre Dame University</a>, <a href="http://www.internet2.edu/">Internet2</a>, and <a href="http://www.rackspace.com/">Rackspace</a>, in the interests of figuring out the next steps for the technical computing world, bridging old-world high performance computing with the new-world of cloud computing.<br /> <br /> I was invited to this workshop on behalf of the PSF, and was excited by the prospect of being involved in an open and collaborative environment, tasked with figuring out how all of these sides of the story could come together. Many of the attendees are using <a href="http://www.openstack.org/">OpenStack</a>, an open cloud computing platform implemented in Python, and Python was a key technology for many of them in other ways. It looks like OpenStack-based and community-owned open clouds will likely become key points as the group progresses towards a better landscape to solve their computing needs, and if the past is any indication, Python will remain an important piece of the software powering it.<br /> <br /> "The pace of innovation is accelerated and the diversity of solutions and approaches ensures that good solutions persist and not so good ones are quickly identified," said event organizer Paul Rad of Rackspace, on the topic of open and transparent workshops like this one.<br /> <br /> My hope for this group is that future workshops can leverage some of our leaders in Python's large scientific community, many of whom are undoubtedly facing the challenges this workshop set out to improve on. Feel free to contact me at <a href="mailto:brian@python.org">brian@python.org</a> if you're interested in contributing to future efforts.<br /> <br /> For more details on the workshop, see Paul's post on the subject at <a href="http://www.rackspace.com/blog/cloud-hpc-and-open-technologies-converge-to-fuel-research-innovation/">http://www.rackspace.com/blog/cloud-hpc-and-open-technologies-converge-to-fuel-research-innovation/</a>.

Thanks to <a href="http://www.coverity.com/">Coverity</a>, those volunteers have been pointed to many quality and security issues via <a href="https://scan.coverity.com/">Coverity Scan</a>, a service which finds defects in C/C++ and Java projects at no cost.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /> </span> <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> As the CPython project includes over 370,000 lines of C code*, accounting for 42% of the codebase, a lot of it lies outside of the analysis tools our community has created to work with Python code.

That code is now available on our website at <a href="http://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/">http://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/</a>. The content is included below:</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Python community is made up of members from around the globe with a diverse set of skills, personalities, and experiences. It is through these differences that our community experiences great successes and continued growth. When you're working with members of the community, we encourage you to follow these guidelines which help steer our interactions and strive to keep Python a positive, successful, and growing community.</span> </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A member of the Python community is:</span> </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Open</b></span> </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Members of the community are open to collaboration, whether it's on PEPs, patches, problems, or otherwise. We're receptive to constructive comment and criticism, as the experiences and skill sets of other members contribute to the whole of our efforts. We're accepting of all who wish to take part in our activities, fostering an environment where anyone can participate and everyone can make a difference.</span> </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Considerate</b></span></blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Members of the community are considerate of their peers -- other Python users. We're thoughtful when addressing the efforts of others, keeping in mind that often times the labor was completed simply for the good of the community. We're attentive in our communications, whether in person or online, and we're tactful when approaching differing views.</span> </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Respectful</b></span> </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Members of the community are respectful. We're respectful of others, their positions, their skills, their commitments, and their efforts. We're respectful of the volunteer efforts that permeate the Python community. We're respectful of the processes set forth in the community, and we work within them. When we disagree, we are courteous in raising our issues.</span> </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall, we're good to each other. We contribute to this community not because we have to, but because we want to. If we remember that, these guidelines will come naturally.</span></blockquote> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What follows is text similar to the justification which was sent to our voting members, which serves as an introduction for why the Foundation wants to promote a code, along with details of why the code is written how it is, and how this code can be used.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why implement a Code of Conduct?</span></h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Python language is just over 20 years old, and the Python Software Foundation is just over 10 years old. Overall, the Python community as we know it today, is fairly young. While the community has grown nicely over the years, we’re at a great point where we can see growth in a number of areas if we take care to be explicitly welcoming.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Python generally is a welcoming place. When it comes to code, developers are more than happy to work with anyone who is willing to take the time to contribute. When it comes to user groups, leaders are happy to have anyone who is willing to show up. When it comes to conferences, organizers are happy to receive talks from anyone willing to submit.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When it comes to those willing to jump into these areas of the community, we’re unbalanced and not seeing the true spectrum of the greater community. It’ll take time, but we can advance towards a more diverse representation, one that we see throughout the rest of the community being increasingly populated by women, students, and with the popularity of pocket-sized computers, children will soon be in the ranks. We think we can do this is in part by ensuring a consistent and healthy environment for those wanting to be a part of it.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What this Code of Conduct is</span></h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This Code of Conduct, or CoC, presents a set of traits that members of our community value and uphold. The traits are taken from the existing behaviors that we have experienced throughout our work around the community. These are traits that help get work done, help members feel included, and help Python succeed.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Python got to where it is by being open, and it’ll continue to prosper by remaining open. Being explicit about the many aspects of our openness will encourage participation and use by more people.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Python has experienced everything up through fanatical uptake, often attributed to the kindness and consideration of the community. It’s a home away from home for some. It got us this far and ensuring we remain as such will benefit everyone involved, old or new.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Python and just about everything associated with it runs thanks to the efforts of volunteers. In most cases, the same volunteers have been in their roles for years, thanks to a community that respects the time, effort, and contribution of all involved. We want to see those same contributors forge on while also growing more to join them. Python depends on this.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What this Code of Conduct is not</span></h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This CoC makes no attempt to tell a person what not to do. It’s not intended to be a checklist to make sure one is a good community member. It’s not a document of minimum standards, and it’s not a way to keep people out. No specific incident prompted the creation of this CoC.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This CoC should not be seen as something negative, and it’s not trying to change anything. Without this CoC, the Python community would continue on as it has since its inception. However, we think it’s time to be explicit in ensuring that everyone has a place in this community, and that is what the CoC is for.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Application of this Code of Conduct</span></h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The PSF supports and advocates for the use of the CoC throughout the community, but without adoption by specific areas, the CoC is merely a document that the Foundation is supportive of. The way it’s useful is that an area of the community can adopt the CoC and use it as a guideline for participation. It could be adopted by mailing lists, IRC channels, the bug tracker, user groups, sprints, and more.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For example, a mailing list could say that their membership should adhere to the CoC. Doing so sets an open, considerate, and respectful tone for the mailing list participants. It signals to everyone from first-timers to list veterans that the list is open to their ideas, is considerate of the efforts put forth, and will respectfully discuss the list’s topics. If that mailing list feels it is appropriate, they could choose to enact relevant policy around following the CoC. Sometimes a heated discussion may cross the line, so perhaps they ask particular parties to step back and observe for a bit to bring the discussion back on track.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first application of the CoC is by us, the Python Software Foundation. Our members are expected to uphold the CoC when using our mailing list, representing our foundation, and representing the Python community.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As of yesterday, the <a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas">python-ideas</a> mailing list administrators announced that members of that list should adhere to the CoC. They call for people not following the code to be made aware of what they’re doing, or to do so privately via the administrators. By letting them know, they can hopefully work on their actions and make for a better environment moving forward. They also state a policy that people repeatedly going against the code could be removed. As administrator Brett Cannon stated in his announcement of the CoC adoption, he recalled only one instance when removal would have been appropriate in the history of the list throughout its 6.5 year history. What the adoption hopefully signals is that newcomers and veterans alike should feel that they can jump right in to a welcoming group and share their latest ideas with the Python development community.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where does the code live?</span></h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/">http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/</a> is where you can find the CoC on the Python website.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The code itself lives at <a href="http://hg.python.org/coc/">http://hg.python.org/coc/</a>, with the initial revision pushed as changeset <a href="http://hg.python.org/coc/rev/689163936c9d">689163936c9d</a>.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This looks familiar...</span></h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you’re familiar with the codes of conduct for the <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/conduct">Ubuntu</a> and <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct">Fedora</a> projects, the “considerate” and “respectful” points exist in both of them, along with many other codes. When this CoC was written, it started off on paper with a big list of traits, which was eventually trimmed down to a small handful. After reading many other codes and similar documents, it was trimmed down further into the three traits we have today: open, considerate, and respectful. From there, original text was written in support of the traits.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Another familiarity may be with the PyCon Code of Conduct and the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">PSF’s tie to PyCon, but that’s only similar in that it’s also called a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Code of Conduct. That’s an entirely different document, written for </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">use at an in-person conference.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span> <h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Can we make changes to the code in the future?</span></h4> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes. Changes can be proposed as resolutions placed before the PSF’s Board of Directors, who may then vote on it. As was the case with the CoC itself, the board voted to approve that the wider membership would vote on the implementation, so depending on the change, that could also be the case.</span> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <span itemprop='name'>Brian Curtin</span> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2013/06/announcing-code-of-conduct-for-use-by.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2013/06/announcing-code-of-conduct-for-use-by.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2013-06-05T15:37:00-04:00'>6/05/2013 03:37:00 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-113535654'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8520&postID=400083396424268195&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/search/label/codeofconduct' rel='tag'>codeofconduct</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Tuesday, April 30, 2013</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='8520' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='5202988560896134239' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='5202988560896134239'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2013/04/welcome-newly-elected-members.html'>Welcome Newly Elected Members</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-5202988560896134239' itemprop='description articleBody'> <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Foundation recently held elections after PyCon 2013, and the results are in!</span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16.890625px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16.890625px;">All members of the PSF are nominated by an existing member for their work in the Python community.

Malcolm Tredinnick, core Django developer and longtime member of the PSF passed away this past weekend.<br /><br />Malcolm embodied the type of ideals that we all strive for in the Python community. He was known both for his code and for his kindness, for his intelligence and his humanity. Malcolm was a regular in the #django channel on IRC.

It was a hassle for our contributors, and a hassle for our administrators. Faxes fail, mail gets lost, and sometimes pictures or scans turn out poorly. It was time to find a more user-friendly solution, and the Foundation is happy to finally offer this electronic form.<br /> <br /> The new form is easy to fill out right on the site, guiding you through each of the required fields such as your name, bug tracker ID, address, and initial license. If you're signing the form on behalf of an organization, there's a check box to specify this, and then you are asked near the bottom to state your title in the organization. Lastly, your signature is either generated from your typed name, or you can draw your own or upload a signature file of your own.<br /> <br /> Once you submit the form, you'll receive an email from echosign.com to verify the email address you entered. Once you click to confirm your address, the form will be emailed to the PSF and will be recorded.<br /> <br /> We require all contributors to CPython to have a signed form, and we hope this makes it easier for potential contributors to join up and help make Python better. It's available just in time for <a href="https://us.pycon.org/2013/">PyCon</a> and the <a href="https://us.pycon.org/2013/community/sprints/projects/#core-python">CPython sprint</a> that will be occurring March 18 through 21 in Santa Clara, California.

We ask that no matter who you support in this matter, that you remain civil in your communications and actions.<br /> <br /> It is important that we maintain the positive and friendly atmosphere that Python is known for regardless of the situation at hand. <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <span itemprop='name'>Brian Curtin</span> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2013/02/asking-for-civility-during-our.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2013/02/asking-for-civility-during-our.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2013-02-15T21:28:00-05:00'>2/15/2013 09:28:00 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-113535654'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=8520&postID=5601136332657977616&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Thursday, February 14, 2013</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='8520' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='8130686100146055285' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='8130686100146055285'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2013/02/python-trademark-at-risk-in-europe-we.html'>Python trademark at risk in Europe: We need your help!</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-8130686100146055285' itemprop='description articleBody'> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"><i>For a French translation of this post, <a href="http://www.framablog.org/index.php/post/2013/02/15/python-help">click here</a>.</i></span></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For anyone who works in a company that has an office in a EU Community member state, we need your help.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">There is a company in the UK that is trying to trademark the use of the term "Python" for all software, services, servers... pretty much anything having to do with a computer. Specifically, it is the company that got a hold on the </span>python.co.uk<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> domain 13 years ago. At that time we weren't looking a lot at trademark issues, and so we didn't get that domain.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">This hasn't been an issue since then because the </span>python.co.uk<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> domain has, for most of its life, just forwarded its traffic on to the parent companies, </span>veber.co.uk<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> and </span>pobox.co.uk<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">. Unfortunately, Veber has decided that they want to start using the name "Python" for their server products.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We contacted the owners of </span>python.co.uk<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> repeatedly and tried to discuss the matter with them. They blew us off and responded by filing the community trademark application claiming the exclusive right to use "Python" for software, servers, and web services - everywhere in Europe. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We got legal counsel in the UK and we (the <a href="http://www.python.org/psf/">PSF</a>) are opposing the community trademark application, but our own trademark application hasn't yet matured. Accordingly, we are going with the trademark rights we have developed through using "Python" consistently over the past 20 years. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">According to our London counsel, some of the best pieces of evidence we can submit to the European trademark office are official letters from well-known companies "using PYTHON branded software in various member states of the EU" so that we can "obtain independent witness statements from them attesting to the trade origin significance of the PYTHON mark in connection with the software and related goods/services."

His leadership of the 2012 conference lead to the breaking of just about every record, from sponsorship counts to talk proposals received, on up through attendance and into revenues.

So far the kits have made their way to a few conferences since their purchase.
