1. Invitation to PSF Trademarks Working Group (David Mertz)

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
