[Conferences] Pycon for Antananarivo

[Vicky Lee - Python Ireland]

Hi,

At this point I have three quetions;

> 1. Do we have to establish a formal association for pycon in Antananarivo
>
How we did it for PyCon Ireland, we formed a Python Ireland Committee, this
is an umbrella for all events including PyCon Ireland. Python Ireland
Committee also set up a bank account. We also have a PyCon Ireland
Committee, a subgroup of Python Ireland.

 2. Can we legally use the name pycon for the conferences or is it a free
> to use name

You can ask the US PyCon folks, afaik, we just decided to have PyCon
Ireland and started to talk to other PyCon organisers (John Pinnar from
PyConUK and Steve Holden) at the time.

But re. money, ask local companies and big companies that have a big
influence in your country for sponsorship. You can request PSF for funding,
as another email mentioned, contact Jesse Noller.

Cheers,
