We would not want any blatant plugs in your tutorial, there was some
abuse at last year's PyCon US and it caused some bad feeling.

Speaking for myself, I see no harm in you saying who you work for and
what you do (it's useful background after all), and having a handout
if people want to know more.

You could of course ask your boss if he would like to be a formal
sponsor of EP, and have your logo on the website, with links to the
sponsors' page and your website.

(Resolver Systems are sponsoring the IronPython tutorial for example.)

There is a sponsors' brochure available if you are interested.

Best wishes,

John
