<p>Hi Wachiou,</p>
<p>that's a great way to move forward. Perhaps you can launch a
PyCon Togo after having gained more experience with the PyDay
events.</p>
<p>Could you send a new event entry once you have a website up for
the PyDay Togo ?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Marc-Andre,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your comments and recommendations.<br>
<br>
To comply with PSF requirements, we have taken the decision to
rename our event to “PyDay Togo” as you suggested. This event is
a local gathering where we will share learnings and feedback
from PyCon Africa 2024, while launching our local community of
Python Togo developers (PyDevs Togo).<br>
<br>
We do not plan to officially use the Python logo for this event,
as we are not making an official extension of PyCon, but a
return to the event in our country. As such, we will make sure
that the communication respects the PSF policy on the use of the
logo.<br>
<br>
We have already begun to prepare communications for the event
with the new name and will continue to do so.<br>
<br>
We thank you once again for your support and do not hesitate to
let us know if we need any further information on this subject.<br>
<br>
Yours sincerely<br>
<br>

<p>Hi Wachiou,</p>
<p>thank you for the added information.</p>
<p>Please note that events using the term "PyCon" are
subject to the PSF trademark policy: <a href="https://www.python.org/psf/trademarks/pycon/" target="_blank">PSF PyCon
Trademark Usage Policy</a> (see <a href="https://www.python.org/psf/trademarks-faq/" target="_blank">PSF Trademark
Frequently Asked Questions</a> for more information).</p>
<p>This means that you will have to request permission from
the PSF TM committee if you want to use the name.</p>
<p>Given that you are running a smaller event, it may make
sense to use a different name to avoid the hassles, e.g.
"PyDay Togo" or something similar, which does not have
those processes attached (you still need to comply to the
PSF logo policy if you want to reuse the Python logo).<br>
</p>
<p>I have put Mannie Young on CC to comment on this.</p>
<p>PS: I'm also co-chair of the PSF trademark committee,
which is why I'm raising this here.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

I appreciate your response and warm consideration
for our event at PyCon Africa Extended Togo 2024.<br>
<ul>
<li>About the URL: Here's the link to the official
event page <a href="<a href="https://lu.ma/runpiv8k" target="_blank">https://lu.ma/runpiv8k</a>">PyCon
Africa Extended Togo 2024</a></li>
</ul>

<li>Regarding the name “PyCon Africa”, I would
like to point out that Mr. Mannie, President of
PyCon Africa, has given me his permission to
carry out such an initiative under this name. As
a member of the PyCon Africa Organizing
Committee (IOC), I'm doing my best to capture
all the knowledge and wisdom shared at the main
conference and bring it back to our local
community.</li>
</ul>
<br>
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any
questions or additional information. Let me take
this opportunity to thank you for supporting this
event and I hope it will help to develop the Python
community in Togo.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,</div>

<p>Hi Wachiou,</p>
<p>please provide a URL. Without this, we cannot
add the event.</p>
<p>Also: Since you are using the name "PyCon
Africa" please also add information on whether
you have permission from the PyCon Africa
organizers to do so. If this is just a local
user group meeting title, that's fine without
permission. In that case we'd need the name of
the meetup to clarify this to users.<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks.<br>
