<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

<li>Regarding the name “PyCon Africaâ€, 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>

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or

<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>
