    <p>Hi Wachiou,</p>
    <p>thanks for the update. I've now added the event to the main
      calendar. We'd normally add events with fewer attendees to the
      user group calendar, but perhaps putting it on the main calendar
      will give it a slight boost.</p>
    <p>Thanks,</p>

                <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

                      permission from the PSF TM committee if you want
                      to use the name.</p>
                    <p>Given that you are running a smaller event, it

                      the hassles, e.g. "PyDay Togo" or something
