Thanks for speaking up Jeff. Isnt Pycon-India sponsored and supported by the PSF - The board resolution now mandates the CoC be implemented by all Python conferences and events funded by them. From, http://pyfound.blogspot.in/2012/12/psf-moves-to-require-code-of-conduct.html </quote> The first resolution passed by the board serves as the Foundation’s recommendation that all Python conferences and related events create and apply a Code of Conduct. The board unanimously agreed on this point, suggesting that publicly documented expectations and plans of action are necessary when planning and running an event in our community. The second resolution passed by the board serves as the Foundation’s requirement that all Python conferences and related events create and apply a Code of Conduct. Without a code in place, the Foundation will not fund the event. </unquote> Regards, Vid ॥ http://svaksha.com ॥ _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
