Call for Proposals

Portions of our Call for Proposals page were drawn from ideas seen on DjangoCon EU, SeaGL, Fog City Ruby, and others. Thanks to all for their inspiration and permission to borrow!

Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct was forked from the PyCon US Code of Conduct, including the staff and attendee guides, under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license, itself originally forked from the example policy from the Geek Feminism wiki, created by the Ada Initiative and other volunteers, which is under a Creative Commons Zero license.

Fiscal Sponsor

Our fiscal sponsor is Software Freedom Conservancy, a 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to the promotion and development of free and open source software. Conservancy allows us to work without managing our own corporate structure and administrative services. Our relationship with Conservancy goes beyond logistics, though, as we are also philosophically aligned as we work to advance software freedom and expand the Python developer community.

Our Logo

Our logo is a pythonic tribute to the rolling green hills of Sonoma County. It is inspired by Bliss, a photo made famous as the default background from Windows XP. Bliss was photographed 16 miles from Downtown Petaluma.

Free and Open Source Software

We use as much free and open source software as we can, including:

  • Django is the web framework that underpins everything else.
  • Symposion is used for the call for proposals and session scheduling.
  • Registrasion is used for ticket sales.
  • Inkscape is used to create most of our graphics.
  • TimVideos.us is used to stream and record conference talks.
