From c7e4bbde0c1a092916fbe902244d5acae3b763d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Iqbal Abdullah Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2015 23:01:43 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Responsibilities of PyCon APAC community 2 points in my PR here: 1. Let's be clear on the responsibilities that the PyCon APAC _committee_ will hold, which gives it the _right_ to endorse certain parties to hold the conference 1. Although I get what this is trying to do, as we're not a registered legal entity ourselves, I do not think it is appropriate to set as a requirement that the organizers are also registered entities. This also needlessly raises the bar for new comers: Nearly of us started our PyCon adventure as individuals getting together and that didn't make the conference less good as compared to with a legal entity. --- guideline/cfh.md | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/guideline/cfh.md b/guideline/cfh.md index 08cdde8..c34af1e 100644 --- a/guideline/cfh.md +++ b/guideline/cfh.md @@ -23,6 +23,8 @@ help run PyCon Asia Pacific in 2017 in a location they are local to.
