Rough Draft

Preamble

By now, if you're linked in to current Python / [Python Software Foundation News][1] you know that as of November 21, 2012 the [PSF now requires][2] that all conferences it sponsors, or provides grants to (and there are many), have a code of conduct in place. The exact wording of the reslution the PSF board ratified is this:

RESOLVED, that the PSF will only sponsor conferences that have or agree to create and publish a Code of Conduct/Anti Harassment guide for their conference. A basic template to work from has been generated by the Ada Initiative at [http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment/Policy][3]

Before I go much further; I'm going to state unequivocally that I am the one to blame (if you want to assign it as such) for this. I proposed, argued for it, put it on the agenda and argued for it vociferously during our meeting. However, the board approved it overwhelmingly as a body with a single abstension.

Additionally, as you read this, do not assume anything abou

A Sample Post

Hello there! This is a sample post — in reStructuredText! — for gist.io, a super-lightweight writing soapbox for hackers.

Now look up. Further. Above the post title. See that grey text with the gist ID?

Now back to me. That grey text is a link! Open that sucker in a new tab to see the source for this post. Also, I'm on a horse.

This is a major heading

PyCon 2013, occurring once again in sunny Santa Clara, California, will now be accepting all types of proposals through MONTH DAY, 2012. As with years past, we're looking forward to receiving your best proposals for tutorials, talks, and posters.

About PyCon 2013

The 2013 conference will run from XXXXXX to YYYYY at the Santa Clara Convention Center, just 15 minutes from San Jose, and one hour from San Francisco. On the schedule we have the main conference running Friday XXX through Sunday XXXXX, which is preceded by two days of tutorials and followed up by four days of sprints.

Continuing a trend started years ago, attendance records were once again broken last year, and the schedule was the best we've assembled. Can you help us top 2012?

Who Should Submit a Proposal?
