You can ask the PSF for fiscal sponsorship: https://wiki.python.org/moin/FiscalSponsorship We're doing this for a couple of user groups in the US and it's rather easy to set up. Apart from that, please have a look at these pages on the wiki: https://wiki.python.org/moin/AdvocacyWritingTasks/RunningAConference https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEvents Thanks, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg Director Python Software Foundation (PSF) http://www.python.org/psf/ _______________________________________________ pydotorg-www mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
