Review Actions Items from Last Meeting

Action Item	Owner	Relevant links	Completed

New Business

• PyLadiesSF logo update
  • concerns over font - didn't use pyladies wordmark
  • should we forward to PSF trademark committee? we're not experts in trademark law
  • AI: @JUpani to reply to PyLadiesSF and including PSF trademark committee
• Publish 2025 POA winners
  • need to publish winners on the kit and the blog
  • previous publish PRs: kits, blog
  • AI: @MmeMarieLouise to complete; will send the council a draft ASAP
• (FYI) Changes to funding request spreadsheet (administrative columns for tracking/paper trail)

Old Business: Follow up items from prior meeting:

• Chapter Sticker Policy
  • current approach is not sustainable - lynn just shipping whenever someone requests
  • establish a policy: when to ship/not ship, do we want to just have a designated budget
  • idea:
    • have one yearly "call for sticker orders" around PyCon US
    • require low shipping costs or have someone pick up at PyCon US
    • require request via sponsorship request form
    • loose limit of $50 per chapter, would be about 200-250 2" stickers at our scale
    • OK for chapters to want their own custom sticker (and not just global stickers)
    • AI: @econchick to draft this policy in kit for council review
• PyLadies website update
  • had a meeting - have 3 contenders for the framework
    • trying to go as far as possible with mkdocs with material theme (other frameworks: astro or hugo)
    • splitting up work; have a private repo setup
      • as soon as we get to a point that we're good to go forward w/ framework, then open up repo for contributions
      • once the new site is ready to be deployed, then merge it into existing repo
    • lynn's concerns over not doing it in existing repo from the beginning:
      • preserve git commit history of the new repo when merging into existing repo
        • AI: @BethanyG to make a ticket reflecting this
      • make it SUPER explicit with new repo, once made public, that it's not the website that's deployed
    • hoping for CiviCRM link for member registration
    • will put out a call for chapter logos
    • need footer links
    • need decision for chapter directory
    • need decision for where call to action links lead to
    • need decision to approach for chapter pages - want to make it easy for a chapter to put info in one place and have things magically made for them, or do we want minimal chapter info and links out to each websites
• Governance update - first draft of PyLadies Chapter
  • current status: lots of bullets, some sections missing
    • lynn needs more help
  • need someone(s) to take on Tania's items she originally assigned herself on
  • AI: @MmeMarieLouise to be the "road manager"
  • AI: @BethanyG to take on some of the items Tania signed up for
  • for next meeting:
    • initial first draft
    • flesh everything out so that it's reviewable
    • turn bullets into prose
    • fill in empty sections
• delegating social media mgmt
  • denny asked for access for PyLadiesCon cross-posts
    • maybe she could take on more of the general pyladies social media posting? :D
    • AI: @econchick to ask denny if she's interested
  • lynn created a blue sky account for pyladies
  • AI: create a general PyLadies account for Reddit for moderating @BethanyG
  • AI: add bluesky account to pyladies website @BethanyG

@BethanyG thank you! Could you please let me know if currently there is any responsible for the PyLadies Paris ? Does they do have their own PyLadies chapter website? Thank you in advance

Hi @fran-odc 👋🏽 Yes - AFAK, there is an active PyLadies Paris chapter, although I am not sure if there is a website.
