Some people may see "Fanatical Support" and cringe at it as marketing: it's really not. It's a company core value, and baked into the DNA of every person in the company from HR, to IT, support, engineering - customers, developers, etc are n

I know of one unofficial Go SDK in the works. When we fully support an SDK we really support it by dedicating headcount to those SDKs. Things are obviously still evolving, and Go support is definitely on my wish list.

I will pass this on to the team; I concur that developer/testing signup and on-boarding presents a barrier to entry for developers to try things out and get started. In order to truly support developers the process must present a minimal am

This is a tough one, but I'll give it a stab. On a high level, Rackspace from the top brass, to individual engineers and developers really do believe in promoting and pushing Open Source, Open Standards and Open Design. This is why so muc

Ironically, I've seen this on pages with JS on Chrome/OSX - something to do with the webkit framework/chrome going bonkers. It keeps getting worse/popping up on other pages too. The only thing that seems to fix it is a hard reboot. I got

I didn't have pushback. I didn't like the "Wall of Shame" name.

I know of one you can sponsor! ;) https://us.pycon.org/2013/ - https://us.pycon.org/2013/sponsors/whysponsor/ and a recent write up by one of our year over year supporters: http://pycon.blogspot.com/2012/12/why-become-pycon-sponsor-s..

The numbers disagree with you assertion(s) - we have increased sponsorship due to the actions taken, we have increased the number of female presenters/speakers, and we have an astounding number of thank you's from women within the community

And how is offering guidelines for inappropriate behavior including explicit guidelines for conflict resolution trampling on your rights to free speech at a private event ? I guess harassment falls under free speech. My bad dog.

I don't think we're policing anyone like children. At least I hope not, I don't have time for that. But the reality is that we live in a time where explicit trumps implicit social norms, for example: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Time

This was stated elsewhere; but the PSF is taking a stance wherein it does not condone harassment and discrimination for events it provides money and support to even if the local standard is to allow for those social norms.

by jnoller 14y ago
Correct. And due to having things like this in place, our sponsorship for PyCon has grown, as has the number of female speakers and attendees. It's a net win for everyone.

I explained why the foundation should take an active role here: http://jessenoller.com/blog/2012/12/7/the-code-of-conduct - read the whole thing, especially the points about sponsorship and branding.

Fwiw, I'm not the chairman of the PSF, just one of a handful of directors. Van Lindberg is chairman. I am however chair for PyCon and I am responsible for pushing this through.
