Recording Release Agreement

Part of the motivation for PyCon is to help with Python education and advocacy around the world, not just in the United States. Accordingly, We intend to record all PyCon presentations and release the recordings on the web. By submitting your talk or tutorial proposal, or by signing up to give a lightning talk, you agree to give permission to the Python Software Foundation to record, edit, and release audio and/or video of your presentation.

To cut down on administration, no exceptions will be made. If you don't want to give the PSF permission to record your presentation and release the recording, do not submit a proposal.

You agree to the following legalese, which certifies that you are the author of your presentation, or otherwise allowed to present it at PyCon, and it allows the PSF 1) to perform the necessary audio and video editing needed to prepare your presentation, and 2) to distribute the recordings to other people, including on YouTube, Blip.tv, Google Video and other video sites. It also allows other people to watch the recordings.

Legalese:

    I certify that I, the Submitter, am authorized to license this proposal
    and its associated presentation (the "User Submission") to the Python
    Software Foundation (the "PSF") for use in association with PyCon 2010.
    Specifically:

    - Submitter hereby grants the PSF a worldwide, royalty-free, fully
