<p>The <a href="/call-for-paper" title="EuroPython Conference Call for Paper">Call For Paper</a> is the moment when Europython organizers ask the European community to <strong>submit their proposals of the talks</strong> that will be given at the conference. If you think you have got an interesting topic to talk about, <strong>don't hesitate and send us an abstract</strong> following the <a href="/call-for-paper" title="EuroPython Call for Paper GuideLines">Call for Paper guidelines</a> suggested on this website.</p>
<p>This year, we are <strong>introducing 4-hours hands-on trainings</strong> during the conference, in addition to the regular tracks. During the submission, make sure to specify whether you are willing to change the talk into a 4-hour training. To compensate for the longer preparation required, speakers that will give a training will be rewarded with a <strong>free ticket</strong> and possibly also a small fee (crossing our fingers that the budget will allow this). Speakers of regular talks will instead benefit from a reduced conference fee.</p>
<p>Europython has been proving year after year to be a conference <em>made by</em> the community and <em>for</em> the community, and that's why this year we are happy to introduce the <a href="/talk-voting">community-based talk voting</a>. We will elaborate on this later on, so stay tuned!</p>
<p>We remind everybody that you can follow the updates on the conference, in addition to this blog, both on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/EuroPython/196457473701266">official Facebook page</a> and on the Twitter profile <a href="http://twitter.com/europython">@Europython</a>.</p>
<p>See you soon and...<strong>we're waiting for your abstracts</strong>!</p>
