Dear Community,
For the PythonFOSDEM [1] on 4th and 5th February in Belgium, I would
like to present some slides with the Python events around the World.
Based on https://python.org/events, I have noted that there are missing
events, for example:
* PyCon Otto: Italy
* PyCon UK: United Kingdom
* PyCon CA: Canada
* PyCon Ireland: Ireland
* PyCon France: France
Some of these events are not yet announced and I understand they are in
the second semester, and thus, they don't know the location and the
dates, excepted for PyCon Otto (April).
In fact, I have noted that we know some big events in the Python
community (for example: PyCon US and EuroPython) but do you know the
others events, maybe the local event, PyCon IE, PyCon UK or PyCon IT.
I like to know where there is a PyCon or a Django Conf or a PyData Event.
In fact, I think we can help the Python Community if we submit all the
events in https://python.org/events.
This page has been created by the PSF and is maintained by some
volunteers.
I know this list of events:
* PyCon Cameroon : 20-23 Jav, Cameroon
* PythonFOSDEM : 4-5 Feb, Belgium
* PyCon Colombia : 10-12 Feb, Colombia
* PyCon Pune : 16-20 Feb, India
* Swiss Python Summit : 17-18 Feb, Switzerland
* IrPyCon : 17-18 Feb, Iran
* PyCon SK : 10-13 Mar, Slovakia
* Django Europe : 3-8 Apr, Italy
* PyCon Otto : 6-9 Apr, Italy
* Python Sudeste : 5-7 Mai, Brazil
* GeoPython : 8-11 May, Switzerland
* PyCon US : 17-26 May, USA
* EuroPython : July, Italy
* PyCon AU : 3-9 Aug, Australia
* PyCon UK : September, United Kingdom
* PyCon CA : November, Canada
* PyCon Ireland : October, Ireland
* PyCon FR : October/November, France
And you ?
Please, could you check on https://www.python.org/events/ , if you are
an organizer, please add your event.
If you think there is a missing event, please, send me the info via
[email](mailto:stephane@wirtel.be) or via my [twitter
account](https://twitter.com/matrixise) and I will add it on my slides.
I would like to present your event.
Thank you so much for your help.

ANNOUNCING
Python Events Calendars - Please submit your 2017 events
maintained by the Python Software Foundation (PSF)
and a group of volunteers
________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
As some of you may know, the PSF has a team of volunteers who are
maintaining a set of central Python event calendars. We currently have
two calendars in place:
* Python Events Calendar - meant for conferences and larger gatherings
focusing on Python or a related technology (in whole or in part)
* Python User Group Calendar - meant for user group events and other
smaller local events
The calendars are displayed on https://www.python.org/events/ and
http://pycon.org/. There's also a map mashup to show events near
you or get an overview of what currently going in the Python
community:
http://lmorillas.github.io/python_events/
You can subscribe to the calendars using iCal and RSS feeds and also
embed the calendar widgets on your sites. We have also added a
Twitter feed @PythonEvents to get immediate updates whenever a new
event is added. Please see our wiki page for details:
https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEventsCalendar
The calendars are open to the world-wide Python community, so you
can have local user group events, as well as regional and
international conference events added to the calendars.
________________________________________________________________________
NEWS
Looking back, the calendars have proven to be a great tool
for the Python community to connect, with more than 250 conferences
and more than a hundred of user group events listed since 2012.
We would therefore like to encourage everyone to submit their
2017 events, so that the Python community can get a better overview
over what's happening in Python land.
________________________________________________________________________
ADDING EVENTS
Please see the instructions at
https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEventsCalendar#Submitting_an_Event
for details on how to submit an event. We've made it really easy for
you: just need to send an email to our team address using the email
template we provide for this. Thanks.

MORE INFORMATION
More information on the calendars, the URLs, feed links, IDs, embedding,
etc. is available on the wiki:
