EuroPython 2016: Extra Hot Topics - Call for Proposals
by M.-A. Lemburg 30 Apr '16

30 Apr '16

The Program work group is happy to announce that there will be an extra Call for Proposals early in June. This call is limited to hot topics and most recent developments in software and technology. Why is there a second call ? ---------------------------- Planning a big conference is a challenge: On one hand people like to know what will be on our talk schedule to make up their mind and make travel arrangements early. On the other hand technology is progressing at the speed of light these days. So what’s the solution ? Attend anyway - EuroPython is always a great idea ! Seriously, we have given this some thought and decided to make another extra Call for Proposals just weeks before the conference. This CfP is strictly reserved for * hot topics * emerging technologies * brand new developments in software & hardware * recent results in research and science Some suggestions for topics: * Exciting new hardware & Internet of Things * Robotics * Virtual Reality * AI & Deep Learning This call will be open for nine days only: *** Saturday June 4th 0:00 to Sunday June 12th 24:00 CEST *** The program work group will select the most exciting and intriguing submissions and will notify the winners on short notice. With gravitational regards, -- EuroPython 2016 Team http://ep2016.europython.eu/ http://www.europython-society.org/

by Chris Warrick 29 Apr '16

29 Apr '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Nikola v7.7.8. It fixes some bugs and adds new features. What is Nikola? =============== Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python. It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown — and can even turn Jupyter (IPython) Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image galleries, and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds are extremely fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what has been changed). Find out more at the website: https://getnikola.com/ Downloads ========= Install using `pip install Nikola` or download tarballs on GitHub and PyPI: https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/releases/tag/v7.7.8 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Nikola/7.7.8 Changes ======= Features - -------- * Template-based shortcodes now receive positional arguments too (Issue #2319) Bugfixes - -------- * Use state files in ``nikola github_deploy`` and ``nikola status`` (Issue #2317) * Add ``align`` options for ``youtube``, ``vimeo``, ``soundcloud`` reST directives (Issue #2304) * Update ``FILE_METADATA_REGEXP`` example in docs (Issue #2296) * Show “tags too similar” error instead of cryptic doit crash (Issue #2325) * Fix crashes when tag appears multiple times in a post (Issue #2315) * Use binary I/O for ``.svg`` files in galleries * Accept ``.svgz`` extension by default * Don't randomly load plugins when Nikola is called with no arguments (Issue #2297) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJXI1apAAoJEHECPb1equoWgeIIALxauzCz6S8V4p+CZALWoQzf 8c/bJjtlbyHqjRiIuioaPgH6dPQxIFUBFFfZ1p5seHXT11/cRuoSs91xDGJUWbbq sHq/RNLr8sjAumzPuknYVRtuelfYKja5w1LNSuLeQmZmesNuK4DjGiwoSWHs2En8 a2pbniQjVA3AQ24iyuFu3zUGJLC9fB8YEgNNN3TjfecF+7/UI7koYNm1CpZIZU0n t7yUG2COUOnteLWtqNj3X0AV8ThYKtH7loSD6hLnhwLmmzP30GxsWVOLBMC4hA1e UMMUq9KatXUUdBofJe5Gg3IOI+uk1dUx/VoQOF0pQHDF/AtsxQiSPzERiQn3LuM= =/Ry1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
