EuroPython 2018: Schedule available
by M.-A. Lemburg July 3, 2018

July 3, 2018

Over the last few weeks, our program WG has been working hard on getting the schedule all lined up. Today, we’re releasing it to the Python world. Schedule for EuroPython 2018 * https://ep2018.europython.eu/en/events/schedule/ * With 140 speakers and more than 150 sessions, we have a full packed program waiting for you. Please note that the schedule may still change in details, but the overall layout is fixed now. Book your EuroPython 2018 Ticket -------------------------------- Please make sure you book your ticket in the coming days. We will switch to late bird rates closer to the event. If you want to attend the training sessions, please buy a training pass. We only have very few left and will close sales for these later this week. Travel & accommodation tips --------------------------- Since we’re close the conference and The Fringe is starting a week later, Edinburgh is in high demand. If you’re having problems finding a hotel, please also consider searching for apartments on the well known booking sites. For traveling to Edinburgh, we suggest also considering a combination of plane and train or bus. London, Birmingham and Manchester all provide train and bus lines going to Edinburgh and by booking a combination, you can often save a lot, compared to a direct flight to Edinburgh. Help spread the word -------------------- Please help us spread this message by sharing it on your social networks as widely as possible. Thank you !

July 2, 2018

What is cx_Oracle? cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that enables access to Oracle Database for Python 3.x and 2.x and conforms to the Python database API 2.0 specifications with a number of enhancements. Where do I get it? https://oracle.github.io/python-cx_Oracle The easiest method to install/upgrade cx_Oracle is via pip as in python -m pip install cx_Oracle --upgrade What's new? This release adds support for grouping notifications to subscriptions and adds support for getting notifications when AQ messages are available to be dequeued. Support was also added for timed waits when acquiring sessions from a session pool and for setting the values of the timeout and maximum lifetime attributes of a pool when it is created. Cursors can now be used as context managers and a number of other enhancements and bug fixes were made. See the release notes for more information. http://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releasenotes.html#version-6-4-jul… Please provide any feedback via GitHub issues ( https://github.com/oracle/python-cx_Oracle/issues).

EuroPython 2018: Community Discounts
by M.-A. Lemburg July 1, 2018

July 1, 2018

The EuroPython Society (EPS) extended its mission last year to not only run the EuroPython conference, but also provide help for the Python community in Europe in general. Let’s all meet at EuroPython ---------------------------- In addition to the Python Organizers Lunch (see previous post), which focuses on conference organizers, we are also establishing a program to support attendees of Python user groups and conferences in Europe. We’d like to invite all of you to EuroPython 2018 this year. Of course, we cannot give out free tickets to everyone, but we can at least recognize your participation in the Python community by giving out discounts for the conference. Discounts for EuroPython Tickets -------------------------------- If you are running a Python event (conference or user group) in Europe, please reach out to board(a)europython.eu to request a coupon code for your group, which you can then pass on to your group members or attendees. If you are not running a user group or conference, but a regular attendee of one, please contact your organizers to have them submit a request. We can only distribute codes at the user group and conference organizer level. The coupon codes are valid for conference tickets bought starting today and will give you a 10% discount on the ticket price (both regular and late bird prices). The codes are setup for user group sizes of between 30-50 members, but we are also extending this to organizers and attendees of larger conferences. If you need a code valid for larger groups, please mention this in your email. Help spread the word -------------------- Please help us spread this message by sharing it on your social networks as widely as possible. Thank you !

by M.-A. Lemburg July 1, 2018

July 1, 2018

The EuroPython Society (EPS), who is organizing the EuroPython conference, last year extended it’s mission to also provide help for the Python community in Europe in general. As part of this, we would like to get to know, and help create closer ties between organizers of other European Python events. Organizers’ Lunch ----------------- We would like to invite representatives of all European Python conference to EuroPython 2018 to join us for an organizers’ lunch. We’re planing the lunch for Friday, July 27, in the organizer’s room (Soutra Suite). Our aim is to get to know each other, exchange experience in organizing events and to find out how we, as EPS, can most effectively help other conferences going forward. Free Tickets ------------ To support and facilitate this, we are giving out one free conference ticket per conference team, so that each team can send a representative to the organizers’ lunch. If your team wants to send someone to join, please write to board(a)europython.eu, mentioning the conference you’re organizing and some background on your team. Help spread the word -------------------- Please help us spread this message by sharing it on your social networks as widely as possible. Thank you !
