________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING

Central Python Events Calendars

maintained by the Python Software Foundation (PSF) and a group of volunteers

________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION

The PSF has put together a team of volunteers who are maintaining a central Python events calendar. 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 http://pycon.org/ and in a smaller version in the sidebar of the http://python.org/ website (at the moment only the main events calendar is shown there).

________________________________________________________________________ ADDING EVENTS

If you want to have entries added to those calendars, please write to events@pycon.org and include the following information:

* Name of the event * Type of the event (conference, bar camp, user group, etc) * Focus on Python * URL * Location and country * Date and time (if relevant)

For recurring events, please also include a description of the recurrence in a way that's compatible and supported by Google calendars.

________________________________________________________________________ MORE INFORMATION

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

Enjoy,
