Hello everyone - it's that time of year again where we plan the Pycon 2015 Language Summit.

Unfortunately, this year Michael will not be able to attend, so Larry Hastings and I will be organizing the Summit. If you're on this email, consider yourself invited!

*Please* let us know if you plan to attend so we can size the room and other amenities accordingly.

The Summit will be held on Wednesday, April 8th, from approximately 10am to 4pm. Location within the convention center is TBD. The Summit is free, although of course you are responsible for travel and hotel costs. If you are planning on attending Pycon, you must still register and pay for that separately, but Pycon attendance is *not* required if you're only interested in the Language Summit.

The topics of conversation will be largely "floor led". Python 3.5 will be in alpha release at the time, so I expect it to be a topic of conversation. I have a few ideas for some other topics, and I hope to brainstorm with Larry on how to make the Summit relevant for more people this year. Perhaps we have some plenary sessions in the morning, with breakouts into smaller "working groups" in the afternoon, with a final plenary catch up at the end of the day.

Your thoughts, suggestions, and interests are especially important, so please do respond with your feedback.

There is a page on the Pycon 2015 site for the Summit, although it's currently unresponsive for me:

We'll post additional details, topics, schedules, etc. as they become available.

I hope you can join us!

Cheers, -Barry
