Hello all,
at this year's EuroPython we'll have a new officially supported feature, the panel discussion, and we (I'm one of the organizers) thought it would be big fun to have a panel of core developers talk about the merits of computed gotos, micro benchmarks, adding fast-paths for integer, free lists, and all those nifty things that core devs do in their spare time ;-)
No, seriously, this is great stuff normal Python users never get to see and that's really a shame.
So my question to you: will some of you attend EuroPython this year and would you be willing to talk on a panel ?
Quick details:
- EuroPython 2016
- Location: Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain
- Dates: July 17-24
- CFP just opened: https://ep2016.europython.eu/en/call-for-proposals/ (and will close again in just two weeks)
- Everything else, just a click away: https://ep2016.europython.eu/
- For reference, last year: https://ep2015.europython.eu/
Cheers,

I'll quickly mention that I have organized Python implementation panels as PyCon US multiple times and they are always fun and generally well received by the audience.

Hi,
2016-02-19 17:35 GMT+01:00 M.-A. Lemburg mal@egenix.com:
No, seriously, this is great stuff normal Python users never get to see and that's really a shame.
This week, I wrote an article listing my contributions during 2015 Q3: https://haypo.github.io/contrib-cpython-2015q3.html
On Twitter, someone told me that my article was interesting. Honestly, I was surprised :-) I partially wrote this article because my employer requires that I justify that I effectively spend my time on CPython and not something else.
When I started to contribute to Python, a few years ago, I recall that there were nice reports of the python-dev mailing list. Recently, I read that Brett Canon was the author. I really liked them, since I was unable to follow such "high traffic" mailing list (everything is relative ;-)).
Just to say that I agree that we suck at communicating on enhancements of CPython, but also issues that we are fixing every day.
For example, I do spent non negligible time on fixing our CI (buildbot). But I wouldn't tell my mother that I'm doing that :-D
So my question to you: will some of you attend EuroPython this year and would you be willing to talk on a panel ?
I plan to attend EuroPython (by the way, I have to submit a talk, probably something around FAT Python ;-)), why not joining the panel.

It's not surprising that developers don't want to spend (too much) time on marketing their activities. The python-dev summaries were certainly a useful way to have people follow what's going on behind the scenes:
http://legacy.python.org/dev/summary/ http://legacy.python.org/dev/summary/channews.rdf (too bad those links don't work anymore)
The idea with the panel is to bring back some of the attention to the things done in core development.
So my question to you: will some of you attend EuroPython this year and would you be willing to talk on a panel ?

Thanks, Victor. I'll let our program workgroup know.

Hey, I am spaniard and I would love to go to EuroPython (I missed it last year) but it is too expensive for a freelance developer on a budget :-(.

We will have a finaid program as usual (not sure when that'll be announced, though) and if you are on a panel or speaker chances are higher that you'll get funding. Here's the page from last year:

Hi MAL,
I might be coming to EP this year. I couldn't make it last year, this year is looking better.
If I'm able to make it, I'm willing to participate in the panel discussion. I can talk a bit about Python security and my work on the PSRT.

Sounds good. I'll put in touch with Alexander Hendorf from our program workgroup.
