We are finally opening the registration for the SciPy 2009 conference. It took us time, but the reason is that we made careful budget estimations to bring the registration cost down.
We are very happy to announce that this year registration to the conference will be only $150, sprints $100, and students get half price! We made this effort because we hope it will open up the conference to more people, especially students that often have to finance this trip with little budget. As a consequence, however, catering at noon is not included.
This does not mean that we are getting a reduced conference. Quite on the contrary, this year we have two keynote speakers. And what speakers: Peter Norvig and Jon Guyer! Peter Norvig is the director of research at Google and Jon Guyer is a research scientist at NIST, in the Thermodynamics and Kinetics Group, where he leads a fiPy, a finite element project in Python.
As far as I know, it's actually a finite *volume* solver.
Darn, I did it again. Although I know the difference[*], I keep mixing up the words. Thanks for correcting (and making me look ridiculous), Ondrej. Gaël [*] Thanks to my girlfriend ;)
