Hi Twisters, Marc-Andre Lemburg from the PSF has been taking care of a Python events calendar for a while. It now has a twitter feed making it easier to find new events. If you're doing any Python-related events, such as of course Twisted sprints, or maybe Python user group meetups, please don't hesitate to contact the PSF to get your event added. M.-A.'s e-mail as been forwarded below. hth lvh ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: M.-A.

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. You can subscribe to the calendars using iCal and RSS feeds and also embed the calendar widgets on your sites. Please see our wiki page for details: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEventsCalendar The calendars are open to the world-wide Python community, so you can have local user group events, as well as regional and international conference events added to the calendars. ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS We have now created a Twitter feed for the calendars, which you can follow to get updates on all newly added events: https://twitter.com/pythonevents The tweets come with links to the event listings, which you can add to your own Google calendars with a single click. ________________________________________________________________________ ADDING EVENTS If you want to have entries added to those calendars, please write to events@python.org and include the following information: * Name of the event * Type of the event (conference, bar camp, user group, etc) * Focus on Python and approximate size * 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: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEventsCalendar Enjoy, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg Director Python Software Foundation http://www.python.org/psf/ _______________________________________________ psf-members-announce mailing list psf-members-announce@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/psf-members-announce
