Hello all,
The 2017 Python in Astronomy conference will be held on 8th - 12th May
2017 at the Lorentz Center in Leiden, the Netherlands. For more
information see http://openastronomy.org/pyastro/2017/.
Python in Astronomy 2017 aims to bring a wide variety of people who
currently use, develop or teach people about Python packages in the
context of all forms of Astronomy. The conference will include
presentations, tutorials, unconference sessions, and sprints. As well as
building the community around astronomical uses of Python, the
conference aims to improve collaboration and interoperability between
Python packages and share knowledge on Python packages and techniques.
It will also provide training and educational materials for users and
developers of Python packages.Participant selection will be made with
the goal of growingthe Python in Astronomy community and we particularly
encourage requests to attend from junior astronomers and people who are
new to contributing to open source software.
