Apply now for the Python in Astronomy 2016 conference! (21-25th March 2016)
Dear colleagues, We are very pleased to inform you that applications are now open for the Python in Astronomy 2016 conference: Python in Astronomy University of Washington eScience Institute Seattle, WA, USA 21-25th March 2016 http://python-in-astronomy.github.io/2016/ This meeting aims to bring together researchers, Python developers, users, and educators, and will include presentations, tutorials, unconference sessions, and coding sprints. In addition to sharing information about state-of-the-art Python Astronomy packages, the workshop will also focus on improving interoperability between astronomical Python packages, providing training for new contributors, and developing educational materials for Python in Astronomy. The meeting is therefore aimed not only at current developers, but also users and educators who are interested in being involved in these efforts. Note that this meeting is not intended to be a Python 'boot camp', and we do expect participants to have already at least used Python for some of their projects, even if only at a beginner level. To apply, please go to the following page: http://python-in-astronomy.github.io/2016/ and follow the link to the application form. Applications should be submitted by 9th October 2015 at the latest, and we hope to let you know by mid- to late November whether you have been accepted. Contingent on sponsorship, we hope to offer financial support for travel for a few participants. If you would like to apply for financial support, please indicate this in the last section of the application form. Please forward this email to anyone who may be interested! Best regards, The organizing committee: Kelle Cruz Perry Greenfield Eric Jeschke Mario Juric Stuart Mumford Chanda Prescod-Weinstein Thomas Robitaille Megan Sosey Erik Tollerud Jake Vanderplas
