For PSF conference grants, please see https://www.python.org/psf/grants/ Running a PyCon conference usually requires building a team of people to run the show. Once you're ready, please ping me or the PSF board (psf at python.org) and we can then take it from there :-) Thanks, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg Director Python Software Foundation http://www.python.org/psf/ On 04.05.2015 22:39, Richard Kellner wrote: > Hello, > my name is Richard Kellner, I am software developer at Erigones, and I am big fan of Python and OpenSource. I think that in my country (Slovakia), there is none (or very few) Python community organised events, therefore I would like to organise non-profit Python event in Bratislava.

So far I am just collecting information and would like to know if Python Software Foundation would support this kind of effort? I have talked to my colleagues about it and they think it is great idea (we use Django a lot among other things) and I am member The Society for Open Information Technologies in Slovakia which I am sure they will support this kind of event as well. > > I don?t want to spam the mailing list with repeating stuff, but neither wiki nor searching conference mailing list gave me enough information for first time PyCon organisers (I guess people, who organise repeatedly already know the drill).

After several calls with a Carnival rep, I've decided to pull the trigger. Details: June 20th, 2016 - June 26th, 2016 Location: NYC, traveling to points in Canada Cost: ~ $600 -> $900 / person, based on double occupancy (all inclusive) The site will be up next week, and 'tickets' will go on sale at that point. Basically, booking your cabin with our booking number is your ticket to the conference, and Carnival will be dealing with all of that. The format will be an Open Spaces style conference, focusing more on collaboration and intermingling than talks. I'll be opening suggestions for Open Space topics once we have people registered, since how many we have determines how many rooms we get.
