[Python Edinburgh] EuroPython is coming to Edinburgh: You should volunteer!

[Valentin]

Hi all,

This sounds great, but if the prices are the same as last year (up to 
200€/day), I can't afford to attend.

Does anyone know of ways to get discounts ? (registering early, giving a 
talk, volunteering maybe ?)

Cheers,

Valentin
