The EuroPython and Zope Conference 2002 announces the first
major Python and Zope Conference in Europe, held June 26-28 in
Charleroi, Belgium. With keynote speeches that include an original
leader of open source, the creator of Python, and the architect of
Zope, as well as major developer activities, the conference
promises to be a breakthrough event for open software in
Europe.

<p>Hundreds of new and experienced developers attending the
conference will see a full program, including:</p>

<ul>
<li>
<p>Keynote by Guido van Rossum, creator of Python</p>
</li>

<li>
<p>Keynote by Eric Raymond, an originator of the open source
movement and active Python developer</p>
</li>

<li>
<p>Tutorials and development sessions by Jim Fulton, architect of
Zope and Chief Technology Officer at Zope Corporation</p>
</li>

<li>
<p>State of the Zope talk by Paul Everitt, co-founder of Zope
Corporation</p>
</li>
</ul>

The conference program has over 30 presentations and tutorials
in 7 tracks, including Python Language, Zope, Python In Science and
Industry, Python In Business, Python Applications, and Web
Services. Note that the Python Language track showcases Jython, the
100% pure Java implementation of the Python language. The program
contains tutorials, presentations, lightning talks, and "birds of a
feather" gatherings. Additional events include a "sprint" for
building Zope 3, the next major version of Zope, as well as the
first general member's meeting of the EuroZope Foundation and a
meeting of the Python Business Forum.

EuroPython 2002 will be held in Charleroi, Belgium, a city close
to Brussels. Space is filling quickly, so early registration at the
EuroPython website (<a href=3D"http://www.europython.org">http://www.euro=
python.org</a>) is
encouraged. Student discounts are available.

The EuroPython 2002 conference continues this year's series of
open source developer events in Europe, including FOSDEM and
LinuxTag, which each attracted thousands of attendees. Like these
conferences, EuroPython 2002 is organized by a volunteer group of
open source developers.
