Subject: [EuroPython] Ruby & Python Conference 2007
Message-ID: <35cc14d70612080158h632e369bra59562f16770df0@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

we are a group of students from University of Poznan, Poland where the RuPy
Conference of Ruby and Python organized by us will be held in April 14-15,
2007. The idea behind the conference is to try to animate central- and
east-european Python and Ruby communities. We would like to put together
Python & Ruby experts with young programmers and to support a good
communication channel for East-West exchange of prospective ideas.

Since we can see relation between the idea of EuroPython and the purpose of
RuPy we would like to ask you as a experienced organizers to offer us some
help. We are still looking for speakers for our conference, therefore we
would be grateful if you could point us some communication channels through
which we would be able to convince people to present their Ruby and Python
related ideas in Poznan next year. Perhaps you could also popularize the
idea of RuPy among your friends and Python colleagues, especially among
those who have some ideas they want to introduce to wider audience.

Speakers' registration includes attendance at lecture sessions on both days
of the Conference, all refreshments during the coffee breaks and Conference
lunches. For each participant Organizers guarantee free accommodation and
full board during the Conference. Each Speaker will also be entitled to
partial reimbursement for the travel expenses. Speakers are also more than
welcome to participate in all extra events including guided sightseeing,
conference Banquet and other entertainments provided by Organizers.

All information can be found on RuPy website: http://rupy.wmid.amu.edu.pl

Best regards,
Katarzyna Bylec
RuPy Committee

It sounds like an interesting plan, and I note that some people in the Python 
community have already publicised it somewhat, some even stating that they 
will be attending.

What you could do is to contact the python.org webmaster and try and get the 
conference mentioned in the news section, particularly as the deadlines 
approach. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a mention: other 
conferences such as OSDC aren't Python-specific, and at least yours has 
Python in the name. ;-)

I see that the Python events page has RuPy already mentioned:

http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEvents

Another avenue, perhaps taken already, is that of getting Ron Stephens to 
mention RuPy in his Python411 podcast. I'm sure he wouldn't mind mentioning 
it again, even some time in advance: his latest podcast was about PyCon, and 
that's at the end of February.

Paul

P.S. I haven't said it already, but perhaps now is as good a time as any to 
say thank you once again to the organisers of EuroPython 2006 at CERN. I'm 
particularly impressed that a high number of presenters were persuaded to 
upload their talks, and I hope that as the Web site is updated for 2007 we 
don't obscure or restrict the availability of those talks.

Hi Harald,

thanks for your reply. I'll discuss the idea in our mailing list and 
report the results next week.

I hope someone else in the list will share your interest.

Let's sit and see.

Cristiano,

I like the idea of seeing Rome.
I like the early proposal.
I also like "10-years-long standing LUG which organized some nation-wide "
I guess that Rome may be expensive, but not more expensive then Geneva :)

My recommendation is:
 - put your team together (people willing to do the local organization)
 - take some pictures of places where the conference should take place
 - come to EP 2007 in Vilnius
 - in Vilnius present Rome as the place to go for EP 2008 :)
(if you do 1, 2 and 3; but are hesitating on 4, I can do 4 for you :) )


Best wishes,

Harald

After the proposal for Roma in 2008, I can now say that I propose to
hold the Europython conference in Brussels in 2009 and possibly also
2010. I have spoken about this with some responsible people in a great
university in Brussels and they welcome the idea, and also this would
let us the time to find more financial support.

About this, I restate my resquest to have some figures about the
previous EP conference, the ones in Norway and in Geneva, for example
financial, but not only that (eg. budget and its ventilation in
expenditures and incomes, number of speakers, number of talks in each
category ...) as well as any good text to build a complete document to
give to possible financial sponsors.

Thanks,

Nicolas

The budget and outcome for 2005 are enclosed. Please note that most budget 
numbers are in SEK, but this is clearly marked.

I am deeply sorry

Thank you Jacob for the rectification. I know that I attended the conf
in Charleroi, could not (unfortunately) go to the next 2 ... and then
I could go to Geneva. In French we have something that is like "Far
from the eyes, far from the heart". It may explain my bad memory.

> The budget and outcome for 2005 are enclosed.

yes. This does not matter. It is for reference.

> Please note that most budget

OK thanks. I'll only have to convert to euros.

Much thanks,

NIcolas

Thank you very much for this precise document. THis is nearly all that
I wanted.

Some other questions:

1/ was there any other income than the paid entries ? Any sponsor that
gave mony ?
2/ was there any "local sponsors" that gave the time of their paid
staff ? If any, how many hours ?
3/ I do not see any actual figures for the expenses but the ones that
were budgeted. Were these figures collected, and if yes, can I have
them.

With respect to the budget, the conf was balanced, but if the expenses
were not diminished to match the incomes, it must have been in the
red. Was it ? If yes, who paid the last expenses ?

4/ where there any documents that were gathered and already collected
to build such a sponsoring document ?

5/ about last year: did Google pay any money to be a local,
advertising presence ? If yes, how much and would Google like to redo
this ? who is in charge with the contact with Google recruitment
people who attended EP ? Guido himself ?

Thanks,

Nicolas

We have almost always had 3 parallel tracks, running for at least 10 sessions 
(2 morning and 2 afternoon sessions). The remaining 2 sessions have varied a 
bit. In Belgium, people started going home by lunch of the 3rd day, but 
later, people have stayed longer. We can now expect most people to stay the 
full 3 days. Traditionally, we have had at least 1 session of lightning 
talks, and of late we have had 2 of them.

Early on, the length of a talk could vary, taking 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes, 
but at the latest conference all talks were limited to 30 minutes. I think 
this is a good formula. If you can't bring across the essence of what you 
would like people to take an interest in, in 30 minutes, you probably 
shouldn't be giving a presentation. So, an estimate is that there will be 
80-100 speakers - some people give more than one talk and a few talks have 
more than one speaker.

We have had the keynote speeches at the end of the first 2 days, with a 
conference dinner after the keynote on the second day.

There has to be facilities (room, electricity, internet connection, reasonable 
temperature) for sprinting both before and after the conference. The pattern 
has been that a small group of people (about 10) have wanted to sprint for 
about 4 days before the conference and a lagre group (40 dwindling to 10) 
sprints for about 6 days after the conference.

There are people who are willing to sponsor the conference, but contacting 
them and pulling the deal all the way through to having their ads in the 
programme/posted at the conference and getting paid takes some work, which 
someone has to be willing to do and has to have time for. We are still at the 
level that this yields less than 1000 Euro. This can be a nice source of 
revenue in the future, if the organisers maintain sponsor relations and make 
sure the sponsors feel that they get good value for their sponsorship. In 
2004, I had about half a dozen sponsors. In 2005 I didn't have time to keep 
this part going and it was left more or less unattended both 2005 and 2006. 
In 2006, Google was there as a sponsor. I don't know the details of what it 
yilded, but there was a google merchandise lottery and everyone got a google 
t-shirt.

Unless there was a problem this year, Europython has a reasonable stack of 
money, which means that the organisers don't have to take a financial risk. 
If fewer people than expected show up, there is a buffer which can pay the 
bills. (You still need to keep a tight budget and know all costs in advance. 
Things can go really bad in a hurry if you don't.) Another possible source of 
a financial guarantee which we haven't tried so far is the PSF.

For staffing, you have the track chairs who keep tab of their tracks, the 
reception and the tech support. The track chairs are volunteers from all over 
Europe. You need to supply them with written instructions about how to keep 
times, how to operate the equipment and whom to contact if they are unable to 
solve a problem on their own. After that they manage themselves during the 
conference (handling tracks before the conference is a different bag of 
beans - ask Michael Hudson about details).

For reception, you need about 10 people on the first morning, form 2 hours 
before the conference starts until 2 hours after it has begun. This is when 
everyone picks up badges, walk in attendees register and all the unexpected 
problems show up. If you don't have the luxury of having the venue to 
yourself the day before, this is also when you have to put up all the 
signage. After the early rush, a single person can handle the reception;
at least if you make sure everyone gets a proper invoice to print at 
registration time (what a proper invoice is, you can find in the archives of 
the europython mailing list, I wrote an extensive description). Otherwise you 
will have one person fully occupied doing invoices for people and still have 
invoices to send out after the conference. Bad move.

In 2004 I had some volunteer students from Chalmers. This did not work out all 
that well, because 2 out of 4 showed up late. From being understaffed, we 
became extremely understaffed.

In 2005 I sent the developers of my company to staff the reception. This 
worked extremely well and I had time to attend talks, be sociable and make 
sure things were runing smoothly.

In 2006, the initial rush was handled by the CERN professional conference 
support staff. Tres cool. After that, I think the job of reception was split 
between 3 people, which meant that they were tied up more than I think is 
reasonable.

I'm afraid there are no good texts to present to financers. We can supply the 
raw data, but the texts you will have to come up with yourself.

In any case, I think that both Rome and Brussels would be fun places to have 
Europython. The one thing I worry about is cost of accomodation. Europython 
really strives to be affordable for students and people from the not so rich 
countries in Europe. In Sweden, we had reasonably priced accomodation in the 
student residence area, and CERN had its hostel. Vilnius is still quite 
moderately priced in general.

Best regards

I am already in touch with the Free University of Brussels (ULB) where
we could have the student accomodation in July as the exams are
finished by end June.

The ULB is the place where FOSDEM is organized too, and where I work
partly ... and have very good contacts with the authorities.

At the moment we have:

~10.000 SEK in the main bank account
~49.000 SEK coming in from PayPal to main bank account
~18.000 EUR in the secondary bank accounts

1 EUR is approx. 8.5-9.0 SEK

the money received from Payson (Swedish PayPal equiv) + the money
received from at-the-door-fees has been inserted into the above numbers.

The amount may change depending on whether I find more old invoices
waiting to be paid or not (about a week ago I had to pay a big invoice
of 25.000 SEK dating back to conference for 2005 ).

That said, I think all the big invoices are paid and there should be
very few, if any, small invoices for 2006 to be paid. I expect the
numbers above to be fairly static from now on, or even increase a bit: I
stil have to verify that all sponsors have paid their invoices.

Cheers,

Message-ID: <4586EF8D.4090304@theshire.org>

Thank you to everyone for the information provided so far.

As I said in my previous post, we are thoroughly discussing the subject 
on our internal list so please think of the Rome's candidacy as tentative.

In fact, my primary concern at this stage is to build up a team 
committed to organizing the event.

I hope to come up with some conclusive answer by the end of January: I 
think it may be a suitable deadline for saying if we're in or not.
