from here.

"""
Software developers from around the world will gather July 3-5 in  
Geneva, Switzerland for EuroPython 2006, the fifth annual conference  
for the Python programming language .  The event is hosted this year  
at CERN, the birthplace of the Web, and promises an exciting slate of  
keynotes and talks.

"Python keeps growing each year, and EuroPython keeps getting better  
as well," says Benedikt Hegner, host and one of the lead organizers  
for EuroPython 2006. "This year saw Guido van Rossum, Python's  
creator, moving to Google with other key Python developers.  Hosting  
EuroPython at CERN is a prestigious step for EuroPython as well.

EuroPython 2006 will be keynoted both by Mr. van Rossum as well as  
Dr. Alan Kay, an originator of object-oriented programming and  
pioneer of graphical computing.  The schedule has 3 days of talks in  
8 tracks covering agile development, business, teaching, games, an  
expanded web frameworks track, and more.  The organizers have  
followed the success of earlier years by providing lightning talks,  
development sprints, and "birds-of-a-feather" gatherings, three  
attendee-favorites for fast-paced discussion and social networking.

For half a decade, EuroPython has established itself as the premier  
event for Python users and developers in Europe and beyond.  With a  
low registration cost of 190 euros, the conference is organized by  
the Python community, for the Python community.  To register for the  
conference or get more information, please visit the EuroPython  
website at http://www.europython.org/.
