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/.
