I am register online at 30 may, and have got ordet (RC3185736). I made payment by bank transfer at early June (2-3), and supply order number in payment detail.

However, I chose to pay by cash since I wasn't sure about payment option by that time. Now I have my attendance in Europython 2008 approved by my employee (UAB Bite Lietuva), so I would like to ask, what payment options are still available. As I understand, there are three options: 1. Pay online by corporate credit card. 2. Make international money transfer to EuroPython Society. 3. Pay by cash on the door. I think for my company first option (pay online by corporate credit card) would be proffered. However, since 30th June (last day of online registration with normal 160 EUR rate) has already passed (and in http://registration.europython.eu/ it still talks about 4th July as the last day, not 30th June), I would like to ask if this payment option is still available. If yes, can I just reregister and choose an option "Pay by credit card"? Thanks in advance. Regards, D?iugas Baltr?nas Vyresnysis sistem? in?inierius, BIT?S grup? / Senior Systems Engineer, BIT?

I've just setup a twitter account for the conference. If you are on twitter you can use this to stay uptodate: http://twitter.com/europython All blog posts and streaming updates will be posted there as well as other information. I've also setup 4 ustream shows for each individual room. This is also again a call for people who can help with streaming. Right now we probably can only stream 1-2 rooms at a time (if bandwidth works out) because of lack of people and equipment. So if you want to help (even just by controlling the camera and starting/stopping the stream), please contact me!

Lemburg) Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:28:11 +0200 Subject: [EuroPython] ANN: eGenix EuroPython 2008 Presentations & Videos Message-ID: <4884FF6B.3090403@egenix.com> ________________________________________________________________________ eGenix EuroPython 2008 Presentations & Videos ________________________________________________________________________ We have uploaded our EuroPython 2008 presentations to our website. Learn the concepts behind the Python DB-API and how to design large-scale applications. This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/EuroPython-2008-Presentations.html ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The EuroPython Conference is the one of the premier conferences for Python & Zope users and developers. This year it was being held from the 7th to 9th July in Vilnius, Lithuania. eGenix was one of the founding members of the EuroPython conference team and played a major role in organizing the first EuroPython conference in the year 2002. Since then we have attended every EuroPython conference to meet up face-to-face with the people from the Python & Zope communities and have given regular talks at these conferences. ________________________________________________________________________ TALKS AT EUROPYTHON 2008 We gave the following two talks at the conference. The presentations are available for viewing and download from our Presentations and Talks section: http://www.egenix.com/library/presentations/ As special feature, we have added talk videos in addition to providing the slide PDFs. You can view the talks online if you have the Adobe Flash Player 8 or later installed. * Using the Python Database API The Python Database API (DB-API) is a specification of a module interface that allows interfacing from Python to a relational database. The talk gives a high-level introduction to the concepts used in the Python DB-API and relational databases in general. Connection, cursors and transactions are discussed, and their use in Python database applications is explained. * Designing Large-Scale Applications in Python Python is widely and somewhat inaccurately referred to as a scripting language. While Python is an ideal platform for small scripting tasks, it does in fact cover all the concepts needed for large scale object oriented application development. However, complex applications bring different challenges. This talk draws on eGenix' many years experience with large scale application development using Python as central implementation language and provides a cookbook approach to many of the the problems you face when designing and organizing complex application frameworks.
