URL: From info at pycon.it Sun Feb 12 21:07:30 2012 From: info at pycon.it (info at pycon.it) Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:07:30 -0000 Subject: [EuroPython] Here we are: EuroPython 2012 is coming! Message-ID: <20120212200730.29264.78360@python.it> Pycon US registrations are closed and you didn't make it? Look no further: we are happy to officially announce EuroPython 2012, that will be held in Florence, Italy, on July 2nd-8th! Following last year's success, we are happy to host you again in Italy for an even bigger event. With our projections, we expect **more than 800 partecipants** this year! We also delayed the conference a little on the calendar: by slipping into July, we are moving from high-season to mid-season as Florence tourism goes, and that will surely help a lot for travel arrangements, hotels, and everything that goes around the conference itself. ## Conference structure We carefully analyzed all the feedback forms we received last year, and we are still doing so. We are trying to gather as much feedback as possible, specifically about those areas where we tried something totally different compared to previous EuroPython editions. One of these differences was the structure of the conference: given the low level of attendance on the tutorial days in 2009 and 2010, we went for something radically different: we increased the conference length to 5 full days, and scheduled the trainings in parallel to regular talks. The name change (from "tutorial" to "training") might seem minor to veteran Europythoners, but it helps conveying the basic message that trainings are not just for beginners. The net result has been very positive: training sessions have been very busy on average (a couple of sessions had more people on each one than the total number of attendees at tutorials in 2010!) , and feedback forms say that 62% preferred this format compared to that of previous years. We're thus confirming the same structure: **the conference proper will be from Monday 2nd to Friday 6th, while sprints will be on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th.** ## Book your flight now! If you know that you're coming (and that includes 79% of the people who filled the feedback forms!), book your flight now! Don't wait for the conference ticket: we will open registrations on March, but the price will be mostly unchanged (no promises yet, but we don't foresee a revolution there). Instead, we would suggest to wait before booking the hotel (or book just away, but make sure to have free cancelation): in fact, we're trying to finalize a **very special concession price for rooms at the conference hotel**. By leveraging the large number of attendees and fixing a big number of rooms immediately, we are hoping to be able to offer room booking (with also integrated room sharing!) within the checkout process on our website. So give us a few weeks to sort out all the details, everything will be ready when the registration is open. ## Have something to share? Start thinking of a proposal! While we are still finalizing the calendar of all the milestones between today and EuroPython, we are surely opening the call for papers as soon as **this week**. So it's a good time to start thinking of a good submission. Whether you are a veteran speaker or a first-timer, we need you, your experience and your willingness to share to make EuroPython the great conference that everyone is awaiting! ## Let's keep in touch We broadcast our announcements on different channels because we know people like it so. Make sure you don't miss anything about EuroPython: you can follow our [@europython](http://twitter.com/europython) account on Twitter, or subscribe to our [RSS feed](https://ep2012.europython.eu/blog/feeds/latest), or to our [low-traffic mailing- list](http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython).

It will run until March 18th, 23:59:59 CET. ## Share your wisdom For those who have never been at EuroPython (or similar conferences) before, the Call for Proposals is the period in which the organizers ask the community to submit proposals for talks to be held at the conference. EuroPython is a conference run _by_ the community _for_ the community: the vast majority of talks that are presented at the conference will be proposed, prepared and given by members of the Python community itself. And not only that: the process that selects the best talks among all the proposals will also be public and fully driven by the community: it's called **Community Voting**, and will begin right after the Call for Proposals ends. ## First-time speaker? If you've never presented a talk at a conference but you would like to share something, don't worry we'll help you. When you fill in the proposal form, there's a special checkbox called _first-time speaker_ that you can check, so that we know that you might need some help. We will try to give to these speakers a favourable schedule, and we will see if we can help with the presentation itself (reviewing the material and rehearsing the presentation once with the help of more experienced speakers). This is something we have previously done at PyCon Italy conferences with good feedback. We cann't guarantee this for all first time speakers, but checking that box indicates it is something you might find helpful. ## Don't wait for the last day If possible, please avoid submitting your proposals on the last day. It might sound a strange request, but last year about 80% of the proposals were submitted in the last 72 hours. This creates a few problems for organizers because we can't have a good picture of the size of the conference until that day. Remember that **proposals are fully editable at any time**, even after the Call for Proposals ends. You just need to login on the website, go to the proposal page (linked from your profile page), and click the Edit button. ## Follow us We broadcast our announcements on several different channels. Make sure you don't miss anything about EuroPython: you can follow our [@europython](http://twitter.com/europython) account on Twitter, or subscribe to our [RSS feed](https://ep2012.europython.eu/blog/feeds/latest/), or to our [low-traffic mailing- list](http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython).

Since it's the first time, 10 would be a success, I guess.

Also It doesn't make clear which days will be the actual sprint days, and how many they'll be. It mentions "the weekend", so is it correct to assume that sprinting will be on only two days, July 7 and 8?

Posters are an innovative way to present your projects at a conference: instead of giving a talk, you just need to graphically and schematically describe your project, and send us a digital file: we will print it in a large format and display it at the conference. People will have access to the poster room throughout the whole conference, and there will be a special poster session in which poster authors will be available for answering questions. Posters facilitate a more direct form of connection between participants, and are very well suited for people which are not comfortable in public speaking, or for subjects which are probably not worth a full talk. For further information, have a look at the [poster session](https://ep2012.europython.eu/poster-session) page on our website, and [submit your poster proposal](https://ep2012.europython.eu/call-for- proposals/).
