Just launched in mid-January, all workgroups (WGs) are fully under steam by now, working hard to make EuroPython 2015 a fabulous event. http://ep2015.europython.eu/ Community building the conference --------------------------------- The *On-site Team WG* is doing a wonderful job getting us the best possible deals in Bilbao, the *Web WG* is knee deep into code and docker containers setting up the website, the *Marketing & Design WG* working with the designers to create wonderful logos and brochures, the *Program WG* contacting keynote speakers and creating the call for proposals, the *Finance WG* building the budget and making sure the conference stays affordable for everyone, the *Support WG* setting up the online help desk to answer your questions, the *Communications WG* preparing to create a constant stream of exciting news updates, the *Administration WG* is managing the many accounts, contracts and services needed to run the organization. The *Financial Aid WG* and *Media WG* are preparing to start their part of the conference organization later in March. http://www.europython-society.org/workgroups The WGs are all staffed with members from the ACPySS on-site team, the EuroPython Society and volunteers from the EuroPython community to drive the organization forward and we?re getting a lot done in a very short time frame. More help needed ---------------- We are very happy with the help we are getting from the community, but there still is a lot more to be done.
