The program WG has been working hard trying to fit all the sessions in the last few weeks. With over 180 sessions, over 150 speakers, one day for workshops, 5 days of talks, training, keynotes, lightning talks and open spaces, followed by 2 days of sprints, EuroPython will be one of the most exciting and vibrant Python events this year: *** EuroPython 2016 Schedule *** https://ep2016.europython.eu/p3/schedule/ep2016/ The schedule is available in table and list format. Please note that we are still applying changes to the slots and will also add some more interesting special sessions to it in the coming days. Early in June we will have a short second Call for Proposals, limited to hot topics and most recent developments in software and technology. We will announce details soon. Many thanks to everyone who submitted proposals. EuroPython wouldn?t be possible without our speakers. If you want to join the fun, be sure to get your tickets as soon as possible, since ticket sales usually start picking up quite a bit after we announce the schedule. https://ep2016.europython.eu/en/registration/ With gravitational regards, -- EuroPython 2016 Team http://ep2016.europython.eu/ http://www.europython-society.org/ From mal at europython.eu Tue Apr 19 14:41:18 2016 From: mal at europython.eu (M.-A.

Because we're using Telegram already for the EuroPython organization, so we thought it'd be a good idea to have attendees join in the fun as well. This is not about crypto anyway... it's a public group :-) > Or just announce a twitter hashtag, so everybody uses the same. Oh, we have that already: #europython -- Marc-Andre Lemburg Director EuroPython Society http://www.europython-society.org/ http://www.malemburg.com/ From mal at europython.eu Sat Apr 30 06:02:15 2016 From: mal at europython.eu (M.-A.

This call is limited to hot topics and most recent developments in software and technology. Why is there a second call ? ---------------------------- Planning a big conference is a challenge: On one hand people like to know what will be on our talk schedule to make up their mind and make travel arrangements early. On the other hand technology is progressing at the speed of light these days. So what?s the solution ? Attend anyway - EuroPython is always a great idea ! Seriously, we have given this some thought and decided to make another extra Call for Proposals just weeks before the conference. This CfP is strictly reserved for * hot topics * emerging technologies * brand new developments in software & hardware * recent results in research and science Some suggestions for topics: * Exciting new hardware & Internet of Things * Robotics * Virtual Reality * AI & Deep Learning This call will be open for nine days only: *** Saturday June 4th 0:00 to Sunday June 12th 24:00 CEST *** The program work group will select the most exciting and intriguing submissions and will notify the winners on short notice.
