Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2016: Sending out the first gravitational
 waves
Message-ID: <56C18C17.3080404@europython.eu>

We are pleased to announce the launch of our all new EuroPython 2016
website. Over the last few weeks, we have been busy talking to
sponsors and getting the website prepared for the launch.

You may have heard about the recent direct observation of
gravitational waves by the LIGO (Laser Interferometer
Gravitational-wave Observatory). What you may not know is that Python
helped in analyzing the data, so we now have two things to celebrate:

 1. Python?s use in this phenomenal direct proof of Einstein?s
    prediction and

 2. the launch of our 2016 edition of the EuroPython conference.

So here it is:

                 *** https://ep2016.europython.eu/ ***

                           July 17 - 24 2016


Many thanks go to our launch sponsors who have signed up early to give
us that extra boost in motivation to get the conference and it?s
website set up.

Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2016: Call for Proposals
Message-ID: <56C5C9E1.5090201@europython.eu>

We?re looking for proposals on every aspect of Python: programming
from novice to advanced levels, applications and frameworks, or how
you have been involved in introducing Python into your organization.
EuroPython is a community conference and we are eager to
hear about your experience.

Please also forward this Call for Proposals to anyone that you feel
may be interested.


     *** https://ep2016.europython.eu/en/call-for-proposals/ ***

                   Submissions will be open until
                   Sunday, March 6, 23:59:59 CET


For full details, please see the above CFP page. We have many exciting
things waiting for you:

* a PyData satellite event

* new formats (panels, interactive sessions)

* tracks to focus on more specific domains, including a
  revival of the EuroPython Business Track

* speaker discounts for more than just talks and trainings


Please note that we are using a shorter CFP period of just 2.5 weeks
this year, since we want to have the list of talks published sooner
than last year.

                   More Information and Ticket Shop


We will be opening the flood gates on Tuesday, 09:00 CET, so set your
alarms to make sure you can secure your ticket. Experience shows that
early bird tickets sell out quickly.

less than two weeks left:

Thanks for the Info, Marc.

How will the prices be for speakers?

Will trainers be compensated (e.g. like Pycon US) or will you repeat
the EP2015 mode of operations where they only got free entrance?

The details are listed on the CFP page:

"""
Discounts for Content Contributors

Since EuroPython is a not-for-profit community conference, it is not possible to pay out rewards for
talks or trainings. For talks, posters,  help desk and organising a panels or interactive we will
give out a 25% discount coupon valid for one conference ticket. Trainers will receive a 100%
discount coupon to compensate for the longer preparation time.
"""

This is the same as we've done in the past, except that we're
extending the discount to posters, help desk and organizers
of panels and interactive sessions as well this year.

Trainers are not compensated, since this would create a contract
relationship which would result in too much (tax, accounting,
registration and legal) work to deal with on our side. Unlike
PyCon US, we're still a 100% volunteer run organization.

Cheers,
