We are pleased to announce our final keynote speaker for EuroPython
2016:


			*** Ga?l Varoquaux ***



About Ga?l Varoquaux
--------------------

Ga?l Varoquaux is an INRIA faculty researcher working on data science
for brain imaging in the Neurospin brain research institute (Paris,
France).

His research focuses on modeling and mining brain activity in relation
to cognition. Years before the NSA, he was hoping to make
bleeding-edge data processing available across new fields, and he has
been working on a mastermind plan building easy-to-use open-source
software in Python.

He is a core developer of scikit-learn, joblib, Mayavi and nilearn, a
nominated member of the PSF, and often teaches scientific computing
with Python using the scipy lecture notes.

The Keynote:
Scientist meets web dev: how Python became the language of data
---------------------------------------------------------------

Python started as a scripting language, but now it is the new trend
everywhere and in particular for data science, the latest rage of
computing. It didn?t get there by chance: tools and concepts built by
nerdy scientists and geek sysadmins provide foundations for what is
said to be the sexiest job: data scientist.

    "In my talk I?ll give a personal perspective, historical and
    technical, on the progress of the scientific Python ecosystem,
    from numerical physics to data mining.

    I will discuss low-level technical aspects, such as how the Python
    world makes it easy to move large chunks of number across code,
    touch upon current exciting developments in scikit-learn and
    joblib, but also talk about softer topics, such as project
    dynamics or documentation, as software?s success is determined by
    people."

Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2016: Hot Topics Call for Proposals is Open
 !
Message-ID: <575405E5.1070109@europython.eu>

We are happy to announce that we?ve opened our second Call for
Proposals. This call is limited to hot topics and most recent
developments in software and technology and will run until June 12.


		   *** Proposal Submission Page ***

       https://ep2016.europython.eu/en/speakers/hot-topics-cfp/


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 enormous speed these days.

So we have given this some thought and decided to split the Call for
Proposals in two phases, with the second just weeks before the
conference.


Submit your hot topic talk
--------------------------

This CFP is 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

The second 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 then select the most exciting and
intriguing submissions and will notify the winners on short notice.


Submit your poster or run a help desk
-------------------------------------

Since we still have a few slots left, we are also looking for more
posters and help desks - these are not limited to hot topics.


Get a ticket discount
---------------------

For talks, posters, help desks we will give out a 25% discount coupon
valid for one conference ticket.
