Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2017 will be held in Rimini, Italy
Message-ID: <5814BD38.7070803@europython.eu>

After carefully reviewing all proposals we had received and intense
discussions with the teams, the EuroPython Society (EPS) is happy to
announce the decision to accept the proposal from the Italian on-site
team, backed by the Python Italia APS, to hold EuroPython 2017 in
Rimini, Italy.

The EPS would like to thank all teams who have entered bids for our
Call for Interest (CFI):

 * Python Italia APS: Milan/Como/Genoa/Rimini, Italy
 * The local Czech Python community: Brno, the Czech Republic
 * Python San Sebastian Society (ACPySS): Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain

The conference will be held at the Rimini PalaCongressi in July
2017. The exact dates are still subject to negotiations with the
venue. We?ll announce them as soon as they are finalized.

Until then, here?s the official EuroPython 2017 URL for you to
bookmark, where we?ll open up the website in January 2017:

EuroPython Workgroups

Organizing a EuroPython event is a lot of work and with the workgroup
concept, we have opened up much of the organization for remote
participation.

If you want to help, please apply for one or more workgroups which you
feel match your interests and experience. If you?d like to help, but
don?t have enough experience, yet are willing to learn, please apply
as well. The application process is described on our workgroups page:
