From GadgetSteve at hotmail.com Sat Oct 3 14:24:28 2020 From: GadgetSteve at hotmail.com (Steve - Gadget Barnes) Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2020 18:24:28 +0000 Subject: [EuroPython] Matching Gifts Message-ID: Hi, The company that I now work for (following a divestment of my old company) has a matching grants program via ?Your Cause? which combines YourCause & Good Done Great. I have checked and The Python Software Foundation is listed as eligible (EuroPython is not listed at all but non-USA based organisations are eligible if they meet the appropriate rules). It looks like YourCause is a common gift matching platform across a lot of companies as they claim more than 8 million employees in the network. Can I suggest that it would probably be worth someone from EuroPython going to https://solutions.yourcause.com and jumping through a few hoops to either update or register their details.

We are happy to announce that we have now received the official certificate of the US trademark.

Unfortunately, things are not moving in a direction where we?d feel confident to hold next year?s conference as an in-person event in Dublin. EuroPython 2022 in Dublin ------------------------- After discussion with the venue, we decided to postpone the in-person conference for another year, to July 11-17 2022 in Dublin, Ireland. We are currently finalizing the details. Since going online has proven to work well, we also want to keep the momentum for EuroPython 2022 and are planning to run the event in a hybrid version, where both speakers and attendees can optionally join online. EuroPython 2021 Online ---------------------- Given the experience with running EuroPython 2020 online this year, we are sure that EuroPython 2021 will be a success as well. We will take the experience we?ve gained from this year?s event to improve the online version next year, simplify some aspects, reactivate finaid and enable joining it in smaller groups to create a distributed experience. We?re still collecting ideas, so if you have any suggestions, we?d love to hear them. Please write to helpdesk at europython.eu.
