Subject: [EuroPython] Presenting our EuroPython 2021 logo
Message-ID: <215c6cce-6663-7417-b7b6-1988feb81d31@europython.eu>

Over the last couple of weeks, we have worked with our designer Jessica
Pe?a to come up with a logo which reflects both our desire to come
together online during the pandemic and shows how well our community is
interconnected around the world.

Here's our brand new logo for EuroPython 2021 Online:

Hope you like it :-)

We will soon make EuroPython 2021 merchandise available with the new
logo in our EuroPython merch shop, so you can order t-shirts,
sweatshirts, caps and mugs to show your support and love for the
conference.

Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2021: Launching the conference website
Message-ID: <8df07cc7-01fa-4595-c268-3fdfde6a375a@europython.eu>

During the last few weeks the team has been hard at work making final
changes to the website, and we are excited to announce the launch of the
conference website for EuroPython 2021 today !

                * EuroPython 2021 Conference Website *

                    https://ep2021.europython.eu/

We have also migrated the accounts from last year's website to the new
one, so you should be able to login right away. That said, we still
recommend changing your password as best practice. If you don't have an
account yet, you can easily create one to be ready for ticket sales.

Quick Summary
-------------
EuroPython 2021 will be run online from July 26 - August 1:

- Two workshop/training days (July 26 - 27)
- Three conference days (July 28 - 30)
- Two sprint days (July 31 - August 1)

The sessions will be scheduled to ensure they are also accessible for those in
the Asian and Americas time zones.

More updates
------------

- Ticket sales will start on Monday, April 19. We have refined the
  ticket structure for EuroPython 2021 to make it easier to understand
  and added a table outlining the differences between the various ticket
  types.

- Financial aid will once again be available, since we've grown our
  team. We'd like to enable more people from lower income countries to
  attend. Applications can be filed starting Wednesday, April 21.

- The Call for Papers (CFP) will be opened on Monday, April 26. If you
  want to prepare, you can already have a look at the CFP page on the
  website. The CFP will stay open for two weeks. A mentorship program
  for first time speakers is planned as well.

- Sponsorship packages are already available for review. If you decide
  to sponsor until May 7, you can get a 10% Early Bird discount on your
  packages.

We will send out more detailed posts on the above items in due course.
Please subscribe to our newsletter if you want to make sure to get all
information:

Message-ID: <e66f4016-556f-7606-5c6e-e82e8ceed2da@europython.eu>

We are happy to announce the start of our financial aid program for this
year?s EuroPython.

                   * EuroPython 2021 Financial Aid *

         https://ep2021.europython.eu/registration/financial-aid/

As part of our commitment to the Python community and to increase our
reach to lower income countries, we will provide financial aid for
people in need to enable them to attend EuroPython 2021.

Financial Aid Sponsor for EuroPython 2021: The EuroPython Society (EPS)
is sponsoring EUR 10,000 worth of financial aid this year.

We offer financial aid in the following two ways:

- Discounted ticket. Get a standard conference ticket for the conference
  with a very affordable price.

- Free ticket. For exceptional cases, we offer the standard conference
  ticket for free.

Conference tickets include access to conference days (Wed-Fri),
sponsored workshops, Beginners? Day workshop and sprints.

Please note: Access to our regular training sessions and workshops is
not included in the conference ticket.


Grant Eligibility
-----------------

EuroPython is a wonderful place to meet and share your experience with
Python developers from Europe and all around the world. Our goal is to
support people who want to help improve the Python community: conference
speakers, active developers from smaller Python communities and open
source contributors.

Our grants are open to all people in need of financial aid. We take into
account the following criteria during the selection process:

- Contributors: Potential speakers/trainers of EuroPython (those who
  have submitted a proposal), volunteers and other contributors to
  EuroPython and/or Python community projects.

- Economic factors: We want everybody to have a chance to join
  EuroPython, regardless of economic situation or income level.

- Country based: As EuroPython 2021 will be run online and there may be
  participants joining outside of Europe, we understand not all countries
  have the same income levels and cost of living.

- Diversity: We aim to be the most diverse and inclusive event possible.


How to apply
------------

Please see our financial aid page for details on how to apply:

https://ep2021.europython.eu/registration/financial-aid/

Message-ID: <3c260f6e-19e5-de9b-668b-0a832c94961e@europython.eu>

We're happy to announce the EuroPython 2021 Call for Proposals (CFP) and
are accepting proposals for talks, training sessions, workshops, panels,
poster sessions, helpdesks and other interactive sessions at EuroPython
2021.

           * EuroPython 2021 Call for Proposals (CFP) *

      https://ep2021.europython.eu/events/call-for-proposals/

            We will leave the CFP open from today until
                  Sunday, May 9, 23:59:59 CEST.

To submit a proposal, please log in to the site (or create an account
first) and then proceed to the CFP page:

Topics
------

We're looking for proposals on all aspects of Python from novice to
advanced level, including but not limited to: applications, frameworks,
Data Science, internals or topics which you're excited about, your
experiences with Python and its ecosystem and creative or artistic
things you've done with Python.

EuroPython is a community conference and we're eager to hear about how
you use Python in your professional and personal activities.

Feedback has shown that attendees are interested in advanced topics, we
would like to encourage more submissions with an advanced level scope
for EuroPython 2021. Please also note that we have added back training
and workshop submissions. We had to remove those last year due to lack
of resources.

Speaker Mentoring Program
-------------------------

This year we are running a mentoring program to encourage more first
time speakers to submit proposals, as well as provide training on
delivering talks effectively. We are also looking for more mentors to
help with the program.

Please check the CFP page for details on the mentoring program.

Message-ID: <c04e8664-aa1b-c188-dad1-a8db4e4115c8@europython.eu>

In the EuroPython community, diversity and inclusion are one of our core
values. Therefore, we are launching a Speaker Mentorship Program in this
year's edition.

            * EuroPython 2021 Speaker Mentorship Program *

        https://ep2021.europython.eu/events/call-for-proposals/

We know how tough it is to prepare for a talk, find & organize the right
content around the topic and more so when it's the first time. So what
could be better than getting guidance and support from within the
community itself.

By means of this program, we would like to bridge the gap between a
developing and experienced speaker. Hence, we are looking for mentors
and mentees to sign up.

Please check our CFP page for full details:

    https://ep2021.europython.eu/events/call-for-proposals/

Applications are open until Friday, April 30, 2021.


Quick Summary
