More advanced talks than in previous EuroPython editions

We are glad that the Python community has heard our call to submit
more advanced talks this year. This will make EuroPython 2019 even
more interesting than our previous editions.

Waiting List
------------

Some talks are still in the waiting list. We will inform all speakers
who have submitted talks about the selection status by email.

The full schedule will be available early in June.
