[ANN] EuroSciPy Registration now open

[Travis Vaught]

Greetings,

I'm pleased to announce that the registration for the first-annual  
EuroSciPy Conference is now open.

http://scipy.org/EuroSciPy2008

Please take advantage of the early-bird rate and register soon.  We'd  
love to have an early idea of attendance so that we can scale the  
venue appropriately (the available room is flexible in this regard).

The EuroSciPy Conference will be held July 26-27, 2008 in Leipzig,  
Germany.


About EuroSciPy
---------------
EuroSciPy is designed to complement the popular SciPy Conferences  
which have been held for the last 7 years at Caltech (the 2008 SciPy  
Conference in the U.S. will be held the week of August 19-24).   
Similarly, the EuroSciPy Conference provides a unique opportunity to  
learn and affect what is happening in the realm of scientific  
computing with Python. Attendees will have the opportunity to review  
the available tools and how they apply to specific problems.

By providing a forum for developers to share their Python expertise  
with the wider commercial, academic, and research communities, this  
conference fosters collaboration and facilitates the sharing of  
software components, techniques and a vision for high level language  
use in scientific computing. Typical presentations include general  
python use in the sciences, as well as NumPy and SciPy usage for  
general problem solving.  Beyond the excellent talks, there are inter- 
session discussions that prove stimulating and helpful.
