Some people asked for more time to prepare their abstracts.
Therefore, we extended the deadline for the submission of abstracts
for EuroSciPy 2009 to May 8, 2009. Please send your abstract to
mmueller at python-academy dot de. More details below.


EuroSciPy 2009
==============

We're pleased to announce the EuroSciPy 2009 Conference to be held in
Leipzig, Germany on July 25-26, 2009.

This is the second conference after the successful conference last
year. Again, EuroSciPy will be a venue for the European community of
users of the Python programming language in science.


Call for Participation

If you are a scientist using Python for your computational work, we'd
love to have you formally present your results, methods or
experiences. To apply to present a talk at this year's EuroSciPy,
please submit an abstract of your talk as a PDF, MS Word or plain text
file to mmueller at python-academy dot de. The deadline for abstract
submission is May 8, 2009. Papers and/or presentation slides are
acceptable and are due by June 15, 2009. Presentations will be allotted
30 minutes.

Pre-Conference Courses
----------------------

Would you like to learn Python or about some of the most used scientific
libraries in Python? Then the "Python Summer Course" [1] might be for
you. There are two parts to this course:

* a two-day course "Introduction to Python" [2] for people with
   programming experience in other languages and
* a three-day course "Python for Scientists and Engineers" [3] that
   introduces some of the most used Python tools for scientists and
   engineers such as NumPy, PyTables, and matplotlib

Both courses can be booked individually [4]. Of course, you can attend
the courses without registering for EuroSciPy.
