ANNOUNCING

         Python Events Calendars - Please submit your 2014 events

           maintained by the Python Software Foundation (PSF)
                    and a group of volunteers

________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION

As some of you may know, the PSF has put together a team of volunteers
who are maintaining a central Python events calendar. We currently have
two calendars in place:

 * Python Events Calendar - meant for conferences and larger gatherings
   focusing on Python or a related technology (in whole or in part)

 * Python User Group Calendar - meant for user group events and other
   smaller local events

The calendars are displayed on http://pycon.org/ and in a smaller
version in the sidebar of the http://python.org/ website.

You can subscribe to the calendars using iCal and RSS feeds and
also embed the calendar widgets on your sites. Please see our wiki
page for details:

    https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEventsCalendar

The calendars are open to the world-wide Python community, so you
can have local user group events, as well as regional and international
conference events added to the calendars.

NEWS

Created in Oct 2012, the project has been proven to be a success as
you can see in the past events listed in the calendars.

We would like to encourage everyone to submit their 2014 events,
so that the Python community can get a better overview over what's
happening in Python land.

ADDING EVENTS

If you want to have entries added to those calendars, please write
to events at python.org and include the following information:

 * Name of the event
 * Type of the event (conference, bar camp, user group, etc)
 * Focus on Python and approximate size
 * URL
 * Location and country
 * Date and time (if relevant)

For recurring events, please also include a description of the
recurrence in a way that's compatible and supported by Google
calendars.
