I, OTOH, am unperturbed.
Things have been much in flux this year, and a last minute short notice
thing like this post needs wide dissemination. Normally a conference
needs few posts, but this year everything is different and plans have
changed a lot, on the fly.
I have never attended EuroPython and probably never will (I'm on the
other side of the planet) but I'm still interested. Rather than
subscribe to every conference thing, getting them here is very
convenient.
As with all posters and topics, a truly annoying one can always be
blocked at your personal discretion with a filter rule, eg to discard
"europython". I know that advice verges on the spammers' claim that "you
can always opt out" but for me this stuff isn't spam.
