[DCPIGgies] PyCon 2013 Ticket Sales Have Begun!

[Christian Tismer]

Hi Brian,

I am still tossing ideas forth and back,
and with actually still almost no income,
I probably should not come. 

But actually I would like to come, and
this time with a follow-up on my Stackless
talk in Florence, with news and improvements. 
I just need some encouragement to
convince me to spend the money and
do yet another talk on Stackless. 
Is there convincingly enough interest?

Cheers - Chris

Early bird rates are available for the first 1000 purchases, which is a departure from previous time-based systems. With PyCon 2012 having been a quick sell out, we're expecting this one to be the same. Keep in mind that attendance is strictly limited to 2500.

Providing a more affordable conference experience for students is a priority for the organizers and the Python Software Foundation, and we're hoping the decrease helps bring more of them out.
