From dougal at dougalmatthews.com Thu Mar 5 13:02:27 2015 From: dougal at dougalmatthews.com (Dougal Matthews) Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 12:02:27 +0000 Subject: [Python Edinburgh] EuroPython 2015 - Site launch, early bird tickets available, and thanks to our Launch Sponsors Message-ID: Hi All! On behalf of the whole team I thought I would post this announcement to the Scottish mailing lists. We are pleased to announce the launch of the all new EuroPython 2015 website. Over the last few weeks, we have been very busy setting up the infrastructure, talking to sponsors, and the site prepared for the launch. So here it is: *** https://ep2015.europython.eu/ *** Many thanks go to our launch sponsors who have signed up early to give us that extra boost in motivation to get the conference and it?s website ramped up in only 6 weeks: Our Launch Sponsors are: ------------------------ * Diputaci?n Foral de Bizkaia * Google * Bilbao Ekintza * UPV/EHU * SkyAtlas * Blue Yonder * Continuum Analytics * PythonAnywhere * ScrapingHub * 1000mercis * 2nd quadrant * Yelp * CodeSyntax * Asmatu * Hotel Ercilla * Neurita * Riverbank Early-bird Ticket Sales ----------------------- Early bird tickets are available. We only have 350 early-bird tickets available and experience shows that they will be sold out fast. PS: We?d like to thank our friends at Python Italia for making the EuroPython website code used for 2011-2013 available for us to use. Enjoy! Dougal (and mostly Hansel, as I reused his post the python-uk).

Pub Meetup Tomorrow Night Message-ID: Hello everybody, We were scheduled to run a dojo tomorrow night, but I've dropped the ball and not organised a venue. So I've made a snap decision that we'll have a pub meetup tomorrow night instead. It will be held at *Milnes Bar* on the corner of Rose St and Hanover St. I've booked a downstairs room called the Little Kremlin. I'll be there from 6pm. For those who haven't been before, it's a great informal way to meet fellow Python developers and chat about anything you find interesting! We welcome anybody who's interested in Python at any level. Feel free to bring a laptop and your latest project/problem if you're looking for support - we're a friendly and helpful bunch. The event is covered by our code of conduct: https://mighty-inlet-4698.herokuapp.com/pages/code-of-conduct/ to ensure a welcoming and friendly environment for all. Sorry for the change of plans - we will be running a dojo next month! See you all tomorrow. --Mark -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
