Message-ID: Hi all, You've probably seen the email Dougal posted to the list, but if you're not familiar with EuroPython, the significance may have been lost. EuroPython is (I think) the largest Python conference outside of the US - it currently boasts 1200+ attendees each year. Many really significant Python developers attend, including Guido van Rossum many years. It moves around Europe; In the past 5 years, it has been hosted in Rimini, Bilbao, Berlin, and Florence - we're in good company! The main body of the conference consists of 3 days of talks, with 5 different talks going on simultaneously, so there's plenty to choose from! There are also workshops, and sprints, where you get to work alongside amazing people to help make Python software better. It is a wonderful, supportive environment, and they encourage new speakers - EuroPython was where I gave my first Python talk outside of Edinburgh, and I've since given talks there several times. You should consider submitting a talk, no matter what level of Python experience you have - a common problem they have is that not enough beginner-level talks are submitted. But you have time to think about it - the Call For Proposals has not yet been announced. I'll mail the list when it is announced, or follow the EuroPython blog or Twitter account. But, MOST IMPORTANTLY: VOLUNTEER! EuroPython is a community conference, and is run by volunteers, not for profit. It is a safe space, and has a detailed and enforced code of conduct. They specifically need local volunteers. You can submit your details on the form here: http://www.europython-society.org/workgroups - select the "Other" workgroup, and enter "On Site" - and you can select multiple workgroups if you wish. The more people volunteer, the less work is actually involved for each volunteer, and the smoother things will run. (Incidentally, I am *not* running this conference - just a volunteer) I'm super-excited about this, and I hope you are too. For many, I suspect it will be your first opportunity to attend. You'll learn new things and make new friends - and you get to show off your country to the World! Let's do this. Mark -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For people who don?t know, PyData is a series of city-based organizations around the world, funded by NumFOCUS, which also funds numpy, Scipy, Jupyter and lots of other things. As the name suggests, PyData is all about the intersection between Python and Data Science, though it?s extremely open and inclusive and often goes well beyond Python. Generally, each city organization holds a monthly meet-up with a couple of talks and maybe some lightning talks, and when they get established they usually run an annual conference too, often over a weekend. There?s a lot of international interest and support (from the rest of the community, including?Ian Osvald, who runs PyData London, Vincent Warderman who runs PyData Amsterdam, and Alexander Hendorf, who chairs EuroPython) in a PyData Edinburgh being set up, and I promised after talking to a lot of folks at various PyDatas that I would think seriously trying to get PyData Edinburgh established. If anyone is interested (particularly in helping out organizing) do let me know. I think an obvious thing would be to aim to start a monthly meetup in (say) January and try to get a 1-day PyData track at Europython in the summer. Who?s in?

So there will be a delay in them responding to this form. If you want to discuss different tracks and ideas you can also ping me directly (on this email). I am in the EuroPython program workgroup (we basically deal with all the CFP and all the content and schedule etc.). This will be my third year helping (in a fairly small capacity tbh).
