We are currently working out the format for this year?s online
EuroPython conference. The conference will be run using online
conference tools during the week of July 26 - August 1 and we would like
to learn about your preferences regarding the overall structure.

For this reason, we?re running a poll to gather input from our
(potential) attendees:

                * EuroPython 2021 Format Poll *

              https://forms.gle/V4oPEXWiexfVyH1S7


Please add any comments you may have to the comment field. We?d love to
hear about new online conference platforms you may have seen (last year,
we used Zoom and Discord), suggestions on social event formats, etc.

Message-ID: <2c8c8e2f-d17a-47b4-bddd-6a6d4824123a@europython.eu>

We're happy to announce the pre-launch website for this year's
EuroPython 2021:

                         * EuroPython 2021 *

                   https://ep2021.europython.eu/

The site comes with an FAQ page, which lists all the information we have
for you at the moment. We're repeating the most important part here:

EuroPython 2021 will be held online from July 26 - August 1, 2021,
using the following structure:

- two workshop/training days (July 26 - 27)
- three conference days (July 28 - 30)
- two sprint days (July 31 - August 1)

The next steps are preparing the main conference website, adding
content, organizing the call for papers (CFP), setting up the ticket
system, the financial aid program, getting everything tested and
deployed.

Want to join the fun ?
----------------------

We'll have busy weeks ahead of us. If you want to help, please consider
contacting us with details on where you would like to contribute. Please
write to volunteers at europython.eu.

Distributed conferencing
------------------------

We are also looking into setting up, what we call EuroPython Nodes,
where attendees can join small groups around the world to attend
EuroPython 2021 together. Please see our FAQ entry for details. The idea
is still in flux and we'd like to get some feedback from user groups or
companies interested in participating:

    https://ep2021.europython.eu/faq/#nodes


PS: We have also moved our blog off of Tumblr and onto our own
infrastructure. Hope you like the new design.
