Book tickets and propose talks! Do all the things!!! To: "pyconuk-adm at python.org" , UK Python Users , Mailing list for the PyCon UK conference Hello, World! PyCon UK 2015 is open! The conference runs between Friday 18th - Monday 21st September 2015 and will be held in Coventry (http://www.pyconuk.org/venue/). Book your tickets here: http://www.pyconuk.org/register/ The Call for Papers is Open =========================== We can't run a conference without talks, tutorials and workshops. PyCon UK is a community conference, made by people like you! All talks and workshops are given by members of the community, and we'd like to invite you to submit a proposal to present a talk or to run a workshop. Submit your talks here: http://www.pyconuk.org/programme/ Sponsorship =========== Would you or your company like to sponsor PyCon UK? PyCon UK is a hugely popular and oversubscribed conference that attracts the very best of programming talent from across the UK, Europe and elsewhere. Our conference is regularly featured in both the trade and national press. Why? Because PyCon UK is organised by the Python community for the Python community with the support of our sponsors (that's where you come in). Full details can be found here: http://www.pyconuk.org/sponsorship/ Community Tickets and Volunteers ================================ Since the early bird ticket was of no benefit to attendees or conference organisers we've scrapped it. In its place is a reduced rate "Community" ticket. By purchasing one of these limited number of tickets you will be agreeing to contribute to the conference as a volunteer (either as a session chair, stage hand, meeter and greeter or workshop wizard - we'd expect around 2 hours of your time as an appropriate contribution). If your talk is accepted for PyCon UK you will also be offered a "Community" ticket since you are also contributing to the conference. Full details can be found here: http://www.pyconuk.org/volunteer/ Conference Meal =============== The hugely popular conference meal is no longer included in the cost of the conference ticket. You'll need to buy a conference meal ticket separately. We have also had to limited the number of meal places to 150. It's a popular event, so book your place while you can. Education Track =============== Once again we have an education track. But this year it's bigger and better than ever. We will have the usual teacher's training day on Friday 18th and the kids' day on Saturday 19th. This year we'll be collaborating with both the Raspberry Pi Foundation and the Jam Packed "roadshow" to make these as brilliant, fun and, er, explosive as ever. In addition, on Friday 18th we will have a Trans*Code (http://trans-code.org/) hack-day and a Django Girls (http://djangogirls.org/) workshop. Participants in the Trans*Code and Django Girls events are eligable for a full conference ticket including the conference meal should they wish to stay the full weekend. To apply for a Trans*Code or Django Girls place please register your interest via this form: https://docs.google.com/form/d/1uoGFiJAlwg4r0WycpwdvuveaLq_fIdfU3Dq0SdBgdCQ/viewform Science Track ============= >From Saturday 19th will by PyCon UK's first ever Science track for, er, scientists who use Python! It will feature tutorials, talks and collaborative coding. The tickets for this event are supported by the Software Sustainability Institute. Full details can be found here: http://www.pyconuk.org/science/ Skeleton Schedule ================= Want to know how the conference is shaping up? Take a look at the skeleton schedule for a heads up on all the stuff happening over a very busy weekend: http://www.pyconuk.org/schedule/ Code of Conduct =============== We have one (http://www.pyconuk.org/codeofconduct/) and we expect you to have read it and follow it whilst engaged with the conference. Discuss PyCon UK ================ If you want to discuss this year's conference please subscribe to the official mailing list: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pyconuk John Pinner =========== On Friday evening we celebrate the life, work and friendship of John Pinner - the founder and chair of the organising committee who tragically lost his fight with cancer in the spring. We will run a bring-your-own buffet with an entrance fee of ?5. All proceeds will be donated to Cancer Research UK. See you at PyCon UK!
