Lemburg) Date: Fri, 6 Jan 2017 17:00:53 +0100 Subject: [PSF-Community] ANN: Python Events Calendar - Please submit your 2017 events Message-ID: <73fae369-b180-e95c-b05d-62e23b60fc12@python.org> [Please help spread the word by forwarding to other relevant mailing lists, user groups, etc. world-wide; thanks :-)] ________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING Python Events Calendars - Please submit your 2017 events maintained by the Python Software Foundation (PSF) and a group of volunteers ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION As some of you may know, the PSF has a team of volunteers who are maintaining a set of central Python event calendars. We currently have two calendars in place: * Python Events Calendar - meant for conferences and larger gatherings focusing on Python or a related technology (in whole or in part) * Python User Group Calendar - meant for user group events and other smaller local events The calendars are displayed on https://www.python.org/events/ and http://pycon.org/. There's also a map mashup to show events near you or get an overview of what currently going in the Python community: http://lmorillas.github.io/python_events/ You can subscribe to the calendars using iCal and RSS feeds and also embed the calendar widgets on your sites. We have also added a Twitter feed @PythonEvents to get immediate updates whenever a new event is added. Please see our wiki page for details: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEventsCalendar The calendars are open to the world-wide Python community, so you can have local user group events, as well as regional and international conference events added to the calendars. ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS Looking back, the calendars have proven to be a great tool for the Python community to connect, with more than 250 conferences and more than a hundred of user group events listed since 2012. We would therefore like to encourage everyone to submit their 2017 events, so that the Python community can get a better overview over what's happening in Python land. ________________________________________________________________________ ADDING EVENTS Please see the instructions at https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEventsCalendar#Submitting_an_Event for details on how to submit an event. We've made it really easy for you: just need to send an email to our team address using the email template we provide for this. Thanks. ________________________________________________________________________ MORE INFORMATION More information on the calendars, the URLs, feed links, IDs, embedding, etc. is available on the wiki: https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEventsCalendar Enjoy, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg Python Software Foundation http://www.python.org/psf/ http://www.malemburg.com/ From stephane at wirtel.be Mon Jan 9 04:54:49 2017 From: stephane at wirtel.be (Stephane Wirtel) Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2017 10:54:49 +0100 Subject: [PSF-Community] Python Events in 2017, Need your help. Message-ID: <20170109095449.v4ual5czl5mc7xxs@sg1> Dear Community, For the PythonFOSDEM [1] on 4th and 5th February in Belgium, I would like to present some slides with the Python events around the World. Based on https://python.org/events, I have noted that there are missing events, for example: * PyCon Otto: Italy * PyCon UK: United Kingdom * PyCon CA: Canada * PyCon Ireland: Ireland * PyCon France: France Some of these events are not yet announced and I understand they are in the second semester, and thus, they don't know the location and the dates, excepted for PyCon Otto (April). In fact, I have noted that we know some big events in the Python community (for example: PyCon US and EuroPython) but do you know the others events, maybe the local event, PyCon IE, PyCon UK or PyCon IT. I like to know where there is a PyCon or a Django Conf or a PyData Event. In fact, I think we can help the Python Community if we submit all the events in https://python.org/events. This page has been created by the PSF and is maintained by some volunteers. I know this list of events: * PyCon Cameroon : 20-23 Jav, Cameroon * PythonFOSDEM : 4-5 Feb, Belgium * PyCon Colombia : 10-12 Feb, Colombia * PyCon Pune : 16-20 Feb, India * Swiss Python Summit : 17-18 Feb, Switzerland * IrPyCon : 17-18 Feb, Iran * PyCon SK : 10-13 Mar, Slovakia * Django Europe : 3-8 Apr, Italy * PyCon Otto : 6-9 Apr, Italy * Python Sudeste : 5-7 Mai, Brazil * GeoPython : 8-11 May, Switzerland * PyCon US : 17-26 May, USA * EuroPython : July, Italy * PyCon AU : 3-9 Aug, Australia * PyCon UK : September, United Kingdom * PyCon CA : November, Canada * PyCon Ireland : October, Ireland * PyCon FR : October/November, France And you ? Please, could you check on https://www.python.org/events/ , if you are an organizer, please add your event. If you think there is a missing event, please, send me the info via [email](mailto:stephane at wirtel.be) or via my [twitter account](https://twitter.com/matrixise) and I will add it on my slides. I would like to present your event. Thank you so much for your help.
