EuroSciPy - First Slides Online

[Mike Müller]

Greetings,

The conference is just a bit more than two weeks
ahead.

I am happy to announce that the first slides are available.
They can be found at the conference page:

There is a link "slides" marked with an info icon just behind
the talk title.

Alternatively, all submitted slides are listed here:

About EuroSciPy
---------------
EuroSciPy is designed to complement the popular SciPy
Conferences which have been held for the last 7 years at
Caltech (the 2008 SciPy Conference in the U.S. will be held
the week of August 19-24). Similarly, the EuroSciPy Conference
provides a unique opportunity to learn and affect what is
happening in the realm of scientific computing with Python.
Attendees will have the opportunity to review the available
tools and how they apply to specific problems.
By providing a forum for developers to share their Python
expertise with the wider commercial, academic, and research
communities, this conference fosters collaboration and
facilitates the sharing of software components, techniques and
a vision for high level language use in scientific computing.
Typical presentations include general python use in the
sciences, as well as NumPy and SciPy usage for general problem
solving.  Beyond the excellent talks, there are inter-
session discussions that prove stimulating and helpful.
Registration will include breakfast, snacks and lunch for
Saturday and Sunday.

For those doing scientific computing using Python,
this is a conference you'll not want to miss.

Please pass this announcement along to any other relevant
contacts.

Many Thanks,
Mike Müller
