ANNOUNCING

         Python Events Calendars - Please submit your 2015 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 http://pycon.org/ and also on the new
https://python.org/ website at https://www.python.org/events/python-events/
and https://www.python.org/events/python-user-group/.

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 on 2014, the calendars have proven to be a great tool
for the Python community to connect, with more than 60 conferences
and more than a hundred of user group events listed.

We would therefore like to encourage everyone to submit their
2015 events, so that the Python community can get a better overview
over what's happening in Python land.
