Hi,

Sorry, in my excitement to send out the announcement I missed the link to the pyastro web site: http://openastronomy.org/pyastro/2018/

Hi,

It is my pleasure to announce, on behalf of the Scientific Organizing Committee, that applications are now open for Python in Astronomy 2018, to be held 30 Apr - 4 May 2018 at the Center for Computational Astrophysics at the Flatiron Institute in New York, NY.

Though the application form will be open until 23:59UTC on Dec 9, 2017, I encourage you to complete the form soon to make sure you don’t miss the deadline.

The application form is at: https://goo.gl/forms/AGuoU8mUFv3WJ8Qn2

More information about the conference, and links to past years, is available at:

Finally, a brief excerpt from the description of the conference:

In addition to sharing information about state-of-the art Python Astronomy packages, the workshop will focus on improving interoperability between astronomical Python packages, mentoring  open-source contributors, and developing educational materials for Python in Astronomy. The meeting is therefore not only aimed at current developers and users, but also educators or others who are interested in being involved in these efforts.

Participant selection will be made with the goal of enhancing the Python in Astronomy community and we particularly encourage requests to attend from junior astronomers and people who are new to contributing to open source software. Effort will also be made to select participants who have a demonstrated potential to contribute meaningfully to the Python in Astronomy infrastructure via providing educational materials, documentation, and/or coding. This conference is neither intended to be an introduction to Python nor only for expert-level Python developers.

Thanks,
Matt Craig, on behalf of the SOC:
