The idea behind the conference is to try to animate central- and east-european Python and Ruby communities. We would like to put together Python & Ruby experts with young programmers and to support a good communication channel for East-West exchange of prospective ideas. Since we can see relation between the idea of EuroPython and the purpose of RuPy we would like to ask you as a experienced organizers to offer us some help. We are still looking for speakers for our conference, therefore we would be grateful if you could point us some communication channels through which we would be able to convince people to present their Ruby and Python related ideas in Poznan next year. Perhaps you could also popularize the idea of RuPy among your friends and Python colleagues, especially among those who have some ideas they want to introduce to wider audience. Speakers' registration includes attendance at lecture sessions on both days of the Conference, all refreshments during the coffee breaks and Conference lunches. For each participant Organizers guarantee free accommodation and full board during the Conference. Each Speaker will also be entitled to partial reimbursement for the travel expenses. Speakers are also more than welcome to participate in all extra events including guided sightseeing, conference Banquet and other entertainments provided by Organizers.

It sounds like an interesting plan, and I note that some people in the Python community have already publicised it somewhat, some even stating that they will be attending. > Since we can see relation between the idea of EuroPython and the purpose of > RuPy we would like to ask you as a experienced organizers to offer us some > help.

What you could do is to contact the python.org webmaster and try and get the conference mentioned in the news section, particularly as the deadlines approach. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a mention: other conferences such as OSDC aren't Python-specific, and at least yours has Python in the name. ;-) I see that the Python events page has RuPy already mentioned: http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEvents Another avenue, perhaps taken already, is that of getting Ron Stephens to mention RuPy in his Python411 podcast. I'm sure he wouldn't mind mentioning it again, even some time in advance: his latest podcast was about PyCon, and that's at the end of February. Paul P.S. I haven't said it already, but perhaps now is as good a time as any to say thank you once again to the organisers of EuroPython 2006 at CERN. I'm particularly impressed that a high number of presenters were persuaded to upload their talks, and I hope that as the Web site is updated for 2007 we don't obscure or restrict the availability of those talks.

Some other questions: 1/ was there any other income than the paid entries ? Any sponsor that gave mony ? 2/ was there any "local sponsors" that gave the time of their paid staff ? If any, how many hours ? 3/ I do not see any actual figures for the expenses but the ones that were budgeted. Were these figures collected, and if yes, can I have them. With respect to the budget, the conf was balanced, but if the expenses were not diminished to match the incomes, it must have been in the red. Was it ? If yes, who paid the last expenses ? 4/ where there any documents that were gathered and already collected to build such a sponsoring document ? 5/ about last year: did Google pay any money to be a local, advertising presence ? If yes, how much and would Google like to redo this ? who is in charge with the contact with Google recruitment people who attended EP ? Guido himself ?

We have almost always had 3 parallel tracks, running for at least 10 sessions (2 morning and 2 afternoon sessions). The remaining 2 sessions have varied a bit. In Belgium, people started going home by lunch of the 3rd day, but later, people have stayed longer. We can now expect most people to stay the full 3 days. Traditionally, we have had at least 1 session of lightning talks, and of late we have had 2 of them. Early on, the length of a talk could vary, taking 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes, but at the latest conference all talks were limited to 30 minutes. I think this is a good formula. If you can't bring across the essence of what you would like people to take an interest in, in 30 minutes, you probably shouldn't be giving a presentation. So, an estimate is that there will be 80-100 speakers - some people give more than one talk and a few talks have more than one speaker. We have had the keynote speeches at the end of the first 2 days, with a conference dinner after the keynote on the second day. There has to be facilities (room, electricity, internet connection, reasonable temperature) for sprinting both before and after the conference. The pattern has been that a small group of people (about 10) have wanted to sprint for about 4 days before the conference and a lagre group (40 dwindling to 10) sprints for about 6 days after the conference. There are people who are willing to sponsor the conference, but contacting them and pulling the deal all the way through to having their ads in the programme/posted at the conference and getting paid takes some work, which someone has to be willing to do and has to have time for. We are still at the level that this yields less than 1000 Euro. This can be a nice source of revenue in the future, if the organisers maintain sponsor relations and make sure the sponsors feel that they get good value for their sponsorship. In 2004, I had about half a dozen sponsors. In 2005 I didn't have time to keep this part going and it was left more or less unattended both 2005 and 2006. In 2006, Google was there as a sponsor. I don't know the details of what it yilded, but there was a google merchandise lottery and everyone got a google t-shirt. Unless there was a problem this year, Europython has a reasonable stack of money, which means that the organisers don't have to take a financial risk. If fewer people than expected show up, there is a buffer which can pay the bills. (You still need to keep a tight budget and know all costs in advance. Things can go really bad in a hurry if you don't.) Another possible source of a financial guarantee which we haven't tried so far is the PSF. For staffing, you have the track chairs who keep tab of their tracks, the reception and the tech support. The track chairs are volunteers from all over Europe. You need to supply them with written instructions about how to keep times, how to operate the equipment and whom to contact if they are unable to solve a problem on their own. After that they manage themselves during the conference (handling tracks before the conference is a different bag of beans - ask Michael Hudson about details). For reception, you need about 10 people on the first morning, form 2 hours before the conference starts until 2 hours after it has begun. This is when everyone picks up badges, walk in attendees register and all the unexpected problems show up. If you don't have the luxury of having the venue to yourself the day before, this is also when you have to put up all the signage. After the early rush, a single person can handle the reception; at least if you make sure everyone gets a proper invoice to print at registration time (what a proper invoice is, you can find in the archives of the europython mailing list, I wrote an extensive description). Otherwise you will have one person fully occupied doing invoices for people and still have invoices to send out after the conference. Bad move. In 2004 I had some volunteer students from Chalmers. This did not work out all that well, because 2 out of 4 showed up late. From being understaffed, we became extremely understaffed. In 2005 I sent the developers of my company to staff the reception. This worked extremely well and I had time to attend talks, be sociable and make sure things were runing smoothly. In 2006, the initial rush was handled by the CERN professional conference support staff. Tres cool. After that, I think the job of reception was split between 3 people, which meant that they were tied up more than I think is reasonable. I'm afraid there are no good texts to present to financers. We can supply the raw data, but the texts you will have to come up with yourself. In any case, I think that both Rome and Brussels would be fun places to have Europython. The one thing I worry about is cost of accomodation. Europython really strives to be affordable for students and people from the not so rich countries in Europe. In Sweden, we had reasonably priced accomodation in the student residence area, and CERN had its hostel. Vilnius is still quite moderately priced in general.

Another possible source of > a financial guarantee which we haven't tried so far is the PSF. At the moment we have: ~10.000 SEK in the main bank account ~49.000 SEK coming in from PayPal to main bank account ~18.000 EUR in the secondary bank accounts 1 EUR is approx. 8.5-9.0 SEK the money received from Payson (Swedish PayPal equiv) + the money received from at-the-door-fees has been inserted into the above numbers. The amount may change depending on whether I find more old invoices waiting to be paid or not (about a week ago I had to pay a big invoice of 25.000 SEK dating back to conference for 2005 ). That said, I think all the big invoices are paid and there should be very few, if any, small invoices for 2006 to be paid. I expect the numbers above to be fairly static from now on, or even increase a bit: I stil have to verify that all sponsors have paid their invoices.
