[EuroPython] A weekend full of hacking

[info at pycon.it]

The last two days of EuroPython, Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th, are dedicated to
more hands-on hacking sessions. Have look at the full offer!

## Sprints

A sprint is a self-organized session where programmers join together to work
on a specific project, usually open-source and connected to the Python
ecosystem. The sprint is usually proposed and driven by one or more
programmers who are already expert on the specific project (maybe even
maintainers), and are willing to help out more programmers to introduce them
into the project.

Have a look at the [sprint list](https://ep2013.europython.eu/p3/sprints/) and
add yourself to a sprint, or propose a new sprint!

## Google AppEngine Hackathon

Together with EuroPython, Google is organizing a Google App Engine Hackathon.
An entire day of fun coding on App Engine platform.

Teams are free to create any software project based on Google App Engine. No
runtime restriction (Java, Python, Go and even PHP), total freedom on final
hack, it can be a backend only apps, backend + web or mobile frontends,
anything you like.

The only constrain is that your hack has to be fueled by App Engine. Plus you
have all the other GAE companions at your disposal: Cloud Endpoints to create
RESTful APIs, Cloud Storage and Cloud SQL to manage storage, Prediction API
and much more. And yes, they're going to be some prizes for the best teams ;)

The hackathon will be held in the Pizza Margherita room, and will start at
9:00 on Saturday.

Have a look at the full schedule and preregister on the [dedicated
page](http://www.eventbrite.com/event/7166853251).

## Advanced Python training course

The [Advanced Python training
course](https://ep2013.europython.eu/conference/talks/advanced-python-2), that
will be held by our sponsors Python Academy, is a fantastic way to increase
your Python competences and learn about all the more advanced features of the
language that will make your programming experience even better. We got
stellar feedback from last year course by Python Academy, so it's highly
recommended. The course is two-days long (Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th), and
requires a separate registration fee. Have a look at the [full
description](https://ep2013.europython.eu/conference/talks/advanced-python-2).
