Hi,

there is a problem with the paypal payment option. Paypal issues this
warning:

"We cannot process this transaction because there is a problem with the
PayPal email address supplied by the seller. Please contact the seller to
resolve the problem. If this payment is for an eBay listing, you can
contact the seller via the "Ask Seller a Question" link on the listing
page. When you have the correct email address, payment can be made at
www.paypal.com."

Best regards,
Roberto

Thanks for the notification. I've opened a ticket for this:

Until Paypal is fixed, please use the Stripe payment option if
possible.

Team,

Can I make a minor suggestion re the registration page above - please 
but at least a summary of the prices above the "the price includes" 
section - many people are reluctant to click on a "Buy" button before 
knowing at least rough idea of how much they might be spending.

We have 350 early-bird tickets available. Half of those have been sold

We would like to thank everyone who bought a ticket and put trust in
us to make the conference an interesting and inspiring event - even
without knowing the talks and topics which will be covered in the
conference.

We?d also like to apologize for the Paypal payment system not working
yesterday. This is fixed, so you can use Paypal to pay your tickets if
you don?t want to use a credit card.

Hi,

John's funeral will take place at 1pm on 17th March at the Robin Hood
Crematorium, Solihull, B90 3NL. Everyone will be welcome and the wake
will be at a local hostelry (details tbc).

If you would like to make a charitable donation in memory of John (all
proceeds to be donated to the Marie Curie Hospice in Solihull) then
please transfer money to the following account held by the PyconUK
Society:

    Bank Name: The Co-operative Bank plc.
    Account Name: PyconUK
    Sort Code: 08-92-99
    Account Number: 65704590
    IBAN: GB39CPBK08929965704590

All the details and any updates can be found at the following wiki page:

http://pyconuk.net/InMemoriam

(Since John ran the wiki and configured the surge control it is sadly
appropriate that you may get an HTTP 429 "Too Many Requests" response
or an HTTP 504 "Gateway Timeout". John won't be there to give the
PyconUK MoinMoin a kick.)

Rest in peace, John. We have lost a mentor, leader and friend.

as above Johns funeral is at 1pm at Robin Hood Crem then afterwards at
Robin Hood Toby Carvery

Everyone welcome but would you please let me know by Fri 13th march if you
are going to partake of the carvery as they need a rough estimation of
numbers (so as to get enough joints in) as they don't want to run out of
meat

Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2015: Announcing standard ticket prices
Message-ID: <54FF0340.40903@europython.eu>

Last week has been very busy. We?ve launched the website, started the
early-bird ticket sales and handled the first round of attendee
questions with our brand new help desk system (based on
django-helpdesk).

At the same time, we have been finalizing the budget for the
conference, which now allows us to set the standard ticket prices for
this year. We tried to keep student prices as low as possible, since
we would like to see more students at the conference:

    Student: EUR 120.00
    Personal: EUR 340.00
    Business: EUR 530.00

    (incl. 10% Spanish VAT)

Early-bird tickets are nearly sold out but we still have a few
left. If you want to save some money, you can still get these tickets
at highly reduced prices.

         *** https://ep2015.europython.eu/en/registration/ ***

After the early-bird tickets have sold out, we?ll close the
registration for a short while and then reopen it with the standard
prices. Given the rush to early-bird tickets, we expect the conference
to sell out again this year, so don?t wait too long before getting
one.


Enjoy,

We are very happy to announce that early-bird tickets are sold out!

             The tickets were sold in less than a week!

We?d like to thank everyone for the fantastic feedback. Given the rush
to the early-bird tickets (we sold 100 tickets in the first 4 hours),
we recommend to not wait too long before getting your standard
ticket. It is likely, we?ll sell out early again this year.

As announced we had temporarily closed the registration for a short
while today and have now reopened it with the standard rate prices:

Do you have any recommendation to give to people that would like to
give a talk, and would not come to EuroPython at all if their talk
were rejected?  It sounds likely that all tickets will be sold out a
lot earlier than that.  (I'm probably not in that situation myself,
but I would be if this were PyCon US for example).


A bient?t,

The final schedule will be announced early in May, so yes, there
is a chance that we'll sell out by then.

However, please note that we will fully refund tickets until June 20th
(modulo the admin costs), so it's possible to buy a ticket now
and then get a refund if the talk is not selected.

Of course, this doesn't help much if you also want to book
hotel and flight early, since those are often not refundable
or only with a high fee.

BTW: Speakers will get a 25% discount on the ticket price. This
can either be had at the conference desk or donated to the
financial aid.

Cheers,

What occurs if someone doesn't buy his ticket, is selected, and then
cannot buy a ticket any more?  From my point of view, you might either
officially support this case (by reserving a few extra tickets for
these speakers), or explicitly ask on the talk submission page that
all potential speakers *must* have a ticket already (which they could
get refund on later).  The problem with the second option is that all
tickets may be gone before the submission deadline.


A bient?t,

Armin.

I doubt that we'll sell out that fast, but I'll bring this up
in with the finance WG to see whether it's better to ask speakers
to by a ticket before submitting a talk.

Reserving a few extra tickets is probably the better option,
since refunds cause a lot of extra work.

Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2015: Call for proposal dates available
Message-ID: <5501922C.40207@europython.eu>

The Program work group (WG) has decided on the dates for the Call for
Proposal (CFP) dates:

                Monday, 2015-03-16  Tuesday, 2015-04-14

You will be able to submit your proposals through the EuroPython
website during these 4 weeks.

We have these types of presentations available for submission:

 * Talks: 170 slots available (80x 30min, 85x 45min, 5x 60min)
 * Trainings: 20 slots
 * Posters: 25 slots
 * Help desks: 5 slots

Please note that the exact number of submissions we can accept depends
on schedule and room requirements, so the above numbers are only
estimates. Talk times include time for questions.

The full Call for Proposal with all details will be made available on
Monday, 2015-03-16. We are publishing these dates early because we?ve
been getting a lot of requests for the CFP dates.

Talks/Trainings in Spanish and Basque
-------------------------------------

Since EuroPython is hosted in Bilbao and EuroPython has traditionally
always been very open to the local Python communities, we are also
accepting a number of talks and trainings in Spanish and Basque.

All other talks/trainings should be held in English.

Talk voting
-----------

As in 2013, we will again have talk voting, which means that attendees
who have already registered will get to see the talk submissions and
can vote on them. The Program WG will also set aside a number of slots
which they will then select based on other criteria to e.g. increase
diversity or give a chance to less mainstream topics.

The schedule will then be announced early in May.


Enjoy,

I will post these questions to the program WG. They will then
add this information to the CFP to be announced on Monday.

Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2015: Call for Proposals
Message-ID: <55089034.2050904@europython.eu>

We?re looking for proposals on every aspect of Python: programming
from novice to advanced levels, applications and frameworks, or how
you have been involved in introducing Python into your
organization. EuroPython is a community conference and we are eager to
hear about your experience.

Please also forward this Call for Proposals to anyone that you feel
may be interested.

                        Submit your proposal !

     *** https://ep2015.europython.eu/en/call-for-proposals/ ***

Submissions will be open from Monday, March 16, until Tuesday, April 14.



Presenting at EuroPython
------------------------

We will accept a broad range of presentations, from reports on
academic and commercial projects to tutorials and case studies. As
long as the presentation is interesting and potentially useful to the
Python community, it will be considered for inclusion in the
program.

Can you show something new and useful? Can you show the attendees how
to: use a module? Explore a Python language feature? Package an
application? If so, please consider submitting a talk.

First-time speakers are especially welcome.

There are four different kinds of contributions that you can present
at EuroPython:

 * Regular talk / 170 slots.

    These are standard ?talks with slides?, allocated in slots of
        30 minutes (80 slots)
        45 minutes (85 slots)
        60 minutes (5 slots)

    depending on your preference and scheduling constraints. A Q&A
    session is held at the end of the talk and included in the time
    slot.

 * Hands-on training / 20 slots.

    These are advanced training sessions to dive into the subject with
    all details. These sessions are 2.5 - 3 hours long. The training
    attendees will be encouraged to bring a laptop. They should be
    prepared with less slides and more source code. Room capacity for
    the two trainings rooms is 70 and 180 seats.

 * Posters / 25 slots

    Posters are a graphical way to describe a project or a technology,
    printed in large formats; posters are exhibited at the conference,
    can be read at any time by participants, and can be discussed face
    to face with their authors during the poster session.

 * Helpdesk / 5 slots

    Helpdesks are a great way to share your experience on a
    technology, by offering to help people answering their questions
    and solving their practical problems. You can run a helpdesk by
    yourself or with colleagues and friends. People looking for help
    will sign up for a 30 minute slot, get there and talk to
    you. There is no specific preparation needed; you just need to be
    proficient in the technology you run the helpdesk for.

Discounts for speakers and trainers
-----------------------------------

Since EuroPython is a not-for-profit community conference, it is not
possible to pay out rewards for talks or trainings. Speakers of
regular talks will instead have a special 25% discount on the
conference ticket, trainings get a 100% discount to compensate for the
longer preparation time. Please note that we can not give discounts to
submitters of posters or helpdesk proposals.

Topics and Goals
----------------

Suggested topics for EuroPython presentations include, but are not
limited to:

 * Core Python

 * Alternative Python implementations: e.g. Jython, IronPython, PyPy,
   and Stackless

 * Python libraries and extensions

 * Python 2 to 3 migration

 * Databases

 * Documentation

 * GUI Programming

 * Game Programming

 * Network Programming

 * Open Source Python projects

 * Packaging Issues

 * Programming Tools

 * Project Best Practices

 * Embedding and Extending

 * Education, Science and Math

 * Web-based Systems

Presentation goals are usually some of the following:

 * Introduce the audience to a new topic

 * Introduce the audience to new developments on a well-known topic

 * Show the audience real-world usage scenarios for a specific topic
   (case study)

 * Dig into advanced and relatively-unknown details on a topic

 * Compare different solutions available on the market for a topic

Language for Talks & Trainings
------------------------------

Talks and training should, in general, be held in English.

However, since EuroPython is hosted in Bilbao and EuroPython has
traditionally always been very open to the local Python communities,
we are also accepting a number of talks and trainings in Spanish and
Basque.

The talk submission form lets you choose the language you want to give
the talk in.

If you speak Basque/Spanish and don?t feel comfortable speaking
English, please submit the talk title and abstract directly in
Spanish/Basque. If you are able to give the talk in multiple
languages, please submit one proposals for the talk in each language,
with title and description adjusted accordingly.

Inappropriate Language and Imagery
----------------------------------

Please consider that EuroPython is a conference with an audience from
a broad geographical area which spans countries and regions with
vastly different cultures. What might be considered a ?funny,
inoffensive joke? in a region might be really offensive (if not even
unlawful) in another. If you want to add humor, references and images
to your talk, avoid any choice that might be offensive to a group
which is different from yours, and pay attention to our EuroPython
Code of Conduct.

Community Based Talk Voting
---------------------------

Attendees who have bought a ticket in time for the Talk Voting period
gain the right to vote for talks submitted during the Call For
Proposals.

The Program WG will also set aside a number of slots which they will
then select based on other criteria to e.g. increase diversity or give
a chance to less mainstream topics.

Release agreement for submissions
---------------------------------

All submissions will be made public during the community talk voting,
to allow all registrants to discuss the proposals. After finalizing
the schedule, talks that are not accepted will be removed from the
public website. Accepted submissions will stay online for the
foreseeable future.

We also ask all speakers to:

 * accept the video recording of their presentation

 * upload their talk materials to the EuroPython website

 * accept the EuroPython Speaker Release Agreement which allows the
   EPS to make the talk recordings and uploaded materials available
   under a CC BY-NC-SA license

Talk slides will be made available on the EuroPython web site. Talk
video recordings will be uploaded to the EuroPython YouTube channel
and archived on archive.org.
