Lemburg) Date: Thu, 7 May 2020 21:01:23 +0200 Subject: [PSF-Community] Sharing our research and licenses for going online with Python events Message-ID: <24e1136c-7e97-fcbf-7b85-276d034dedc5@egenix.com> In March 2020, we had to make a tough decision on whether to cancel EuroPython 2020 or run it online. Since we did not want to lose continuity and all the work we had already put into the in-person event, we decided to go for an online version. Now, just as many other in-person events, running the online version required a lot of research, experimentation, gaining knowledge in using online conference tools and finding a concept which would allow us to carry over as much of the in-person conference experience to the online version as possible. * EuroPython 2020 Online * https://ep2020.europython.eu/ This is an on-going effort, but we believe that our existing research will help other Python events go online as well and want to share this knowledge with you. Running Online Conferences -------------------------- The two central documents we have are: - EuroPython 2020 - Online Conference Tools This covers research on a lot of different tools available out there, our experience with them, hints and tips on how to use them effectively (esp. for Zoom and Discord). https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OAVtZnxVgmkDGvSV1vEzra7m5Nfjr-81kCrustzxAek/edit# - EuroPython 2020 - Virtual Conference Concept Since we had to start afresh with the conference concept, we ran and still are running a brainstorming phase to come up with ideas and are now starting to materialize these into a concept, which we?ll use as basis for running EuroPython this year. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aGnYM3RlyLFUmdhnykGfgD6gNXJYo8zateu9Re_fdNg/edit# If you have questions around these documents and their content, feel free to contact us at helpdesk at europython.eu. Sharing our Zoom Webinar and Pro licenses ----------------------------------------- In addition to sharing our research, we?d also like to share the Zoom Webinar and Pro licenses we have with other events, where possible. We have already shared them with: - PyAmsterdam - Remote Python Pizza The only thing we ask is that some of our work group members can participate in the event as co-host to observe and help, since we need to train and gain more experience in using these tools. As a bonus, we can also help with the configuration and share our existing experience. If you?re interested in this, please get in contact with us at helpdesk at europython.eu. Help spread the word -------------------- Please help us spread this message by sharing it on your social networks as widely as possible. Thank you !

This is a real advantage of running an online event: without the need to travel, joining an event becomes much easier. * EuroPython 2020 Online 2nd CFP * https://ep2020.europython.eu/call-for-proposals/ To make it possible for speakers from the Americas and India/Asia/Pacific regions to give talks at EuroPython 2020 as well, we have decided to extend the schedule and provide extra slots in the CEST morning and the evening hours, so that we can have almost 80 talk slots available, and run a second CFP with specific emphasis on submissions from outside the central European time zones. Submitting a talk ----------------- We will run this second CFP from May 11 until May 24. To submit a talk, please visit our CFP page on the website. This has all the necessary details on how to submit a talk. We would also welcome submissions for helpdesks and posters, regardless of time zone, since we haven?t received any in the first CFP. Results from the first CFP -------------------------- The results from the first CFP will be announced on Sunday (May 10). Help spread the word -------------------- Please help us spread this message by sharing it on your social networks as widely as possible. Thank you !

Together with the newly added slots for the Indian / Asian / Pacific and Americas time zones, we now have a fully packed program, with: - more than 110 sessions - more than 110 speakers from around the world - 4 brilliant keynotes, two of which are already published - 2 exciting lightning talk blocks - 4 all-day tracks, with a whole track dedicated to data science topics - a poster track, which we?ll announce next week - a virtual social event - an after party - and lots of socializing on our conference platform We are proud to have reached almost the size of our in-person event with the online version of EuroPython 2020. Never miss a talk ----------------- All talks will be made available to the attendees as live Webinars, with easy switching between tracks, as well as online streams, which will allow rewinding to watch talks you may have missed during the day. Conference Tickets ------------------ Conference tickets are available on our registration page. We have simplified and greatly reduced the prices for the EuroPython 2020 online edition: https://ep2020.europython.eu/registration/buy-tickets/ As always, all proceeds from the conference will go into our grants budget, which we use to fund financial aid for the next EuroPython edition, special workshops and other European conferences and projects: * EuroPython Society Grants Program * https://www.europython-society.org/grants We hope to see lots of you at the conference in July. Rest assured that we?ll make this a great event again ? even within the limitations of running the conference online. Sprints ------- On Saturday and Sunday, we will have sprints/hackathons on a variety of topics. Registration of sprint topics has already started. If you would like to run a sprint, please add your sprint topic to the wiki page we have available for this: * EuroPython 2020 Sprints Listing * https://wiki.python.org/moin/EuroPython2020/Sprints If registrations continue as they currently do, we will have a few hundred people waiting to participate in your sprint projects, so this is the perfect chance for you to promote your project and find new contributors. Participation in the sprints is free, but does require registration. We will provide the necessary collaboration tools in form of dedicated Jitsi or Zoom virtual rooms and text channels on our Discord server. EuroPython is your conference ----------------------------- EuroPython has always been a completely volunteer based effort. The organizers work hundreds of hours to make the event happen and will try very hard to create an inspiring and exciting event. However, we can only provide the setting. You, as our attendees, are the ones who fill it with life and creativity. We are very much looking forward to having you at the conference !
