I think you're talking about [1], right?

I got into pytest as part of the "Adopt pytest month", so I'm rather
new to it - but I certainly know how to use it, write fixtures, and
recently wrote a plugin[2] (and contributed to others[3][4]) for it.

Looking at that overview, I'm confident I'd be able to do that, even
though I'm only using pytest for 1-2 months.

This would probably make the difference between coming and not coming
to EuroPython for me - I never was there before, and with the entrance
fee, I dismissed it as being too expensive for me[*], but looking at
the flight/hotel prices, I could afford that part.

So if there isn't someone else who'd take it and you think I could do
it, let's talk!

(Holger: If you prefer you can also query me on IRC, The-Compiler on
Freenode - tried to ping you there, but without any success)

[*] I'm aware of the financial aid they're offering - but in theory I
    do have the money, I just don't want to spend that much as I'm
    saving for my upcoming studies - but at the same time, that makes
    me feel like others can use that support more and I shouldn't
    "exploit" it.
