Quoting from europython2009.eu Home Page: """ EuroPython 2009 will be held from Sunday 28th June to Saturday 4th July at the Birmingham Conservatoire. The core conference is from Tuesday 30th June to Thursday 2nd July, preceded by 2 days of tutorials and followed by developers' sprints. """ > BTW, who usually organises the sprints for Europython? The sprinters. The organisers provide the facilities, the sprinters organise themselves. > We need those > people back as in the UK conferences we have, despite our best > efforts, failed to get sprints going, True for 2007, but 2008 was a bit better, thanks largely to Jacob Kaplan-Moss. > possibly because the UK > situation regarding time off is not as generous as some other Northern > European countries. I don't think that time off is much to do with it, there is a different audience for EuroPython and sprints have not infiltrated the python-uk culture (yet). > We especially need help from the rest of Europe > for sprints. We need help for everything. John -- _______________________________________________ Europython-improve mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython-improve
