Great, and here is what we've just sent to the Ubuntu podcast people:
Hi, Ubuntu UK Podcast Team.
How would you like to give our conference, EuroPython 2009, a plug in
your next show?
EuroPython is the main European conference for the Python programming
language and this year it's being held in the UK. With Ubuntu using
Python so much, we thought the Ubuntu community should know about it.
Here's a summary of what's happening:
"""
The talks list has now been released, and the programme will be coming very
soon, for EuroPython 2009, the European Python community conference taking
place from Sunday 28th June to Saturday 4th July at the Conservatoire in
Birmingham, United Kingdom. EuroPython 2009 offers...
* 5 parallel talk tracks covering a wide selection of topics over 3 whole
days,
* 2 whole days of tutorials,
* Inspirational keynotes from luminaries including Professor Sir
Tony Hoare and Cory Doctorow,
* 4 days of Python sprints, two before and two after the core conference.
For more information about available talks and registration, take a look at
our website at europython.eu.
"""
With five weeks to go we have 300 delegates from all over the world
registered already and with a strong social programme a good time is
guaranteed for all!
Cheers,
Nick Booker

Cheers,
John

>
> EuroPython is the official community conference for Python Programmers
> across Europe. This year it is being held in the Birmingham
> Conservatoire, where previous UK Python events and some recent UKUUG
> events have been held. We are expecting 300-400 delegates from across
> Europe. However, there will be many familiar faces as several of the
> conference organisers and speakers are UKUUG members.
>
> The first two days, Sunday 28th June 2009 and Monday 29th June 2009,
> are tutorial days, including an introductory tutorial for those who
> have never programmed in Python before.
>
> The main conference, from the 30th June to 2nd July, has talks from
> the leading Python programmers from across Europe. Speakers include
> Professor Sir Tony Hoare, Cory Doctorow, Jim Hugunin, Bruce Eckel,
> Simon Willison, Christian Tismer, Emily Bache, Stani Michiels and
> Michael Foord. Tutorial and talk abstracts are available on our
> website: http://www.europython.eu
>
> The final two days, the 3rd and 4th of July, are 'sprint' days, where
> delegates splint into groups for collaborative computer programming,
> improving open source Python software.
>
> Altogether, the conference consists of over one hundred talks,
> tutorials, plenary sessions and social events. To come for the whole
> week costs £290, but our booking form allows you to book for the parts
> you want, see http://www.europython.eu/registration/ for more details.
> There is also a concessionary rate which applies to over 60s,
> full-time students, unwaged and nurses.
