Hi Giovanni, Hello Everyone,

Have you considered using Fluidinfo to provide your API..? (Note: I work
for Fluidinfo but please don't think I'm some sort of salesman. I'm a
Python developer who's passionate about openly writeable linked-data
APIs and the Europython API idea seems like a great idea).

Put simply, we (Fluidinfo) are using Python to build a platform for
creating and sharing data by providing users with an instant
RESTful/json based writeable API. 

Storing Europython information in Fluidinfo would generate a simple,
searchable and consistent API and because of Fluidinfo's openly
writeable nature, others would be able to contribute information about
Europython too. A sort of free public access meta-data store/API - all
done in Python.

We've written various blog posts that describe similar sorts of
endeavours here: http://blogs.fluidinfo.com/fluidinfo/

I suppose I'm volunteering myself (and usage of Fluidinfo) for the
cause. In fact, a it'd be fun to give a "how we did it and what you can
do with it" type talk at the conference itself.

I quite understand if this isn't up your street and, once again, many
apologies if this sound like I'm trying to sell you something (I'm most
definitely not). Let me know what you think and happy to discuss /
answer questions (you can also find me on IRC - #fluidinfo on Freenode).

All the best, er, ciao, :-)

Nicholas.
