I think we all read the very polite and friendly request of Jakub Piotr Nowak for help with organizing a Pyhon and Ruby conference.
Being involved with EuroPython since around 3 years, I am really admiring their effort.
On the other hand I am asking myself if we really can afford 2 European Python conferences - EuroPython has a fair sized followership of around 300 participants every year; that's not that big a market to fuel another conference.
So I want to ask fellow EuroPythonistas: Is it thinkable that we invite the people from http://rupy.wmid.amu.edu.pl to join us in organizing EP 2007 in Vilnius; with having the possibility of making EP 2008 happen in Poland?
That could be a win-win situation:
- we can share our knowledge of organizing an European Dynamic Language conference (all the stuff we learned about schedules, tracks, invitations, early and other birds, meals and snacks)
- we avoid having two similar conferences competing for speakers, sponsors and participants
- we provide a connection to a quite intense communitie
- EuroPython could gain an even longer perspective on its venues
So, what do you think? may this be a possible start of negotiations?
