Thanks for the announcement and congratulations for attracting more then 200+ talk proposals. One question: Can you give a rough idea of how many talk slots are available for the EuroPython 2012 conference ? I've just gone through the list and there are so many interesting talks, that you could easily fill two conference weeks :-) Thanks, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Mar 26 2012) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2012-04-03: Python Meeting Duesseldorf 8 days to go ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
