Hi Steve, most people at the conference will simply dress casual; that's not unlike most technical conferences out there. The code of conduct is basically trying to address excessive sexualized clothing/costumes (eg: so-called "booth babes"); wearing shorts is absolutely acceptable per-se, and is surely a common clothing in the summer season. While walking around the city, and in the hotel, you will find many different styles of dresses, including business suites in the day and very elegant dresses in the evenings, and lots of casual and informal dressing (very common among tourists). So for going around the city itself, I would say that any style of dress that makes you comfortable is OK. You can surely find many pictures of crowded Florence squares (on Flickr or Google) to get an idea of the mixed styles. Please let me know if I can further help you on this matter. -- Giovanni Bajo EuroPython 2012 https://ep2012.europython.eu Python Italia APS Non-profit association Registered in Italy _______________________________________________ EuroPython 2011 - Florence June 20-26 http://ep2011.europython.eu/ EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
