Hi everybody, We are proud to announce the fifth episode of the legendary PyGrunn<http://www.pygrunn.org/>conference! Being the fifth anniversary we are putting extra effort into making this year's edition even better than last year's. The incredible new design of pygrunn.org is just an indication of all the good things to come.
*About* PyGrunn is the 'Python and friends' conference with a local footprint and global mindset. Firmly rooted in the open source culture it aims to provide the leading lights in advanced internet technologies a platform to inform, inspire and impress their peers. But the most important part is of course hanging out with peers. PyGrunn has a non-commercial character and tickets are just 25 euro, which is only for covering the costs of food, drinks and an already legendary t-shirt. Days chock-full of pyhon/geek/hacker fun don't come much cheaper than that! Still in doubt? Ask someone who visited a previous edition. We will updat *Location* Just as last year this year's edition will take place on May 9th at Groninger Forum (Hereplein 4-5, Groningen<https://www.google.com/maps/@53.213897,6.569186,3a,75y,69.65h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sXverlIW0_mQrpdKcx129Pg!2e0?hl=en-US>). So yes, once again you will be able to enjoy the talks from the comfort of a cinema chair. :) *New: Sprints* This year for the first time we are having sprints on the saturday and sunday right after friday's conference. We do have a few ideas for topics (pytest, flask, jenkins,...) but we would love to hear your ideas! *Tickets* Tickets are already on sale at the www.pygrunn.org. There are only 250 tickets available and they will be sold out for sure, so don't hesitate. The 25 euro should not hold you back. *RFP* There are still a few open speaker slots in the schedule, so we made a Request for Proposals (RFP) where you can submit your ideas for a talk or a poster/paper. We reserved some space (walls) for paper/poster presentations as well. You can use the same RFP for that. The submission deadline is April 1st. The rule of thumb for talks is that they should inform, inspire and impress a technical audience. In TED-like spirit the audience should be blown away in 45 minutes after which discussions can continue in the time between talks. Not all talks have to be about Python since it's the '*python and friends conference*', we always use a few slots for talks about related 'hot' technologies. *Sponsors* Since PyGrunn has a non-commercial character it depends on sponsors. As always Paylogic will cover a lot of the costs, and we are joined this year by Goldmund, Wyldebeast & Wunderliebe<http://www.goldmund-wyldebeast-wunderliebe.nl/>, Voys <http://www.voys.nl/> and Getlogic <http://www.getlogic.nl/>, but we would love to see more sponsors supporting the PyGrunn community. Spread the word and I hope to see you all at PyGrunn 2014!
