So any update for the Call for Organizers of EuroPython 2014/2015? Best regards, Filip ___ EuroPython 2013 - Florence, July 1st - 7th http://ep2013.europython.eu/ EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython

@Giovanni: Is this payment system tightly integrated with the rest of the website or could it be replaced (e.g. externalized)? @Filip: For the German PyCon conferences we built our own system that is based mostly around django-cms. Right now we are updating it for PyCon DE 2013 and it is available on https://bitbucket.org/PySV/pycon_de_website if you're interested :-) On Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 11:57 AM, Giovanni Bajo giova...@pycon.it wrote: Il giorno 10/gen/2013, alle ore 22:32, Filip Kłębczyk fklebc...@gmail.com ha scritto: I have another question.

There are two main hurdles with it: 1) The website is not meant to be a generic CMS, where people with no web programming experience can setup a PyCon website. It still requires proficiency in Django and HTML/CSS design. This also means that there is no installation guides, and no clear separation points between specifities of EuroPython and the generic part that could be reused. Our dream would be to get to a point where EuroPython-specific code/templates are separated into a different Django app, but we're not there yet. 2) We relay on an internal payment gateway / ticketing system which is a large Python-based application (with different technologies, different DBs, etc.) for the sole purpose of issuing payments (through PayPal) and invoices. The system is indeed quite large, and we use only a small subset of it; this is basically an incomplete transition, but I don't know if it can be fixed this year. Moreover, the PSF has been quite uninterested in helping with this, because they are already sponsoring a similar effort: the application that powers the PyCon US website.

It's not that tightly integrated. We do have a fork where it's removed already, but there is some merging involved, plus we don't directly own the fork (it's been licensed), so there's also some politics. I'll see what we can do. In fact, I would be extremely happy if we get to a point where the codebase is finally open-sourced. I don't think it will be easy to adopt for other conferences but at least it's a start. So the goal is clear and I agree with it. -- 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

We only need a server-side payment gateway, we don't need a full ERP program nor modules of it.

The decisions around all the details around the way EuroPython Society should interact with local EPC organizers are taking way too long and the fact there's a new board doesn't help. Oh I see. May I have a suggestion? Maybe in future it would be wise to invite all the leaders of the local European PyCon to take part in the board's work. It's just a loose thought. We'll try really hard to clarify everything and release a call for proposals in some days. Thanks for your patience and for understanding. For what concern the exact dates of EPC 2013, they should be the same as 2012. I'll confirm that to you after a feedback from the guys dealing with the venue directly. Ok, thanks.

Thanks Fabio 2013/1/6 Filip Kłębczyk fklebc...@gmail.com Hi, As far as I know there was supposed to be a Call for Europython 2014/2015 organizers+venue proposals in the autumn. Winter and 2013 has already started and still no information what requirements should be met and how the proposals exactly should look like. As a conference organizer I fully understand it is not so easy to prepare such a call and requires some hard work. But the hard work is also required on the side that will be submitting proposal, especially that we'll have to do a pooling on appropriate venues, videorecording companies etc. So the sooner we will have the input parameters, the sooner we and other groups interested in organizing EP2014/EP2015 can prepare the output for you. Another thing it would be good to know exact dates of EP2013 or at least know the information whether it will be in June or July this year. It would be really helpful for many people to plan things. Best regards and thanks (with a lot of understanding of your hard work) Filip __**_ EuroPython 2011 - Florence June 20-26 http://ep2011.europython.eu/ EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/**mailman/listinfo/europythonhttp://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython ___ EuroPython 2011 - Florence June 20-26 http://ep2011.europython.eu/ EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
