PyconUS 2016

[Barry Warsaw]

Pycon 2016 starts in one week in Portland OR, USA.  I'll be there for the
duration (flying in late Friday evening).  Who else is coming?

We should definitely have a Debian Python BOF, and perhaps a keysigning if
there isn't one organized for the larger Python community.  I'm sure we can
find fun things to talk about, like PyPy support, planning for Python 2's EOL,
the inevitable Python 3.6 transition[*], etc.

If you aren't already registered for the conference, sorry but it's too late.
I'm told it sold out months ago.  But there are 4 days of post-conference
sprinting and those are free to all.  You don't even have to be registered for
the conference to attend the sprints.

Hope to see some of you there!

Cheers,
-Barry

Not as far as I know.  I'd be happy to review a package if that would
help.

I think it's better to put the missing sources in debian/missing-sources/
directory rather than patching them in.

(That is also suggested by the Lintian error description[1], and should
make that error disappear.)

According to the copyright format specification[2]:

| There are many versions[3] of the MIT license. Please use Expat[4] instead,
