I'm asking, because it could be potentially used also for local PyCons websites. 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.

Re: [EuroPython] Work on Call for Participation for EuroPython 2015 has started
Hello Jacob :-) I'm currently part of the web team for the EP2014 and have attended EuroPython conferences for the last 4 years. I also helped on the web team for the last couple of PyCon.DE conferences. Thank you for these details from the EPS' point of view. They are much appreciated :-) There have definitely been some friction points over the last couple of months but it seems to me like everything has become much more calm and quiet over the last month (at least from what I can gather by not noticing all that my burner roofs anymore ;-)). I just wanted to contribute a little bit to the whole software topic since some of the statements issues here might be interpreted in a wrong way: The point about the software being used for EP2014 indicates that this software is completely new, which isn't true. It has been used and updated over the last couple of years for the PyCon.DE conference series. It definitely needed and still needs a lot of work to use it for a EuroPython conference, but I'm certain that this would be the case for any software in preparation for a new conference year. We had some issues with previous year's software which were discussed in other mail exchanges between the EPS and the local organizer group, so I don't really want to reiterate them here. That being said, I totally agree that there should be a software component to the conference package as handed out by the EPS and it would help if you could reuse that explicit knowledge from previous years. The problem with the current approach (speaking totally for myself here and not as part of an organization or group) is, though, that such a software should not be written as part of the preparation for a specific event. The timeframe there is usually far to tight to create anything that might be usable for anything but the local team. We saw some of this in the previous year's software as we see it in this year's. Me having worked on this software for the last 2 years definitely helps here when it comes to adapting it to the EP format which probably was one of the reasons why we eventually decided to go with the PyCon.DE software. That being a flatout refusal is slightly exaggerated. We thought quite long and hard about it and most of use at least skimmed over the code to see how easy it would be to adapt to what we had in mind. But as said before, this has already been discussed in a more appropriate forum. So my proposal would be to create some kind ... let's call it a task force (that sounds exciting ;-)) with volunteers from as many previous EP conferences to come up with a set of requirements and ideally also a base-implementation that can then really be used by local organizers :-) From my perspective (and speaking only for myself here) the requirement to use the previous software at this point is unrealistic if there are alternatives the local group has more local knowledge with.

I have been involved in the setup of all new locations for EuroPython and this is the first time we have run into real difficulties in the collaboration with the local organization. In the Call for Participation that was the basis for the selection of a new site for Europython, there was a requirement for the cost of attendance. It turns out that the promised figures from the Berlin team can't be met and that cost of attendance will take a serious jump, compared to Florence. This is a serious problem for the EPS, because our explicit goal is to arrange a really affordable conference. We are now looking at conference fees that are 5 times higher than the ones for Göteborg and it is starting to hurt. Worries about getting enough participants and getting a reasonable mix of people has gotten the EPS board more involved in pricing issues than they would like to be. This is not only a concern for the conference this year, but for future conferences. A large number of the attendees have come to EuroPython for many years. If they are scared off by the price this year, they are less likely to come back in the future. This may be the first EuroPython where I won't be able to afford going. There was another requirement in the CfP, for the local organization to use the conference system that was used and developed by the people in Florence.

Re: [EuroPython] conference length
Hi Martjin, I definitely see where you're coming from having had the same reaction at first when I saw the schedule for the first Europython in Florence a couple of years back. For me personally, though, the idea of making your own conference worked really well in the end. Every conference I've attended so far had at least on or two time slots each day where none of the talks appealed to me and so I went to explore the city or just got some sleep at the hotel. This way the event stayed fresh and exciting to me and I didn't feel bad for skipping some talks if I simply didn't feel like it. That naturally only works to a certain extend and eventually I just want to get out of the conference again. In accordance with Andreas' comment I prefer 4 days of sessions with 3 days of sprints, but these are just my 2c. 5 days is a really long time, so perhaps the orgas and the EPS would be willing to experiment here with the format a little bit I the future? :-) Cheers, Horst On 15.04.2014, at 09:04, Martijn Faassen faas...@startifact.com wrote: Hi there, I thought I'd give my preferences for conference length in the future. It's just my point of view, but I had it for a while now, and I figure I'd better share it to be more constructive. For some years, EuroPython was 3 days of conference, with perhaps 3 or 4 parallel tracks with talks. From what I recall from the early days, we got about as many talk submissions as we had talk slots available. At some point a few training days got tacked on to the beginning. We also gained a tradition of sprints before or after the conference, later on getting established at the end, where I think they should be. I myself greatly enjoy sprints as an opportunity to get to know people better and work with them. In the last few years EuroPython grew to a conference with many more parallel tracks, and more days of conference proper. 5 or so. And then sprints. I haven't been to EuroPython for a few years for other reasons. But when I peeked at the massive and long schedule I did feel rather intimidated. It feels a bit too much like a marathon to me. I prefer my conference to be shorter. I also feel such a long conference risks diluting the talks anyone finds interesting over a longer period, making the whole experience less inspiring. And while I enjoy the hallway track, I prefer doing sprints. I take it the training sessions got spread into the main conference and that's why it's longer. But I wonder whether the ballooning schedule is also because the amount of talk submissions went up, and following the pattern of accepting as many submitted talks as possible like we used to have, the conference felt it had to grow to more days and more slots too. If this is so, I think we should consider whether this is the right response to more talk submissions, or whether a better response is to simply reject more talks. I think this relates to the discussion on diversity of talks. On the preliminary schedule, quite a few speakers have two accepted talks, or even three. For a more inspiring conference, I'd prefer to see more different speakers, more viewpoints, not the same speaker multiple times, however good they may be, and however interesting the topic. Perhaps an exception can be made if a particular category of submissions, like trainings, don't get enough submissions otherwise, but if submissions talk slots, I think 1 accepted talk per speaker is a good idea. To avoid people gaming the system to increase their chances they're accepted, perhaps 1 *submitted* talk per speaker would be a good idea too. For even more diversity of topics, throw in more wild card talks too that are only peripheral to Python, and not just for the keynote speeches. To me that's more inspiring. (I haven't studied the schedule in detail yet though, so it's possible they're there) I was told by @europython on Twitter I wasn't required to show up for 5 days of talks. I can make my own, shorter conference. So do I cut off the beginning or the end? I'd prefer the sprints, so I guess I should show up in day 3? What if a talk I submitted gets scheduled to day 2, though? Or if I actually prefer seeing the talks on day 1 and 2? Now I have to make those difficult choices myself. Nobody has to care about what I want of course if it's just me. But perhaps I'm not the only one. And maybe bits of my analysis make sense to others. Nobody will find out if nobody talks about it, so that's why I did here. Thanks for doing all the hard work in organizing this; I know it's not easy.

Re: [EuroPython] EuroPython 2015 sprints
Hi ? I'm not coming to this year's EuroPython but if they are organized in any way as previous sprints I've attended, registration is requested but not necessary (depending on if there is lunch prepared or not). You normally can propose a sprint but usually that's not strictly necessary. It might just help other people before-hand to pick a topic they want to sprint on. I remember in Florence, for instance, that there was a session-slot on the last conference they were anyone could just come up the stage and present their projects they want to sprint on. I always simply see sprints as a place where anyone can code with anyone else on anything ? If you find a project that you're interested in, just walk up to someone working with it and join ?

Re: [EuroPython-Improve] [EuroPython-Members] EuroPython Reboot
To be fair there were a couple of hints that something like that would most likely take place at PyCon UK for the last couple of weeks now. Additionally, I kind of doubt that someone would make a trip from outside the UK just for this meeting if they didn't plan to attend the conference anyway :-) @John: Thanks for organising this! If somehow possible I will try to attend remotely. Cheers, Horst Andreas Jung 18 Sep 2014 12:31 Making such an announcement three days in advance is not very helpful. -aj ___ EuroPython-Members Mailing List https://www.egenix.com/mailman/listinfo/europython-members EuroPython: https://www.europython.eu/ EuroPython Society: http://www.europython-society.org/ John Pinner 18 Sep 2014 12:28 It's been pointed out that I had a Senior Moment and left out the proposed meeting date from my previous mail. But it's on the wiki page Sunday 21st September 2014, 11:00 am local time (BST).

Re: [EuroPython-Improve] [EuroPython-Members] EuroPython Reboot
Sorry, I totally failed at timezones and thought the meeting would be at 10am CEST instead of noon :( (I so need more sleep...) Sadly can't join then but hope there will be some notes to read up on afterwards :) Have a good Reboot everyone! Best wishes, Horst John Pinner mailto:funth...@gmail.com 18 Sep 2014 11:47 Hello Fellow European Pythonistas, This year's EuroPython in Berlin was a grat event, enjoyed by over 1000 Pythonistas and the biggest EP to date. What most of us would have been unaware of was that under the surface, there had been major problems with relations between the EuroPython Society (EPS) board and those heading up the local organising team. These problems could be serious enough to put the future of EuroPython itself at risk and already have resulted in plans for a repeat of EuroPython 2014 Berlin in 2015 being abandoned. Now I (John Pinner) like many others feel passionately about our Python community, and this is part of the problem : people throw themselves into organising our events, put in *lots* of work, and don't necessarily see the bigger picture : constructive criticism may not be taken, or given, as intended. Then relationships deteriorate and positions get entrenched, this was apparent (to me, I don't know about anyone else) at the EPS General Assembly in Berlin. Believe me, I have been involved in voluntary organisations for over 30 years, and this is common and all the more sad as it stems from the same basic passion and desire to serve the community. As someone who has been involved in EuroPython from the early days, and a past organiser, I don't wish to see the current problems continue and put the future of EuroPython at risk. I don't think it's too late to do something about it. PyCon UK 2014 starts tomorrow in Coventry, and quite a few EuroPython fans will be attending, so this is an opportunity to join together and see if we can resolve some of these problems. This is quite appropriate as, for sad historical reasons (which we have learnt from and put behind us, let's do the same on a much smaller scale for EuroPython) Coventry is the City of Reconciliation So I'm setting up a EuroPython Reboot meeting at PyCon UK 2014, at 11:00am local time (I believe that's 10:00am European time). Some of us will be able to attend this meeting in person, for those who cannot, we'll set up a video call on either https://appear.in/epreboot or Google hangout. I'll put this up on the PyCon UK wiki at http://pyconuk.net/EuropythonReboot and when we finalise the details, they'll be there. One thing I will stress, this is my idea as an individual who cares about the future of EuroPython, it is *not* being done at the behest of, or under the influence of, either the Berlin organisers or the EPS Board. If you too care about EuroPython, please join us at this meeting.
