I'll be at the europython 2009
I got the flight tickets, the accomodation and the europython ticket last friday. I'm a little but excited about atteding such a great event.
After being one of the lucky ones that were able to attend the first djangocon last year in Mountain View, I was excited about the idea of the first euro-djangocon. Sadly I could not get to prague for the congress, because of some personal issues.
Not attending the djangocon left some space to think about other options, like the europython conference. This one will take place in Birmingham (uk), from 28th June to 4th July.
First two days (Sunday, Monday) are tutorial days (the perfect place to learn more about python development and some more specific topics). From Tuesday to Thursday there will be three days of interesting talks, covering almost every interesting topic related to the python community, from web to gui development, apis, big projects made on top of python, etc. Finally, the last two days (Friday, Saturday), will be sprint days, that is, the time to help with some python-powered projects (django, turbogears, moinmoin, bazaar, etc).
Sadly, I'll be there only from Monday to Friday, attending mostly to the talks. It would be nice to have some more time and stay there for the sprints, but hey, perhaps next year?
