🎥 Documentary on the History of Python

The filmmakers from Cult Repo, formerly known as Honeypot, are working on a documentary about the history of Python and its vibrant community. It features over 20 core developers and takes us on a journey from the first days of Python to the latest developments. 

At EuroPython, we’re excited to share a special preview of the film, followed by a Q&A with Brett Cannon, Paul Everitt, and Armin Ronacher. 

🖤 Memorial session for Michael Foord

As part of EuroPython, we will be holding a memorial session to commemorate Michael Foord. 

Michael Foord (1974-2025) was a central figure in the Python community. He was an original thinker whose warmth, passion, and unfiltered humor touched the lives of many. A core Python developer and the creator of the influential unittest.mock module, he played a pivotal role in shaping testing practices and helped establish the Language Summit at PyCon. More than a brilliant engineer, Michael was a beloved mentor and friend, known for his elaborate vaping setup, colorful attire, and heartfelt conversations. His passing earlier this year left a profound void in the community, but his legacy lives on through his contributions to Python, his generous spirit, and the countless moments of camaraderie he inspired.

Friends of Michael are invited to attend this session and share their memories. We will provide more details about it closer to the event.

Keynote Speakers

We are excited to announce three more keynote speakers!

Sebastián Ramírez 

Sebastián is the creator and maintainer of several widely used open-source Python libraries, including FastAPI, Typer, SQLModel, and Asyncer. His work focuses on tools for building web APIs, command-line interfaces, and working with data models in Python.

Keynote & Ticket Sales Announcement!

Hello, Pythonistas! 🐍 Welcome back to our cosy corner of community & code!

It's absolutely fantastic to have you here again, especially as we countdown the days until our reunion in Prague! 🎉 Quite a few things have happened since our last catch-up so let’s dive right into it!

📣 Programme

We're super excited to announce Savannah Ostrowski as a keynote speaker for EuroPython 2025! 🐍✨

Savannah Ostrowski is a Python Core Developer and a product lead for Python Developer Experience and Notebooks at Snowflake. She helps maintain the argparse module in the Python standard library and the new JIT compiler introduced in Python 3.13. A self-taught developer with a background in geospatial computing, she has built a career at the intersection of developer tools and open-source software.

Before Snowflake, Savannah led a product for Docker’s runtime, working on foundational technology for the container ecosystem, including Docker Engine (moby/moby) and Docker CLI. She previously worked at Microsoft on the Azure Developer CLI and was the product manager for the Pylance language server.

If you've seen any of her previous talks, you know she's a fantastic speaker with practical insights to share and if you haven't checked out her presentations yet, you're in for a treat!

Join us at EuroPython 2025 to hear Savannah's unique insights and vision for Python's future. It's a session you won't want to miss!

Mia, on behalf of the EuroPython Organizing Team

EuroPython Society 2024 fellows

Hi everyone! A warm welcome to the newly elected EuroPython Society Fellows in the year 2024.

    • Laís Carvalho
    • Cyril Bitterich

EuroPython Society Fellows

EuroPython Society Fellows have contributed significantly towards our mission, the EuroPython conference and the Society as an organisation. They are eligible for a lifetime free attendance of the EuroPython conference and will be listed on our EuroPython Society Fellow Grant page in recognition of their work.‌

Laís has been volunteering with the EPS since 2020 and is currently serving as a board member for 2023–2024. Quoting from her nomination for the EuroPython Society fellowship:

Lais is the "superhero" of this year's EuroPython Organization. She's constantly trying to improve our processes, our way of operating, to push for diversity and inclusion, and to make things happen. Apart from that, she's always passionate about the EuroPython Society Mission, actioning on community outreach, expanding EPS communication channels and helping, in action, EPS to support the local python communities. I have no doubt that with her key contribution, 2024 will be one of the most impactful years for the mission of EPS.

Cyril started volunteering for EuroPython since 2022, He started helping with Ops and Programme teams initially and his firefighting skills proved invaluable as he supported other teams and the general organisation, making him a de facto member of the 2024 core organisers team. Quoting from his nomination for the EuroPython Society fellowship

Cyril is one of the most dedicated volunteers I've ever met. You'll argue with him, he'll care, you'll ask for his help. He will have input, he will review everything on time. Constantly trying to help, to include more people and always passionate about documenting all of our processes. Cyril is one of the people I'm very proud I have worked with and I'm sure with his contribution EPS will make a lot of steps forward.

The EuroPython Society Board would like to congratulate and thank all the above new Fellows for their tireless work towards our mission! If you want to send in your nomination, check out our Fellowship page and get in touch!

Many thanks,
EuroPython Society
