EuroPython 2020: Introducing our Keystone Sponsor Microsoft

We are excited to have Microsoft as our Keystone Sponsor for EuroPython 2020. Microsoft has been a regular sponsor of EuroPython and is a great supporter of Python in general. Thanks, Microsoft ! 

You will be able to visit their sponsor exhibit rooms and take the opportunity to chat with their staff to learn more about the Python eco-system they have created.

Please find below a hosted blog post from Microsoft.

Enjoy,

Microsoft’s Python team loves EuroPython, including this year’s online version!

EuroPython is something we look forward to every single year. The Python community is vibrant, diverse, and inclusive, and we love that we can help make EuroPython happen and bring the community together, in a unique, online, way this year.

Python is widely used at many different teams at Microsoft, e.g. the Office team writes Machine Learning services in Python, the Bing team analyzes logs with Python, the Azure team generates documentation with Python, and our device teams build firmware with Python. Moreover, millions of our customers rely on our tools and platforms for their Python codebases. We are invested in Python for the long term, and we want to help the Python community grow as more people learn that they too can build their own software.

To help achieve that goal, we have built out great support for Python in Visual Studio Code and Python in Azure:

We are truly missing the opportunity to meet with Python developers in person this year, and we are putting all our energy into connecting virtually.

Our team will be available to chat with you on Discord throughout the EuroPython 2020 online event. See you there!
