We are happy to announce a new format our Media Workgroup is experimenting with:
The podcast intends to be a view on the European Python community. We will comment and talk about the latest news from the EuroPython Society last news, interview guests from the European Python community and discuss future Python events in Europe … and probably more (ideas are always welcome).
In this podcast we discussed about the Venue Request For Proposal (RFP) for EuroPython 2018, what venues we should aim for? How about a EuroPython 2018 Disneyland Paris?
We also had Lasse Schuirmann from coala.io. Here is how he describes himself:
I started programming when I was 14 years old. Since then I did various projects like an image processing algorithm, an artificial neural net or my (very small) home-grown kernel. You can find the code for my openly developed projects (which is an increasing number relative to the others) largely on GitHub (https://github.com/sils1297) or GitLab (https://gitlab.com/u/sils).
If you hear the podcast you might be interested in this link too : http://coala.io/starwars
More information about upcoming events mentioned in the podcast:
We are just starting and this was our first episode. We promise we are working really hard to increase the audio quality - help on this issue is very welcome.
If you want to join the podcast as collaborator, nominate someone to be our next guest, announce your local python conference or/and give us feedback, please send an email to media-wg@europython.eu
Many thanks.

EuroPython 2017 is almost over and so it’s time to ask around for what we can improve next year. If you attended EuroPython 2017, please take a few moments and fill in our feedback form:
We will leave the feedback form online for a few weeks and then use the information as basis for the work on EuroPython 2018 and also post a summary of the multiple choice questions (not the comments to protect your privacy) on our website. Many thanks in advance.

Our Beginners’ Day host Harry Percival cannot attend EuroPython due to personal reasons, but thanks to our brilliant community, we have managed to find trainers who are willing to help out and run the workshop:
A big thanks for the quick offers of help. So once more, we’re pleased to present the…
We will have a Beginners’ Day workshop, on Sunday, July 9th, from 10:00 until 17:00, at the Palacongressi di Rimini (Via della Fiera 23, Rimini), the same location as the main conference.
The session will be presented in English (although a few of the coaches do speak other languages as well).
Please bring your laptop, as a large part of the day will be devoted to learning Python on your own PC.
For more information and the session list, please see the Beginners’ Day workshop page on our website.

We are very pleased to have Intel as Diamond Sponsor for EuroPython 2017. You can visit them at the most central booth in our exhibit area, the Sala della Piazza, and take the opportunity to chat with their staff.
Please find below a hosted blog post from Intel, that offers us an exciting glimpse at the recently released free, Intel® Distribution for Python.

EuroPython 2017 Conference
The Python language has transformed computing in the age of big data and massive compute power, bringing high productivity through its easy to learn syntax and large collection of packages and libraries. Its popularity and adoption extends to domains such as data analytics, machine learning, web development, high performance computing and general purpose scripting. High productivity normally comes at the expense of performance, often relegating Python to a great prototyping environment that eventually needs to be rewritten in native languages for production level robustness.
At Intel Software, our clear objective in working with Python software tools is to bring Python performance closer to native code speeds, possibly eliminating the need to rewrite production code in C or C++. We introduce the recently released, free, Intel® Distribution for Python - a performance accelerated Python Distribution that is highly optimized for Intel architecture, by leveraging advanced threading and vectorization instruction sets. And while we’re at it, we also added features that make it easily installable (without you having to deal with dependency nightmares), and broadly available to the entire Python community.
Join us at EuroPython and learn of the many ways Intel contributes to this versatile language and vibrant developer community. Our workshop will demonstrate the inner workings of the Intel Distribution for Python, how we accelerate Python’s core packages NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn & others through linking with performance libraries such as the powerful Intel® Math Kernel Library & Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library, techniques for composable parallelism, and profiling Python mixed with native code with Intel® VTune Amplifier. The talks will highlight Python Profiling with Intel® VTuneT Amplifier, Easy methods of Profiling & Tuning of Python applications for performance, and Infrastructure design considerations using Python with Buildbot & Linux containers.
Come, check out the Intel booth #18, and chat with our knowledgeable staff to learn more about Intel tools, technologies & applications in the Python space.
Unfortunately, our Beginners’ Day host Harry Percival cannot attend EuroPython due to personal reasons.
We were not able to find a suitable replacement quickly enough, so have to cancel the Beginners’ Day workshop on Sunday, July 9.
We are very sorry for everyone who wanted to attend the workshop. If we do find a replacement, we’ll let you know.
If you have some nice ideas, please don’t hesitate to contact us at program@europython.eu. We have a 90 seat room and catering available to host an ad-hoc replacement session instead of the workshop - we just need to move quickly.

We will be switching to the on-desk rates for tickets on Monday next week (July 3rd), so this is your last chance to get tickets at the regular rate, which is about 30% less than the on-desk rate.
On-desk Rates
We will have the following three categories of ticket prices for the on-desk full conference tickets (all 8 days):
Please note that we do not sell on-desk student tickets. Students who decide late will have to buy day passes or a personal ticket.
