EuroPython Blog

Over the last few weeks, Anthon van der Neut, our media work group chair for EP2015 and EP2016, put in a lot of effort into getting all our conference videos on archive.org, the Internet Archive.  Archive.org is not meant as an alternative for YouTube to watch the videos, but it allows you to retrieve the original uploads, and as such also functions as a backup location for the us and the community.

He first downloaded all videos from our YouTube account (over 2.5TB as of this writing), then enriched the meta data based on the talk information we have on the websites, fixed issues he found, and then uploaded the videos and meta data to our archive.org account. Overall, around 40 hours of work went into this.

We now have more than 1000 conference videos available on our archive.org account, covering EP2014 - EP2020.

Thanks, Anthon, for making this possible !

Dear Community,

after our first successful “Ask me Anything” (AMA) session in September we want to run another meeting this Thursday to answer any questions you may have, share our knowledge or help you in planning your online event.

Some of the topics we can cover:

• our tools research and findings
• our concepts for running an online conference or event
• our experience with running EuroPython online
• what we could do to support you
• how our Zoom license sharing works
• how you can apply for a grant
• how the EuroPython Society works
• how we run the EuroPython organization with fully remote work groups

and, of course, anything else :-)

If you’re interested in joining the call, please send your name and email to helpdesk@europython.eu and we’ll send you the invite for the call on

Thursday, Nov 19, starting at 19:30 CET.

When requesting the invite, please also consider adding more context, in case we’d have to prepare for the answers, so we can better prepare and make the meeting more effective.

Please note that we will be recording the meeting and put it up on our YouTube account after the call, just like we did last time.

BTW: We are making our conference resources available on our website, in case you have missed our blog post earlier this year.

Many thanks.

We’re happy to announce that all edited videos of this year’s conference are now available on our YouTube channel:

EuroPython 2020 Playlist

We have 131 videos available in total, covering a very broad set of Python topics, so there’s going to be something interesting for everyone.

We hope to see you all again next year and perhaps even have a few more people attending EuroPython 2021 Online, now that the format has proven successful. Stay safe.

In the last few weeks, we had a close look at the how the situation around COVID-19 is panning out. Unfortunately, things are not moving in a direction where we’d feel confident to hold next year’s conference as an in-person event in Dublin.

EuroPython 2022 in Dublin

After discussion with the venue, we decided to postpone the in-person conference for another year, to July 11-17 2022 in Dublin, Ireland. We are currently finalizing the details.

Since going online has proven to work well, we also want to keep the momentum for EuroPython 2022 and are planning to run the event in a hybrid version, where both speakers and attendees can optionally join online.

EuroPython 2021 Online

Given the experience with running EuroPython 2020 online this year, we are sure that EuroPython 2021 will be a success as well.

We will take the experience we’ve gained from this year’s event to improve the online version next year, simplify some aspects, reactivate finaid and enable joining it in smaller groups to create a distributed experience.

We’re still collecting ideas, so if you have any suggestions, we’d love to hear them. Please write to helpdesk@europython.eu.

Enjoy,

Our designer Jessica has created a beautiful conference booklet for you to use during the conference and keep as a memory afterwards. It provides all details, schedule, keynotes, sponsor listings, etc. in a single PDF.

EuroPython 2020 Conference Booklet

We’d normally give out the booklet as part of the conference bag, but since we’re running the event online, we’ve put up the PDF of the booklet instead for your to enjoy.

If you feel like there something in our program which you may benefit from or you just want to get a feeling for what a EuroPython conference is like, please consider joining the event.

Tickets still available

Even though we have surpassed the 900 tickets mark already, we still have tickets available, both in form of the paid conference & sprint tickets as well as the free sprints-only tickets.

Please head over to our registration page to book your tickets.
