| XXX mention Lightning talks here? | This year we have decided to borrow a few good ideas from PyCon, one of which is to move away from the 'track' structure. Instead, speakers are invited to submit presentations about anything they have done that they think would be of interest to the Python community. We will then arrange them into related groups and schedule them in the space available. In the past, EuroPython participants have found the following themes to be of interest: |
| Line 18: | Line 12: |
| A new phenomenon in the EuroPython tradition is the Open Space track (inspired by this years PyCon and last years Agile 2006 and XP 2006 conferences). |
* Science * Python Language and Libraries * Web Related Technologies * Education * Games * Agile Methodologies and Testing * Social Skills |
| Line 22: | Line 20: |
| The Open Space track is aimed at informal and spontanious talks that invite participants to gather and discuss various topics and experiences. Topics that could fit the Open Space track would be Agile Development, Business and Applications, Teaching, Games and Entertainment and any other Python related experiences and insights you feel would be interesting for others to listen to and discuss. XXX sell this better - discussing/experience sharing is the main value |
In addition to talks, we will also accept full paper submissions about any of the above themes. The Call for Refereed Papers will be posted shortly. |

Just attending and talking to people you find here can be satisfying enough, but there are three more kinds of participation you may wish to plan for: Lightning Talks, Open Space and Sprints. Lightning Talks are very short talks that give you just enough time to introduce a topic or project, Open Space is an area reserved for informal discussions, and a Sprint is a focused get together for developers interested in a particular project.
