| Of course, there are other ways of participating in the conference than giving talks. 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.

EuroPython 2007: Call for Proposals
Book Monday 9th July to Wednesday 11th July 2007 in your calendar! EuroPython 2007, the European Python and Zope Conference, will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania. Last year's conference was a great success, featuring a variety of tracks, amazing lightning talks and inspiring keynotes. With your participation, we want to make EuroPython 2007, the sixth EuroPython, even more successful than the previous five.
Talks, Papers and Themes
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:
- Science
- Python Language and Libraries
- Web Related Technologies
- Education
- Games
- Agile Methodologies and Testing
- Social Skills
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.
The deadline for talk proposals is Friday 18th May at midnight (24:00 CEST, Central European Summer Time, UTC+2).
