EuroPython 2007 Proposed Timeline

From the [http://www.europython.org/ conference Web site] for 2006 (before it gets overwritten), plus observed administrative milestones:

This is a big contrast to the original [http://mail.python.org/pipermail/europython/2006-January/005555.html IRC meeting]-agreed timeline which was optimistically decided upon well in advance of the 2006 conference:

15th February

31st March

Deadline for proposal submissions

30th April

Prelininary Program with accepted talks

19th May

3rd July-5th July

EuroPython conference

Given the [http://mail.python.org/pipermail/europython/2006-May/005764.html panic] in May 2006 about the conference status, it might be best to not let the timeline slip much later than that of 2006.

Comparisons

It's always fun to compare things! Comparing the above with [http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/EventCalendar PyCon 2007]:

47 days (40 days)

70 days (63 days)

Talk submission start, deadline and acceptance prior to conference (duration of submission period)
