| The International Python Conference (IPC) is held anually, in the U.S., more or less in the end of their winter. The biggest names in the community gather there and make talks; it's a great opportunity to meet people. In the past it was also used to make decisions about the future of Python, and there is talk of bringing this aspect back in the next conferences. | For much of the 1990s, the International Python Conference was held annually in the U.S, organized by a professional conference management firm. The conferences were quite expensive yet reportedly lost money, so eventually the firm stopped holding the conferences. The IPC conferences have been replaced by the volunteer-run PyCon; the O'Reilly Open Source Conference also has Python-related content. European conferences have formed, notably EuroPython and [[PythonUK]]. |

| = Next conference = The conference in 2002 (Python10) was professionally organized by a specialized company. It was way too expensive, many developers were not satisfied with some aspects, and it lost a lot of money (from the company's point of view). Because of that, the conference in 2003 will be majorly revised. It is being discussed in a mailing list, and you can participate: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/conferences-discuss - or leave your comments in this page. As of today (2002-Aug-31), chances are Python11 will either be a sub-event of one of O'Reilly's OSCONs, or it will be organized by volunteers with the expert help of [http://yetanother.org/ Yet Another Society] (who already helps with YAPC - "Yet Another Perl Conference" - and Mozilla Developer Days). Perhaps both will happen, and the YAS event will be titled "YAPyC" or something. |
