An update about accommodation. The Burlington Hotel has no rooms that weekend. There are also other hotels nearby, see accommodation section, it's not an extensive list. If you find a hotel that has a good price, please comment in disqus.

This maybe of interest to some of you. :-)

I was wondering if anybody was heading to EuroPython this year who is
looking at staying in the conference hotel?

I don't know if you meant to do so, just for the record you posted
your phone number on the Python Ireland (public) list.

At the moment I think it would be more interesting to have the longer
presentations be on somewhat established projects (as in: the project
has a licence, the code is available, there is ideally a bug tracker

Please contact me if you are interested.

Requirements
• Linux systems knowledge, administration and shell scripting
• Deployment and configuration tools experience (Puppet, Chef, etc)

Thanks for raising issue again, and thanks to those who have already
responded to PSF's call for action.

Padraic, I don't know the answer to your question, as suggested by Van
Lindberg, maybe you can email him directly (v...@python.org).

I'll pull the PyConIE conf programmes and send them on also.

plenty of job listings, etc, to forward.

To all in the group: If you work at such a company, then now is the time

Already have, including DevChix as well. :-)

I'm just pushing a call for female speakers here on the Irish list as I
want more local speakers as well, as most speakers on those lists tend to
be US-based. I'll poke PyConUK list as well.

Thanks again, and please do pass the word around if you know of someone who

Vicky - has a call for proposals been posted anywhere for PyCon IE?
You might try engaging the PyLadies group(s). I don't know if there
are any formed in Ireland or really outside of the US, but they have a
pretty strong network. They can certainly help get the word out there.

Just shouting out to see if there's any female pythonistas who want to give
a talk at our monthly meetups and/or PyCon Ireland 2013?

Please pass the word around.

Contact me if you are interested or if you have someone in mind that you
want to hear at our meetups/conference.

Thanks,

Just saw this email via BrightonPy and it looks like PSF needs your help!
