This is also an opportunity for those who are interested in these technologies to learn more about them. This will be the first major European event dedicated solely to the Python programming language and its applications. Since Python is seeing a lot of use and much important Python software is developed in Europe, European Python community members felt it was high time to organize a major gathering. We are extremely proud to announce that one of the keynote speakers will be Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python. The event will be held in Charleroi, a city in the south of Belgium not far from Brussels. The authorities in Charleroi have also generously pledged support for this meeting. Special Zope Track and EuroZope members meeting A special conference track about the Python-based web application Zope will also be organized. This track is to be run in parallel with the track on Python. Conference attendees can freely pick and choose between talks on Python and more Zope specific topics. At a previous Zope gathering in 2001 the EuroZope Foundation was created. The EuroZope Foundation is dedicated to the promotion of Zope in Europe as well as the support of European Zope users and developers. EuroPython 2002 is happy to host the first general member's meeting of the EuroZope Foundation. More information More information will be announced soon at http://www.europython.org. More community participation is very welcome! If you feel inspired to help with the organization of this event, we can always use your help.
