Hey folks,

Just a reminder that SciPy 04 is coming up. More information is here:

About the Conference and Keynote Speaker

The 1st annual SciPy Conference will be held this year at Caltech, September 2-3, 2004. As some of you may know, we've experienced great participation in two SciPy "Workshops" (with ~70 attendees in both 2002 and 2003) and this year we're graduating to a "conference." With the prestige of a conference comes the responsibility of a keynote address.
This year, Jim Hugunin has answered the call and will be speaking to kickoff the meeting on Thursday September 2nd. Jim is the creator of Numeric Python, Jython, and co-designer of AspectJ. Jim is currently working on IronPython--a fast implementation of Python for .NET and Mono.

Presenters

We still have room for a few more standard talks, and there is plenty of room for lightning talks. Because of this, we are extending the abstract deadline until July 23rd. Please send your abstract to abstracts at scipy.org. Travis Oliphant is organizing the presentations this year. (Thanks!) Once accepted, papers and/or presentation slides are acceptable and are due by August 20, 2004.

Registration

Early registration ($100.00) has been extended to July 23rd. Follow the links off of the main conference site:

http://www.scipy.org/wikis/scipy04

After July 23rd, registration will be $150.00. Registration includes breakfast and lunch Thursday & Friday and a very nice dinner Thursday night. Please register as soon as possible as it will help us in planning for food, room sizes, etc.

Sprints

As of now, we really haven't had much of a call for coding sprints for the 3 days prior to SciPy 04. Below is the original announcement about sprints. If you would like to suggest a topic and see if others are interested, please send a message to the list. Otherwise, we'll forgo the sprints session this year.

We're also planning three days of informal "Coding Sprints" prior to
the conference -- August 30 to September 1, 2004.  Conference
registration is not required to participate in the sprints.  Please
email the list, however, if you plan to attend.  Topics for these
sprints will be determined via the mailing lists as well, so please
submit any suggestions for topics to the scipy-user list:
