Applications are now being accepted for the 2017 Python in Astronomy conference. The conference will be held on 8th – 12th May 2017 at the Lorentz Center in Leiden, the Netherlands, for more information visit: http://openastronomy.org/pyastro/2017/
Applications to attend are open until December 9th 2016. Apply here: https://goo.gl/forms/D8Zydnqhssn1J7vn1
The Python in Astronomy conferences aim to bring together a wide variety of people who currently use, develop or teach people about Python packages in the context of all forms of Astronomy. I would encourage anyone who has done any solar physics using Python to apply to make sure solar physics is well represented and to help our community learn more about the wider Astronomy Python ecosystem.
Participant selection will be made with the goal of growing the Python in Astronomy community and we particularly encourage requests to attend from junior astronomers and people who are new to contributing to open source software. This conference is neither intended to be an introduction to Python bootcamp nor only for expert-level Python developers, but we do expect all participants to have at least a basic familiarity with Python.
