Hi everyone,

Back in December last year I forwarded a call for proposals for
workshops at the Lorentz center to this list, and a few of us
subsequently put in an application to hold a Python Astronomy
workshop.

We are now very happy to report that a "Python in Astronomy" workshop
has been accepted and will take place at the Lorentz center in Leiden
on 20-24 April 2015. This workshop aims to bring together researchers,
Python developers, users, and educators, and will include
presentations, tutorials, unconference sessions, and coding sprints.

In addition to sharing information about the state-of-the art of
Python Astronomy packages, the workshop will also focus on improving
interoperability between astronomical Python packages, providing
training for new contributors, and developing a common set of
educational materials for Python in Astronomy. The meeting is
therefore not only aimed at current developers, but also users and
educators.

A formal website and announcement will come later this year, but we
wanted to share this with you now so that you can keep the dates free
if you are interested in participating. In the mean time, you can
already sign up to receive future announcements about the workshop at
the following page:

 http://python-in-astronomy.github.io

Please feel free to spread the word to others that this is happening
and get them to sign up to the announcement list.

We are very excited about the opportunity to hold this workshop, and
we hope to see many of you there!

The organizing committee:

Thomas Robitaille
Pauline Barmby
Eric Jeschke
Stuart Mumford
Magnus Persson
