Dear colleagues,

We are very pleased to inform you that applications are now open for
the Python in Astronomy 2016 conference:

   Python in Astronomy
   University of Washington eScience Institute
   Seattle, WA, USA
   21-25th March 2016
   http://python-in-astronomy.github.io/2016/

This meeting 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 state-of-the-art Python
Astronomy packages, the workshop will also focus on improving
interoperability between astronomical Python packages, providing
training for new contributors, and developing educational materials
for Python in Astronomy. The meeting is therefore aimed not only at
current developers, but also users and educators who are interested in
being involved in these efforts.

Note that this meeting is not intended to be a Python 'boot camp', and
we do expect participants to have already at least used Python for
some of their projects, even if only at a beginner level.

To apply, please go to the following page:

 http://python-in-astronomy.github.io/2016/

and follow the link to the application form. Applications should be
submitted by 9th October 2015 at the latest, and we hope to let you
know by mid- to late November whether you have been accepted.

Contingent on sponsorship, we hope to offer financial support for
travel for a few participants. If you would like to apply for
financial support, please indicate this in the last section of the
application form.

Please forward this email to anyone who may be interested!

Best regards,

The organizing committee:

Kelle Cruz
Perry Greenfield
Eric Jeschke
Mario Juric
