I went to this in 2016 and had a great time. It would be great if we could
get some yt representation at the next meeting in 2018.

Hello all,

The 2018 Python in Astronomy conference will be held on 30th Apr - 4th May
2018 at the Center for Computational Astrophysics at the Flatiron Institute
in New York, New York. For more information see http://openastronomy.org/
pyastro/2018/.

Python in Astronomy 2018 aims to bring a wide variety of people who
currently use, develop or teach people about Python packages in the context
of all forms of Astronomy. The conference will include presentations,
tutorials, unconference sessions, and sprints. As well as building the
community around astronomical uses of Python, the conference aims to
improve collaboration and interoperability between Python packages and
share knowledge on Python packages and techniques. It will also provide
training and educational materials for users and developers of Python
packages.

Participant selection will be made with the goal of enhancing 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. Effort will also be made to select participants who have a
demonstrated potential to contribute meaningfully to the Python in
Astronomy infrastructure via providing educational materials,
documentation, and/or coding. This conference is intended to be neither an
introduction to Python bootcamp nor only for expert-level Python developers.

If you are interested in attending and/or have any questions about the
conference, please   use this form: https://goo.gl/forms/47eYzrWsKPqIPTL42

Further, please nominate people who you think should might benefit from
attending and contributing to Python in Astronomy 2018 using this form:

Applications from interested participants will open by Oct 16, 2017; the
link to the application form will be available at the conference web site,
