More PyCon 2010 Conference Grants

At their May 10 meeting, the PSF Board approved grants for two PyCon conferences.

PyCon Ukraine

PyCamp Kyiv, held in January 2010, attracted over 200 attendees so the organizers are planning to host another event this fall. PyCon Ukraine 2010 is scheduled for October 23-24 in Kyiv, Ukraine. The PSF Board approved a grant of $750US to support the new conference.

SciPy 2010

SciPy 2010 will be held in Austin, Texas from June 28 to July 3. SciPy is focused on the intersection of scientific computing and Python development, and offers scientists and developers an opportunity to collaborate and share tools and techniques. The PSF Board approved a grant of $1,000US to sponsor the conference.

Organizers for other conferences who would like to apply for a grant should send details of their request to the board at psf@python.org.
