#europython

EuroPython wouldn't exist if it weren't for all the volunteers who put in countless hours to organize it. Whether it's contracting the venue, selecting and confirming talks & workshops or coordinating with speakers, hundreds of hours of loving work have been put into making each edition the best one yet. Read our latest interview with Jakub Červinka, a member of the EuroPython 2025 Operations Team and organizer of PyConCZ 2026. Thank you for your service to EuroPython, Jakub!

Martin has been part of the Europython Conferences volunteers since 2017. Some have "met" him the first time in a response on an issue sent to the helpdesk or during the organisation meetings of the ops team.Others interacted with him as a volunteer at reception, out in the halls, a tutor in a Humble Data tutorial, a session chair, or room manager in a tutorial or talk.

This year was extra special: Django turned 20 years old! The milestone was marked in style, starting on Wednesday evening at Pyvo, the local Python community meetup in Prague, where we celebrated with a cake. On Friday, the celebration continued with an open-space gathering at the conference - and, of course, another cake 🎂. For people who missed this, there are other local Django birthday events running through the rest of 2025!

The EuroPython tradition of post-conference sprints came alive once again in Prague, bringing together open-source maintainers, newcomers, and curious contributors for two days of coding, learning, and collaboration. And the results? Across all projects, over 81 pull requests were merged during the weekend 🎉. That's dozens of fixes, improvements, and first-time contributions landing directly into Python's ecosystem in just two days.
