We’re pleased to announce that the Linux+ magazine has become officially our Main Media Partner!

We’re happy to announce that RuPy 2009 will be held at Collegium Mathematicum – seat of Adam Mickiewicz University Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. By this we introduce Adam Mickiewicz University as partner of RuPy 2009 conference.

This place will be familiar to previous editions’ RuPy participants as 1st and 2nd conference was also hosted by Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science – we hope you liked this place as much as we do. If this is your first RuPy – you may find some useful information on Collegium Mathimaticum in Location section.

We have received numerous question regarding different issues so here are the answers to the most common ones:

1. We are working on enabling PayPal payments, but PayPal has asked us to provide certain documents which we might have to obtain first. We might not make this on time before the early registration is over though.
2. To all the people from within Poland – you can make a regular polish transfer. The conference fee  should amount to 162 PLN. We will update the registration website with the prices in polish currency.
3. The address data for the transfer is:

Stowarzyszenie GiK (or GIK association)
ul. Kozietulskiego 4a
85-657 Bydgoszcz
Poland

Hey there RuPy folks!

Registration for RuPy’09 is open. You can register here. The earlier you register the less you have to pay (but remember that the payment date counts). Check out the details on the registration page.  Be quick and grab a spot while they’re still fresh and available.

We’d like to ask to include the following in the conference payment transfer title:  “RuPy09 <your e-mail address>“.

Hope to see you at RuPy!

We’d like to invite the community to the decision process regarding the David Goodger’s talk at RuPy 2009.
