November 3-6, 2015 Sydney CBD, Australia
Yes, the conference is going on right now but I wanted to call your attention to live blogging of the event by Becky Smethurst at: Live Blog: .Astro 7 Day 1.
Among other goodies at her live blog you will find this visualization of the development of Astropy.
Lots of other goodies, links, etc. follow.
Sorry neither you or I are at the conference but following Becky’s live blogging is the next best thing.
BTW, you do know that the conference page, .Astronomy 7, has Twitter addresses for the participants? So you can follow people who are interested in big data, astronomy, etc.
A much better list than the top N stuff you see as listicles.
Enjoy!
