About PyCarolinas 2012 PyCarolinas 2012 is the first Python Conference held in the carolinas and will be located in Chapel Hill, NC this October. The specific date and location will be announced shortly. It is a two day conference, with one day of talks and one day or sprinting. Who should submit a proposal? Anyone! We’re looking for as broad a cross-section of the Python community as possible. We’re looking for both experienced conference speakers and people new to technical conferences; industry professionals and hobbyists; entrepreneurs, researchers, and system administrators. You’ve probably learned something that other Python users could benefit from, so come toPyCarolinas and share your story. Maybe you’ve written the next great data mining package, or you have a case study to share, or you’ve learned something about how to start a Python users’ group, or you just want to help novices learn how to choose a Python web framework. If you have something to tell your fellow Python programmers, this is your chance. You don’t have to be a professional speaker to give a talk at PyCarolinas. Presenters can be volunteers from all walks of life and all levels of experience. From hardcore hackers to educators to hobbyists, anyone with something to say and the desire to say it is welcome. If you have a topic idea but you’re not sure exactly how to turn it into a killer session, let us know! The program committee is happy to work with you to help your session shine. What kind of sessions can I give? PyCarolinas 2012, as a small event, is acceptingonly traditional sessions during the main conference. We are looking for sessions at 30 and 45 minutes. All levels of talks from from novice-level overviews to advanced topics are welcome. Conference registration and travel PyCarolinas is entirely volunteer-organized and run, and must keep costs as low as possible. We are unable to provide assistance or compensation for speakers traveling to and staying near the conference for the duration of the event. Timeline and deadlines Please don’t delay! The proposal window is long, but the sooner you submit a proposal, the more time we’ll have to help you put forward the best proposal. The program committee will officially begin reviewing proposals and giving feedback as soon as the CFP closes, but the team will attempt to begin reviewing and discussing proposals prior to the close of the Call for Proposals to assist authors. Proposals for talks will be accepted until July 20th. The list of selected talks and tutorials will be finalized by the end of August. Thank you! Submit your proposal to ta...@pycarolinas.org and thanks for helping us make the first ever PyCarolinas great! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
