A planned new addition to PyCon 2006 is a day of tutorials before the conference; tutorials will cost extra and give attendees a chance to take a 3-hour introduction to Python (or some other topic) before they leap into conference-going.
A Call for Tutorials will be posted soon. It'll go to comp.lang.python.announce as usual, but we'll also send it directly to various people who do Python training professionally. Which leads to my request... Have you taken a Python-related course from a professional who turned out to be really good? We'd like to know about such people so that we can send them a copy of the Call for Tutorials. Please let me know, either here or in private e-mail. If you're interested in giving a tutorial, you can also express an interest in order to receive the CFT; just drop me a line and I'll save your e-mail. You should plan for a 3-hour session, interrupted by a break halfway through. Further details and requirements will be in the CFT when it appears; I'm hoping it'll go out next week. --amk -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
