If you blog, please let your readers know about PyCon. A blog badge is a nice way to enhance such a post: http://ar.pycon.org/2012/conference/publicize/ PyCon Argentina is a free (as in beer) community conference. We keep the costs low to make PyCon Argentina accessible to the greatest range of community members possible. This means that PyCon Argentina cannot offer payment to conference speakers. Conference registration, accommodations, and transportation are the responsibility of the speakers. However, financial aid will be available, and speakers who pay their own way are encouraged to apply. Giving a talk is a great rationale when requesting aid. If you require financial aid in order to attend PyCon Argentina, please note it in your proposal and be sure to apply. Pre-Confirmed International invited speakers includes so far: * Massimo Di Pierro - De Paul University - web2py / FermiQCD * Andrea Gavana - Maersk Oil - wx.lib.agw & 2D/3D visualization * Brett Cannon - Google - python core developer: importlib py3k pypy Sponsorship opportunities are open, for further information see: http://ar.pycon.org/2012/sponsors/prospectus?lang=en Free and Open Source projects will have booths or special events inside the conference, please contact us if your community is interested.
