About PyCon Argentina 2012: ====================== PyCon Argentina is the largest annual worldwide community gathering of Spanish-speaking users and developers of the Python programming language. It is a community conference organized by volunteers of Python Argentina community (PyAr), lasting several days which will bring short courses and lectures related to this language that incipiently makes its place among the developers. We intended to make a space where anyone interested can come to ask, learn and experiment with these tools. This year, the event will be held at Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital and one of the most important cities in Latin America.

Message-ID: Things have been very busy here at PyCon Australia 2012 headquarters -- we've been busy putting the finishing touches on what we hope will be an amazing conference for Python programmers from around Australia and beyond. === T-shirt registration deadline: Tuesday 31 July. === Of course, a conference is nothing without people attending, and there's still plenty of opportunity to join in the fun. Registrations for the conference will remain open until the week of the conference, or until we sell out; but if you want one of our fantastic conference t-shirts, you'll need to have your registration finalised on Tuesday, 31 July. Prices for reigstrations start at $44 for students, and $198 for individuals. You can register at http://2012.pycon-au.org/register/prices === More Events! === For those of you attending the conference, you'll be pleased to know that we've confirmed a few more of our events for the conference. The annual PyLadies breakfast is happening on the Saturday, before conference festivities start, at Wrest Point's Pier One waterfront restaurant. This event is open to all female delegates to the conference, and is being sponsored by our good friends at Google Australia. We've also finalised details of our conference dinner -- we'll be sharing details of these with you next week, but needless to say, we're very excited about it, and can't wait to share this with you. === About PyCon Australia === PyCon Australia is the national conference for the Python Programming Community. The third PyCon Australia will be held on August 18 and 19, 2012 in Hobart, Tasmania, bringing together professional, student and enthusiast developers with a love for developing with Python. PyCon Australia informs the country?s Python developers with presentations, tutorials and panel sessions by experts and core developers of Python, as well as the libraries and frameworks that they rely on.

It is a general-purpose language adopted by many scientific applications such as computational fluid dynamics, bio molecular simulation, artificial intelligence, statistics and data analysis, scientific visualization etc. More and more industrial domains are turning towards it as well, such as robotics, semiconductor manufacturing, automotive solutions, telecommunication, computer graphics, and games. In all fields, the use of Python for scientific, high performance parallel, and distributed computing, as well as general scripted automation is increasing. Moreover, Python is well-suited for education in scientific computing. The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia using Python for all aspects of high performance and scientific computing. The goal is to present Python applications from mathematics, science, and engineering, to discuss general topics regarding the use of Python (such as language design and performance issues), and to share experience using Python in scientific computing education. Topics ------ * High performance computing with Python * Performance analysis, profiling, and debugging of Python code * System administration using Python * Integration with other programming languages * Python applications in mathematics, science, and engineering * Scientific visualization * Problem solving environments * Education in scientific computing Papers/Submission ----------------- We invite you to submit a paper of up to 10 pages via the submission site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pyhpc2012). All papers will be published published as a part of the SC 2012 digital proceedings. These are IEEE digital library proceedings that will be available online. The 10-page limit includes figures, tables, and appendices, but does not include references, for which there is no page limit. The formatting instructions are available here: http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Important Dates --------------- Full paper submission: September 14, 2012 Notification of acceptance: October 1, 2012 Camera-ready papers: October 29, 2012 Program Committee ----------------- * Achim Basermann, German Aerospace Center, Germany * David Beazley, Dabeaz, LLC, USA * William E.
