Message-ID: <A1B785B2-6E17-497D-9F7C-434148DF6B08@hauru.eu>

Hello!

DjangoCon Europe http://2013.djangocon.eu will be held in Warsaw from the 15th-19th May 2013 (three days of talks followed by two of sprints and workshops). 

The organisers are very pleased to invite members of the Django community to submit their talk proposals for the event. 

We're looking for Django and Python enthusiasts, pioneers, adventurers and anyone else who would like to share their Django achievements and experiments with the rest of the community. 

We are particularly keen to invite submissions from potential speakers who have not previously considered speaking at an event like this - so if you haven't, please consider it now! 

We really look forward to hearing from you all, and seeing you in Warsaw next May. 

For more information, see http://blog.djangocircus.com/post/36590674298/call-for-speakers. 

Hurry up! Not much time left! 

Powodzenia!

Hi all,

To avoid conference scheduling clashes we set up a shared calendar:

https://www.google.com/calendar/render?cid=j7gov1cmnqr9tvg14k621j7t5c%40group.calendar.google.com

Please, we ask you to look at this calendar when planning your event
so that we can avoid such unfortunate occurrences as the
just-announced EuroPython being on at the same time as PyCon AU.


Thanks,

    Richard

Hi John, how can we add events to that calendar?

There's a number of us with permission to add events. We add them when
we see announcements or mentions on this mailing list. Information
about it is also at http://www.pycon.org/ (it used to be in the wiki
as well...)

The intention is for any Python conference or event (including user
group meetings but not things like commercial training courses) to be
listed.

Any particular manner in which tentative dates should be marked/prefixed?

PyCon AU was officially announced 7 days ago.
This may have been a case of "EuroPython announced today, but date was
set in stone 3 weeks ago" so I think planned dates need to go in the
calendar as well.

Cheers,
Danny

Announcing PyCon Australia 2013 ? July 5?7, Hobart, Tasmania

== Connecting the Australian Python Community ==

PyCon Australia is the national conference for users of the Python
Programming Language. In July 2013, we're returning to Hobart,
bringing together students, enthusiasts, and professionals with a love
of Python from around Australia, and from all over the World.

Once again, we'll have a weekend packed full of amazing content on all
aspects of the Python ecosystem, presented by experts and core
developers of the tools and frameworks you use every day.

We're excited about the return of Friday Night CodeWars, and of
course, we've got the usual conference dinner, as well as two days of
developer sprints following the conference proceedings.

We can't wait to share more about the conference in the coming months.
Until then, subscribe to our announcement list, follow us on twitter,
or add yourself to our Lanyrd page.

=== Now with three days of talks! ===

In 2013, before the main event kicks off, we're welcoming two new
mini-conferences on the Friday 5 July.

DjangoCon AU is Australia's first national gathering for developers
using the Django Web Framework. Presented by the Django Software
Foundation, this mini-conference will feature a day of Django-specific
talks and tutorials to support the growing community of Australian
Django Developers.

The Python on OpenStack day is a day of in-depth talks and tutorials
covering the OpenStack cloud platform ? one of the most important
growing Open Source Python projects ? for Python developers.


=== Help shape our programme ===

Every year, we strive to bring the best of Python from around
Australia to the one place, but we can always use some help to find
the Python topics that you want to see at PyCon Australia.

If there's a topic that you really want to see at PyCon Australia, or
there's a speaker who you think we really need to have on our
programme, then head over to our topic or speaker suggestion form, and
let us know all about it!

Submit a speaker or topic suggestion: http://tinyurl.com/pyconau2013-suggestions


=== Dates & Venue ===

We'll be opening our Call for Proposals in late February, and we'll be
closing it in early April.

Early Bird registration will open towards the end of March, and will
run through April. Registration will remain open until close to the
conference opening.

The conference will be held in July, where we're moving into a bigger,
better venue at the Wrest Point Convention Centre in Hobart. The
Miniconfs will be held on Friday 5 July, the conference proceedings
are on Saturday 6 & Sunday 7 July, and the post-conference sprints
will be on Monday 8 & Tuesday 9 July.

announcements mailing list ?
