See* https://2016.pycon-au.org/cfp* * for all the details, or read on.* Proposals are being accepted for the main conference weekend, and for the preceding specialist tracks: DjangoCon AU; the Python in Education seminar; the Science & Data miniconf; and the Internet-of-Things miniconf. The conference this year will be held from Friday 12th August to Tuesday 16th August. Miniconfs and special events are on Friday followed by the main conference on Saturday and Sunday. The final two days are developer sprints. Important Dates Proposal submission deadline: Sunday, 8th May Proposal acceptance: Sunday, 29th May PyCon Australia attracts professional developers from all walks of life, including industry, government, and science, as well as enthusiast and student developers. We?re looking for proposals for presentations and tutorials on any aspect of Python programming, at all skill levels from novice to advanced. Presentation subjects may range from reports on open source, academic or commercial projects; or even tutorials and case studies. If a presentation is interesting and useful to the Python community, it will be considered for inclusion in the program. We're especially interested in short presentations that will teach conference-goers something new and useful. Can you show attendees how to use a module? Explore a Python language feature? Package an application? For more information, please visit https://2016.pycon-au.org/cfp. Thanks very much to all prospective speakers from the program committee -- we really appreciate it! === About PyCon Australia === PyCon Australia is the national conference for the Python programming community. The seventh PyCon Australia will be held on August 12-16 2016 in Melbourne, bringing together professional, student and enthusiast developers with a love for programming in Python. PyCon Australia informs the country?s developers with presentations by experts and core developers of Python, as well as the libraries and frameworks that they rely on.

Here, we have a major push for network mapping and graphing purposes together with associated data translation and relationship modelling. This time we are looking to hire a clutch of very good cross-platform Python lovers in both Melbourne and Sydney locations to bolster the team and cut their teeth on the stacks involving custom Java, custom Postgres, VMware on both Linux and Windows. If you happen to know of anyone who might be interested, then I can pave the way very quickly. We are looking for things like QGIS, FME, Alteryx, GIS background, Strong python development, Network modelling, graphing, etc. We're not asking for the holy grail! So realistically our requirements are for capable Python Devs with an understanding - a genuine interest, good grasp on mathematics/algorithms and the problem solving that goes into it. There are 5x contract prospects (anticipated tenure around 18months in 3m rolling intervals)? and there are permanent opportunities once headcount is freed up each quarter. We also need a couple of tech leads. Please pass this around your networks. If you know anyone who is interested, I'd be most thankful if you can ask them to notch up an email to john.knight at tequity.com.au explaining what they would like to do/bring to the table. I will promptly be in touch to further discuss! Lastly and as a complete aside? some of you will know about my involvement with the charity, Code the Future. I am one of the organisers at www.codefuture.org which is a Melbourne based not-for-profit ? we want to see every child learning code in every school and aim to reach 10,000 Aussie kids coding by the end of 2016. So far we have hundreds of Volunteer Devs signed up and we?re growing fast ? please check out this recent post http://bit.ly/21I134x If you or your company/employer can get involved, please go ahead and sign-up online :) With thanks, John John Knight, Tequity Tech Fan & Company Director Ph: 03 9670 9056 | Mob: 0402 234813 Email: john.knight at tequity.com.au Add me here www.LinkedIn.com/in/JKtequity -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
