Greetings
We're close to the point where we'll be calling for talks so I'd like
to start a discussion about what kinds of things we'd like to be on
the programme. The final programme obviously depends on finding
speakers but I think we need to know what sorts of talks to push. I've
started by listing of topics that seemed important to me below. Things
that I thought we might want tutorials on I've marked with "(T)"
although since tutorials are longer, space for those in the programme
is going to be limited.
If anyone has any topics to add, or thoughts on the direction of the
programme, please reply.
Possible topics:
Core Python:
* Python packaging (T)
* Unit testing (T)
* Python performance
Web development:
* Django (T)
* GeoDjango
* Flask
Python for science, engineering and data crunching:
* Scipy
* Numpy
* Pypy
* Pandas
* Spatial Data Infrastructures
Python development for Mobiles:
* Writing Android applications in Python
* Mobile messaging with Python
* Django for mobi sites (T)
* Embedded Python
Backend Python:

* Managing Cloud Servers (Fabric, Boto)
* Monitoring (Diamond, Carbon, Graphite)
* Writing Scalable Python programs
Storing data:
* SQLAlchemy
* SQLObject
* Accessing NoSQL datastores from Python
Community development:
* Getting involved with Python projects
