PyOhio: Call for Proposals

PyOhio 2009, the second annual Python programming mini-conference for Ohio
and surrounding areas, will take place Saturday-Sunday, July 25-26, 2009 at
the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. A variety of activities are
planned, including tutorials, scheduled talks, Lightning Talks, and Open
Spaces.

PyOhio invites all interested people to submit proposals for scheduled talks
and tutorials. PyOhio will accept abstracts on any topics of interest to
Python programmers.

Standard presentations are expected to last 40 minutes with a 10 minute
question-and-answer period. Other talk formats will also be considered,
however; please indicate your preferred format in your proposal. Hands-on
tutorial sessions are also welcomed. Tutorial instructors should indicate
the expected length

PyOhio is especially interested in hosting a Beginners' Track for those new
to Python or new to programming in general. If your proposal would be
suitable for inclusion in the Beginners' Track, please indicate so.
Organizers will work with speakers and instructors in the Beginners' Track
to help them coordinate their talks/tutorials into a smooth, coherent
learning curve for new Python users.

All proposals should include abstracts no longer than 500 words in length.
Abstracts must include the title, summary of the presentation, the expertise
level targeted, and a brief description of the area of Python programming it
relates to.

All proposals should be emailed to cfp at pyohio.org for review. Please submit
proposals by May 15, 2009. Accepted speakers will be notified by June 1.

You can read more about the conference at http://pyohio.org

If you have questions about proposals, please email cfp at pyohio.org. You can
also contact the PyOhio organizers at pyohio-organizers at python.org.
