So don't miss the opportunity to be a speaker. The link to submit your proposal is this: https://goo.gl/forms/sTInAbRMdgzf2so13 We are also happy to announce our first keynote speaker: Lorena Mesa. About her: Political scientist turned coder, Lorena Mesa is a data engineer on GitHub's software intelligence systems team, Director on the Python Software Foundation, and PyLadies Chicago co-organizer. Lorena's time at Obama for America and her subsequent graduate research required her to learn how to transform messy, incomplete data into intelligible analysis on topics like predicting Latinx voter behavior. It's this unique background in research and applied mathematics that drove Lorena to pursue a career in engineering and data science. One part activist, one part Star Wars fanatic, and another part Trekkie, Lorenaabides by the motto to "live long and prosper". And ticket sales are open. Early birds get 25% discount! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pycon-sweden-2018-tickets-51305073857 ** Who should submit a proposal? ------------------------------------------------------------ If you are worried about whether or not you should submit a proposal, don't be.
