Since we forgot to post an announcement of it opening to our actual
announce list, now is a perfect opportunity to do so !

---

PyCon Australia 2012 is pleased to announce that its Call for Proposals is
now open! The conference this year will be held on Saturday 18 and Sunday
19 August 2012 in Hobart, Tasmania.

The deadline for proposal submission is Friday May 4, 2012, and more
information can be found at http://pycon-au.org/cfp

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?

We welcome first-time speakers; we are a community conference and we are
eager to hear about your experience. If you have friends or colleagues who
have something valuable to contribute, twist their arms to tell us about
it! Please also forward this Call for Proposals to anyone that you feel may
be interested.

To find out more go to the official Call for Proposals page here:
http://pycon-au.org/cfp

See you in Hobart in August!

Hey guys,

It's time again for Python User Group next week in Canberra, just getting
you psyched.

If anyone has anything interesting they've been working on or questions
they'd like to ask put them up here:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/CanberraPUG

We'll probably have a demo of how to use "Fabric" which is a website
deployment tool.

We're hoping for a really good meeting.

Elena
