The first day will feature presentations and the second is reserved for sprints. We are currently accepting proposals for both talks and sprints. If you would like to give a presentation, organize a sprint or see presentations on a particular topic, please see instructions at http://python.fi/pyconfi. The deadline for proposals is 1.8. The organizers will notify accepted presenters and sprint coordinators by 14.8. The presentation slots will be 40 minutes + 10 minutes of discussion at the end. Shared sessions are also possible. The language for the presentations should be English to encourage international participation. We are also looking for sponsors for the event. If you are interested in sponsoring, please contact Python Finland at hallitus at python.fi for details about sponsorship packages. -- Jyry Suvilehto Spokesperson, Python Finland From goodger at python.org Thu Jun 16 14:41:46 2011 From: goodger at python.org (David Goodger) Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 08:41:46 -0400 Subject: [Conferences] admin/moderator needed for conferences list Message-ID: There's a backlog of messages requiring moderation (for a bunch of conferences in Portugal and Spain, not sure if they're applicable to this list or spam), and a trickle of new messages.
