Subject: [portland] Honored guest from out of town / possible meetup
Message-ID: <CAPJgG3Q=TmNDNRpewZaHCM+nsfskPLPH86ePbaNUTrZom8kxbA@mail.gmail.com>

Henrique Bastos, Pythonista from Brazil, will be in down a few days for a
conference.

He's looking forward to attending our user group on Tuesday July 9, then he
flies home the next day.

He and I plan to be hanging out at Hawthorne Lucky Lab this evening, from
about 6:30 pm.  Feel free to find us.  I'll wear my Bugs Bunny tie to be
identifiable.

I know Henrique is eager to meet fellow Pythonistas, including any working
in Django-based companies.

Happy July 4,

Kirby

Unfortunately, we don't have a sponsor this month. However, you're welcome
to bring some food to eat during the presentations!

Subject: [portland] PyCon 2014 Call for Proposals, New Website
Message-ID: <mailman.21897.1373566513.3113.portland@python.org>

Hi Portland Python Users Group!

It's that time of year again! The PyCon website received a beautiful refresh and we're ready to accept proposals for the 2014 conference taking place April 9-17 in Montreal. Check out the new site at http://us.pycon.org/2014 and create your account today! Registration will open in September, so mark your calendars and get ready to head into Canada for another great PyCon.

We've received record numbers of proposals over each of the last several years, and we expect this year to be no different. For 2012 we received over 500 proposals for talks, tutorials, and posters, and for 2013 we received over 600. This community's excellent submissions have made for schedules where there is just too much good stuff to take in without cloning yourself, which is a problem we're proud to have. Thankfully you can catch up with the talks you missed at http://pyvideo.org/.

If you're interested in submitting a proposal, take a look at our Call for Proposals at http://us.pycon.org/2014/speaking/cfp/ and poke around the site for advice and resources to help you create a great proposal. New for this year are the addition of Lightning Talk proposals, from which we'll be pre-selecting some of the slots that make up the Lightning Talk sessions.


If your company is interested in sponsorship, we need you. Sponsors are what make PyCon a possibility, and sponsorship offers some great values to the generous organizations who support the conference. Check out https://us.pycon.org/2014/sponsors/whysponsor/ to find out what you get out of sponsorship, with a prospectus at https://us.pycon.org/2014/sponsors/prospectus/. Contact Jesse Noller at jnoller at python.org with any sponsorship inquiries.

Keep an eye out for news on our blog at http://pycon.blogspot.com/ and follow us on twitter at https://twitter.com/pycon

Subject: [portland] Couchbase conference
Message-ID: <CAE7UraPBzkYuGmb8vSqf=3sKCLXmV3W7CA=n9GO7q0J3seMjHw@mail.gmail.com>

Hey Pythonistas,

If you're a Couchbase person, tickets to their conference in SF in
September are on a massive discount right now -- $75 instead of $200. Check
it out here if you're interested: http://www.couchbase.com/couchbase-sf-2013
.

I'm not sure when the discount ends, but I've been told it is limited to a
certain number of tickets, not date-based.

Subject: [portland] Portland Django Meetup / Hack Night
Message-ID: <CAD7Gx8CrRxm=dcPVyoTauMjL=aaLu1gMSgQ3sDK2MeojxpX3+g@mail.gmail.com>

Hey All PDX Django Users!

I'd like to invite you to the first Django meeting in a long while. We'll
be hacking on a new Django web-app for the Portland Python User Group. The
meeting will coincide with their regular monthly hack night on Tuesday July
23rd from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm at Urban Airship's new offices (1417 NW Everett
St, Portland). All levels of experience are welcome! You can RSVP @
http://www.meetup.com/pdxpython/.

It would be great to schedule a regular monthly meeting for the Django
group and I'm looking for sponsors with space, food or anything else to
provide. If you or your company can help out, feel free to email me off
list.

Thanks and I look forward to seeing you on the 23rd!

- Matt -
