We're coming to Portland! Message-ID: PyCascades is a two-day single track conference organized by Python community members in the Pacific Northwest. After producing PyCascades Vancouver (2018) and PyCascades Seattle (2019), we are now ready to complete the PyCascades trilogy in Portland, Oregon, USA. We'll be coming to Revolution Hall, Feb 8-9, 2020. There will be sprints at the same venue on Monday, Feb 10, 2020. Please check our announcement at: https://2020.pycascades.com/news/2-pycascades-2020-dates-location-cfp/ *Call for proposals* Our CFP is currently open until October 1st, 2019, and we want your talk proposals. https://www.papercall.io/pycascades-2020 We're especially keen on having new and first time speakers on our stage. We've recruited a number of experienced speakers as mentors, and they'll be happy to help you with your talk proposal. You can request a mentor by emailing me: mariatta at pycascades dot com *Opportunity Grant* Our opportunity grant program is designed to prioritize people with relatively low income, speakers, active builders of Python community, notable open source contributors, and people in need of childcare. However, anyone who would be financially burdened by attending PyCascades is welcome to apply at https://2020.pycascades.com/grants/ *PyCascades & PyLadies* To better support aspiring speakers from underrepresented group, we're partnering with PyLadies chapters in the Pacific Northwest to host CFP brainstorming sessions. Several PyCascades organizers and speaker mentors will be in attendance and help facilitate the discussions.
