Hello Everyone -

It's been too quite for far too long around here; in fact, we didn't even
hold pyArkasas 2013...when we say we need volunteers -- LIKE YOU -- we
really mean it.  I organized the day for 5 years (with help from others)
but last year we just didn't get things going.

I've contacted my friends at UCA and they are looking into possible dates.
This will be the standard Saturday conference sometime in October (we need
to work around UCA home football and the Brewer conference center schedule).

We will need help with scheduling, swag, finance, web/pr and other things.
Let me know if you'd like to help and expect to see more information coming
out next week.

I can help with the website. I still have access to the github repo. The site was hosted at webfaction, I'll check to see if I have the login info.

Hi Greg,

I think I can give you a couple of talks for pyArkansas, Blender, and Python with Blender.


Have you looked at the business school as a facility?? I've been to a couple of Bar Camps there and it's got a nice amphitheater, a generous lobby and 4 well set up class rooms on the ground floor.

Gordon

Subject: [PyAR2] PyCon 2015 Call for Proposals is open!
Message-ID: <mailman.41.1407985142.18126.pyar2@python.org>

Hi Python ARtists of ARkansas!

The PyCon organizers invite you to submit proposals for talks, tutorials, and posters to be presented at PyCon 2015 - https://us.pycon.org/2015/. The conference takes place April 8-16 in Montreal, Queubec, Canada and we'll be accepting talk and tutorial proposals through September 15, with posters accepted through November 1!

We want everyone to be a part of making PyCon what it is, which is why we invite everyone to submit proposals, and we invite everyone to be a part of the program committee. It's your PyCon, not mine. Whether you started with Python yesterday or you've been writing it since the 90s, everyone has different experiences, different knowledge, and a different story to tell. This is why we aim to strike a balance between beginner, intermediate, and advanced talks. We want the entire community to level up as a result of PyCon.

Over the years, we've put together proposal resources and advice to help answer some common topics surrounding our CFP (https://us.pycon.org/2015/speaking/proposal-resources/). We even put together a sample proposal and reviewed it for you at https://us.pycon.org/2015/speaking/proposal_advice/samples/SpacePug/. If you have any questions or tips that may help others, please email them to pycon-pc at python.org, or feel free to respond and I'll help you out.

The full details of our Call for Proposals are available at https://us.pycon.org/2015/speaking/cfp/. Keep an eye on that page as well as https://twitter.com/pycon and http://pycon.blogspot.com/ for details about ticket sales, financial aid, and more PyCon news!

Thanks for your time!
