Call for proposals -- PyCon 2010 -- <http://us.pycon.org/2010/>
===============================================================

Due date: October 1st, 2009

Want to showcase your skills as a Python Hacker? Want to have
hundreds of people see your talk on the subject of your choice? Have some
hot button issue you think the community needs to address, or have some
package, code or project you simply love talking about? Want to launch
your master plan to take over the world with python?

PyCon is your platform for getting the word out and teaching something
new to hundreds of people, face to face.

Previous PyCon conferences have had a broad range of presentations,
from reports on academic and commercial projects, tutorials on a broad
range of subjects and case studies. All conference speakers are volunteers
and come from a myriad of backgrounds. Some are new speakers, some
are old speakers. Everyone is welcome so bring your passion and your
code! We're looking to you to help us top the previous years of success
PyCon has had.

PyCon 2010 is looking for proposals to fill the formal presentation tracks.
The PyCon conference days will be February 19-22, 2010 in Atlanta,
Georgia, preceded by the tutorial days (February 17-18), and followed
by four days of development sprints (February 22-25).

Online proposal submission is open now! Proposals  will be accepted
through October 1st, with acceptance notifications coming out on
November 15th. For the detailed call for proposals, please see:

  <http://us.pycon.org/2010/conference/proposals/>

We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta!

smartest cookies in the Python Universe.  Anything Python may be submitted
for consideration but there are a limited number of sessions to be filled.
Topics taught or requested over the past two years include:

* Python 101 - An introduction to programming Python, either for complete
beginners or programmers experienced in other languages.

* Python 201 - There has been repeated requests for classes covering
"intermediate" topics; data structures, database techniques,
classes/objects, standard library, eggs, etc.

* Python 401 - Classes covering "advanced" topics;
multi-processing/concurrency, iterators/generators, OOP, etc.

* Web Topics - Frameworks, web testing, design, security, scraping.

* Scientific Python - MatLab, SciPy

* Testing - Frameworks, methods

* GUI - Dabo, wxPython, TkInter, etc.

*  More: XML, GIS, SQLAlchemy, Jython, System Administration

Tom,

Thanks for cross-posting this!  I think someone canceled last minute
and they asked me to give a talk that night.

When I get my PyCon talk submission together (which will be soon since
the due date is October 1) I'd like to set up a presentation for
TriZPUG.  I know that I just need to go to the wiki and grab a slot,
so I'll do that.  It will be a very different subject vs. this TriJUG
talk (right now I'm thinking it will be about integration strategies
between Java and Jython -- or how to write Java without writing Java
:)

Next TriZPUG Meeting: Thursday September 24, 7pm  at Levine Science 
Research Center (LSRC) Wing A, Room A328, Nicholas School of the 
Environment, Duke University, Durham. Chris Calloway will present 
Cheetah, a Python package for code generation via templates. This talk 
is a warm-up for the No-Fun ZopeSkel BBQ Sprint hosted by TriZPUG the 
following week (for which you will need Cheetah skills). Other talks at 
the meeting are welcome. Bring your own talk. Parking is in the Bryan 
Center metered lot or garage  (not free). Call 358-2662 if arriving 
after 7pm to get in the door. The after-meeting will be at The Federal 
at 914 W. Main St. in Durham.

A lot going on lately, at lot of it offlist, so a lot to talk about at 
the meeting maybe. Stephan Altmueller is giving a Python and a BFG 
training on UNC campus (for College of Arts and Science personnel). Paul 
Smith and Kurt Grandis are teaming up for a Django Bootcamp-style event. 
And Josh Johnson and I are hosting the ZopeSkel sprint Oct 2-5. Joel 
Burton, Cris Ewing, and Matthew Wilkes are flying in for the occasion. 
Chris Rossi is joining in locally. Thanks to all of you whom contributed 
to our sprint travel expense bounty.

Thanks to Ben Donnelly for coming through with the meeting location. 
We're returning this month to one of our historical meeting places on 
the Duke campus: the Nicholas School for the Environment.

The following instructions come from Ben:

1. Get to Cameron Blvd, enter campus from the Science Drive entrance, 
across the street from the Washington Duke. Drive past the stadia, keep 
straight past the intersection with Towerview.

2. Just past the speed bumps is the left entrance to the Bryan Center 
parking lot. Park there.

3. Walk to the end of Science drive which ends in a loop. Walk into the 
Physics parking lot, which is the car gate on the loop. The building on 
your right is the A-Wing of LSRC.

4. Signs will point to a narrow outdoors staircase which leads to the 
third floor. We'll let you in (all doors are protected by Duke ID card 
readers after 6PM). My cell is 358-2662.

Hello Trizpuglians- as I think about everyone arriving tonight, I
realize that cell phones don't always get the best reception in our

I made corrections and added a few slides. Kurt, the placeholder

Thanks for the great turn out. We overflowed the room. Thanks to Bendy 
for hosting. Thanks to Kurt for the doughnuts.

Our next meeting will be in Chapel Hill on Thursday October 22 at 7pm at 
Carrboro Creative Coworking (http://www.carrborocoworking.com/). Brad 
Crittenden will be running the meeting and I will be out of town. More

At the end of the Trizpug meeting last night, I mentioned that our lab
(http://mgel.env.duke.edu) is looking the sort of designer who could
help get our web sites into top shape. I saw a bunch of eyes light up,
so please pass along who y'all were considering. Here's our flagship
web app:

http://seamap.env.duke.edu

There's an number of other projects related to the Census of Marine
Life that we are involved with as well:

http://coml.org

In the next year, we're going to be involved with creating a lot of
information graphics that aren't necessarily cartographic, which is
where our core skills reside. We've got the coders, and we all like
information design, but we haven't put in the hours to become really
good graphic designers or usability experts. So that's the foremost
skill we're seeking. Adobe Flash skills are probably a must for
producing the information graphics. Beyond that, we're not seeking
specific technology skills or scientific knowledge- just the
willingness to acquire it.

If you want to reply off-list, send it to my Duke address: bendy at duke.edu

I want to put in an endorsement here.

I know people in Bendy's lab. They are the best, smartest people you 
could ever work with. Also, the boss of the lab is a superstar 
scientist, literally. He is at the very top of his field.
