[Matplotlib-users] [ANN] CFP: SciPy India 2012 -- Dec 27-29 -- IIT Bombay
Hello, The CFP for SciPy India 2012, to be held in IIT Bombay from December 27-29 is open. Please spread the word! Scipy.in is a conference providing opportunities to spread the use of the Python programming language in the Scientific Computing community in India. It provides a unique opportunity to interact with the "Who's who" of the Python for Scientific Computing fraternity and learn, understand, participate, and contribute to Scientific Computing using Python. Attendees of the conference and participants of the sprints planned will be able to access and review the tools available. They will also be able to learn domain-specific applications and how the tools apply to a plethora of application problems. One of the goals of the conference is to combine education, engineering, and science with computing through the medium of Python. This conference also aims to spread the use of Python for Scientific Computing in various fields and among different communities. Call for Papers We look forward to your submissions on the use of Python for Scientific Computing and Education. This includes pedagogy, exploration, modeling and analysis from both applied and developmental perspectives. We welcome contributions from academia as well as industry. Submission of Papers = If you wish to present your paper using this platform, please submit an abstract of 300 to 700 words describing the topic, including its relevance to scientific computing. Based on the number and quality of the submissions, the conference organizers will allot 10 - 30 minutes for each accepted talk. In addition to these talks, there will be an open session of lightning talks, during which any attendee who wishes to talk on a pertinent topic is invited to do a presentation not exceeding five minutes in duration.

[Matplotlib-users] ANN: SciPy 2009 early registration extended to July 22nd
The early registration deadline for SciPy 2009 has been extended until Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Please register ( http://conference.scipy.org/to_register ) by this date to take advantage of the reduced early registration rate. Since we just announced the conference schedule, I was asked to provide extra time for people to register. Fortunately, we were able to get a few extra days from our vendors. But we will have to place orders next Thursday, so this is the last time we will be able to extend the deadline for registration. The conference schedule is available here: http://conference.scipy.org/schedule About the conference SciPy 2009, the 8th Python in Science conference, will be held from August 18-23, 2009 at Caltech in Pasadena, CA, USA. The conference starts with two days of tutorials to the scientific Python tools. There will be two tracks, one for introduction of the basic tools to beginners, and one for more advanced tools. The tutorials will be followed by two days of talks. Both days of talks will begin with a keynote address. The first day’s keynote will be given by Peter Norvig, the Director of Research at Google; while, the second keynote will be delivered by Jon Guyer, a Materials Scientist in the Thermodynamics and Kinetics Group at NIST. The program committee will select the remaining talks from submissions to our call for papers. All selected talks will be included in our conference proceedings edited by the program committee. After the talks each day we will provide several rooms for impromptu birds of a feather discussions. Finally, the last two days of the conference will be used for a number of coding sprints on the major software projects in our community. For the 8th consecutive year, the conference will bring together the developers and users of the open source software stack for scientific computing with Python. Attendees have the opportunity to review the available tools and how they apply to specific problems. By providing a forum for developers to share their Python expertise with the wider commercial, academic, and research communities, this conference fosters collaboration and facilitates the sharing of software components, techniques, and a vision for high level language use in scientific computing.

I spoke with the SoC coordinator about this last year and was told they would prefer us to stay under the PSF umbrella. This year they plan to sponsor fewer mentoring organizations, I believe (so less chance we would get accepted). Finally, the deadline for submitting an application to be a mentoring organization is Friday (March 13) at 12 noon PDT: http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2009/faqs.html#0_1_mentoring_orgs_52990812492_14255507054617844 -- Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
