SciPy 2010 News: Specialized track deadline extended
Have you been meaning to prepare an abstract to submit for a SciPy 2010 specialized track (http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2010/papers.html#tracks )? Didn't find the time? Well you're in luck. This weekend, we had technical issues with the email submissions for the specialized tracks. In light of the inconvenience, we've decided to extend the deadline an additional two weeks until Sunday, April 25th. If you have an abstract ready for one of the four specialized tracks, please use the links below to submit it to the program chair. If you previously submitted one and didn't receive confirmation that we received it, it would be a great idea to submit it again to ensure we get it. * Biomedical/bioinformatics chaired by Glen Otero, Dell submit/contact: 2010bioinformat...@scipy.org * Financial analysis chaired by Wes McKinney, AQR Capital Management submit/contact: 2010fina...@scipy.org * Geophysics chaired by Alan Jackson, Shell submit/contact: 2010geophys...@scipy.org * Parallel processing & cloud computing co-chaired by Ken Elkabany, PiCloud & Brian Granger, CalPoly submit/contact: 2010paral...@scipy.org Main Conference Submissions Submissions for the main SciPy 2010 conference closed Sunday.

Reminder: Python BarCamp Cologne this Saturday, April 17, 2010, registration still open!
(The following announcement is about a regional unconference in Cologne, Germany, so the reminder of the message is in German language.) Hallo liebe Pythonfreunde, ich möchte nochmals darauf hinweisen, dass an diesem Samstag, dem 17.14.2010 das erste Python BarCamp in Köln, organisiert von pyCologne, der Python User Group Köln, statt findet. Nähere Information zu dieser Unkonferenz findet man im deutschen Python Wiki: http://wiki.python.de/PythonBarCamp Die Teilnehmerzahl ist auf 30 beschränkt, es sind aber noch einige Plätze für Kurzentschlossene frei! Informationen zur Registrierung findet man unter der angegebenen URL. Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos, das Mittagessen wird teilweise gesponsort aber jeder Teilnehmer sollte die Bereitschaft mitbringen, eine etwa 30-45 minütige Session zu einem Pythonthema seiner Wahl zu leiten. Es würde uns freuen, wenn ihr Informationen über dieses Event kräftig in euren Blogs oder über Twitter u.ä. verbreitet, sowohl im Vorfeld als auch während der Veranstaltung, falls ihr es nicht sowieso schon getan habt. Aber am besten kommt ihr natürlich selbst vorbei! Für diejenigen, die nicht dabei sein können, werden wir auf jeden Fall Audio-Aufzeichnungen der Sessions machen, eventuell auch Videoaufnahmen, und diese dann im Wiki und anderen Stellen veröffentlichen. Die Teilnehmer sind angehalten auch selbst fleißig über das Event im Internet zu berichten. Wir freuen uns auf eure Teilnahme, bis Samstag in Köln!
