OSCON 2015 CfP DEADLINE Feb 2
OSCON (O'Reilly Open Source Conference) will be held in Portland, OR July 20-24. The Call for Proposals is now open with a DEADLINE of Monday February 2: http://www.oscon.com/open-source-2015/public/cfp/360 O'Reilly has completely reorganized OSCON. Instead of focusing on individual technologies, there are a bunch of themes: * Identity - An emerging and nuanced facet in the digital age and an exciting cross-functional track at OSCON 2015. * Security - We'll explore security from top to bottom, offering frameworks and libraries, strategies for testing, and field reports of both security failure and success. * Privacy - Computers remember our interactions at a level of detail the physical world never has. Do we want to be remembered, and for how long? * Performance - From compilation and interpreter time to DOM manipulation, browser responsiveness, and network latency, we'll explore performance in all its facets. * Mobility - We'll look at what it means to have a successful mobile game plan, from wearables to native apps. * People - Making projects work requires communications, collaboration, and respect; we'll look at the ways a new generation of tools and approaches can help you work. * Architecture - Software architecture is a massive multidisciplinary subject, covering many roles and responsibilities--and a key position in the success of any business. * Scale - You've created a great web interface that is well designed, secure, and works well in a beta with 100 consumers, but how about 10,000, 1,000,000, or more? * Storage - Find your way among the myriad choices for storing data and optimizing your systems for stability, distribution, convenience, and performance. * Teaching - You want to share your best practices, projects, and tools with the world, but how do you go about sharing this knowledge? We'll examine learning theory and methods of teaching. * Design - It's critical for success; learn how to incorporate design best practices from the beginning of your project rather and all the way through. * Solve - Harness the power of math to manipulate, secure, and create data. * Data - Let's tackle data's continued, growing influence over the entire business world and how you can make it work for you. * Foundations - A strong foundation in computational thinking, problem solving, and programming best practices makes for a successful programmer.

Call for diversity
The Python community is both incredibly diverse (Python 3.1's release manager was not yet eighteen years old) and incredibly lacking in diversity (none of the regular committers is a woman). Kirrily Robert gave a keynote at OSCON last week about women in Open Source, and I blogged about the lunchtime aftermath (if you're not familiar with the issues, I suggest making sure to follow all the links I included): http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=263671 Thinking further, I believe that the Python community really needs to be more active in creating diversity. As my blog says, the first step is for us to admit that there is a problem. I believe that the next step is for us as a community to make a formal statement supporting diversity. I've created a new mailing list (divers...@python.org) to discuss the wording of a diversity statement, along with discussing diversity issues in general. I invite anyone interested in the subject of diversity to join the list -- even if you disagree that actively supporting diversity is needed, I would like a chance to convince you. http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/diversity Please note that I believe that the Python community is generally welcoming and that the Python community would jump on anyone who behaved in an overtly prejudiced way (unlike some controversies in other communities). However, I think that we have also inherited the lack of diversity in Open Source as a whole, and I believe that taking a more active role in building diversity will build a more vibrant Python community. After all, as Kirrily pointed out, the more inclusive we are, the more people we have working on Python. I just started a new job this week, so I'm not going to be pushing this any time soon -- but I also feel that I need to throw this out so that other people can get involved if they want. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) * http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Many customs in this life persist because they ease friction and promote productivity as a result of universal agreement, and whether they are precisely the optimal choices is much less important. --Henry Spencer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/

[META] Usenet posting failures
Some posts to comp.lang.python.announce are not making it out to Usenet. We're investigating why, but MIME seems to somehow be involved -- plain text posts seem to work fine. We will try to monitor and make sure that all submissions get to Usenet, but we recommend that people who care check themselves by monitoring both the newsgroup comp.lang.python.announce and the mailing list python-list-announce or the p-l-a archive at mail.python.org (so far, all posts have gotten to the mailing list). If you don't see your post within a few hours of it showing up on the list (or a couple of days if you're monitoring with Google Groups ;-), please send e-mail to python-announce-list-ow...@python.org -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) * http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Why is this newsgroup different from all other newsgroups? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
