If you're connecting to the online parts of PyCon, I'll see you there
- I'm about to hang out in the lightning talks! Geography's a bit of a
barrier for me, but thanks to livestreams, I can participate too!

[image: fallback.png]

PyCon Estonia 2023 is coming again!


I am writing to invite you to submit a proposal for PyCon Estonia 2023, the
annual conference to promote and educate people about the Python
programming language. We aim to have our biggest, most international and
diverse conference to date, and we believe your expertise and experience
would be valuable to our program.


The PyCon 2023 conference will take place on the *7th and 8th of September*
at Tallinn University, and all speakers are expected to present their
topics in person.


We are currently accepting proposals for talks, workshops and lightning
talks until the deadline on *21st April 2023*. All talks will be in
English, and we welcome speakers of all experience levels and backgrounds
to contribute. As a speaker, your talk and your slides must follow our Code
of Conduct, ensuring that all content is appropriate for a professional

more information about each type of talk in the guidelines section of our
call for papers
<https://pyconestonia.typeform.com/to/hBOEtTQ3?typeform-source=pycon.ee>.


We want the focus of the conference to be around the Python ecosystem,
however, we are still welcoming talks on other relevant topics, such as
Python challenges, outstanding packages, security, automation, AI/ML, web
development, IoT, mental health for developers, and conducive work
environment for coding.


Speakers do not have to purchase a ticket and get free access to the whole
conference. If you have bought a ticket in advance before being accepted,
we will refund it.


Please feel free to contact us at i...@pythonestonia.ee or directly by

PyCon India 2021: Call for In-kind Sponsors is open now.

[Chandan Kumar]

Hello,

Call for In-kind Sponsors is now open for PyCon India 2021[0]

Organizations with an interest in contributing and adding value to the
event and Python community can come forward to make the most out of

of cash as part of the sponsorship agreement with PyCon India. These
swags or the benefits would be made directly available to PyCon India
2021 attendees.

What's in it for the sponsors?
This act of goodwill while giving back to the community helps sponsors
increase their brand exposure and elevate their business identity
within the Python community.

Interested in applying for the In-Kind Sponsorship?
Check out our call for In-kind Sponsors blog[0] and fill the form [1.]

PyCon India 2020: The Schedule Outline

[Sayan Chowdhury]

Hi everyone,

CFP & Review

The CFP Working Group (WG) did a great job of reaching out to speakers
and achieving a good number of talk proposals. The Review Panel WG
volunteers worked parallelly to get the proposals as complete as
possible as per the guidelines we built before the Subject Matter
Expert (SME) aka Talk Reviewers started the process. Thanks to the
whole Reviewers team for putting their thought and effort into each
talk.

As of today, based on the reviews of the proposals, the first set of
selected speakers has been created. The team will start reaching out
to all these speakers, to prepare the final list.

The date for the final schedule to be published still stands at 15th
September 2020.

Schedule Outline of PyCon India 2020


This year, since we have gone online, the number of talks and
registration outside India is substantially high. So, the team has
decided to start the event at noon and end at 8:00 PM IST. This will
help us to accommodate other timezones as well and not moving much
from our core time.

The schedule outline (the mentioned time is in IST):
12:00 - 12:10 - Opening Session of the day
12:15 - 13:15 - Keynote
13:20 - 13:50 - Talk Slot
13:55 - 14:25 - Talk Slot
14:30 - 15:20 - Break / Networking
15:20 - 15:50 - Talk Slot
15:55 - 16:25 - Talk Slot
16:30 - 17:30 - Keynote
17:30 - 17:50 - Break / Networking
17:50 - 18:20 - Talk Slot
18:25 - 18:55 - Talk Slot
19:00 - 20:00 - Keynote
20:00 - 20:05 - Closing session for the day
20:05 - 20:30 - Networking

The `Talk Slot`s are 30 min slot which would have talks, lightning
talks, and sponsored talks. This will be replicated for all the
stages, except for the
Keynote slots.

This year the team also plans to have 4 parallel tracks, and one track
dedicated for just *Advanced* talks. Once the schedule is prepared, an
update will be shared detail about how the talks will be placed across
the stages/ or sessions.

Though this schedule is tentative and what the whole team is
following, minor updates might be done to accommodate speakers or
sponsors.

PyCon India 2020: The Platform

[Sayan Chowdhury]

Hi everyone,

PyCon India 2020 edition would be happening online and of the biggest
challenges the team faced was finding the platform which suits our
needs. We've looked through a lot of conference tools, ideas, and way
to make the event an amazing one. The main goal in front of us to make
the event as interactive as possible and as close to the offline
version as possible

The team after much review and thought has decided to go with the
platform, Hopin[1]

Hopin
-
Hopin is an all-in-one virtual platform, where the primary mode of
interaction is audio-video or chat. Over the last few months, a lot of
conferences has been organized on the platform and scale at which they
are operating is amazing.

The platform provides with Stages, to present keynotes and talks.
Session area for our open spaces, hallways, and any other impromptu
sessions that need to be created.

It also has an Expo area for the sponsors to interact with the
participants, where they can accommodate their mini session. The
booths in the Expo are very much like the one in the offline setting.

Networking is a good part of Hopin, where you can either do a 1x1
random matching session with folks, or folks can create their private
session to replicate the group discussion.

Last two things to point is, documentation and support. Documentation
of the platform is quite in-depth.

BangPypers Talks - Road to PyCon India 2020

The Hopin Platform was finalized a couple of days back, but today the
BangPypers team hosted the meetup on the platform.

The event was a smooth sailing other a couple of initial hiccups. The
event had 4 talks, which went smoothly. A big thanks to the BangPypers
team.

PyCon JP 2017: Call for Proposals

[プログラムチーム]

Hello! My name is Akira Taniguchi. I am a PyCon JP staff member.

PyCon JP will run on Sep 8 (Fri) and 9 (Sat). We’ve launched our public
website (http://pycon.jp/2017/en/) and are accepting proposals until Jun 5
(Mon).

If possible, please forward this email to individuals who may be interested
and relevant mailing lists.
About This Year’s Conference

The theme for this year’s PyCon JP is “Output and Follow”. We increased the
target number of accepted talks, and made the duration 30 minutes for all
talks. We welcome talks from a wide range of topics and difficulty levels.
For example, on top of talks introducing Python features, frameworks and
example applications, we’re also looking forward to topics previously
unseen at PyCon JP, topics requiring a high level of technical skill, and
talks that put even the most skilled Pythonista to the test. In summary,
we’re looking for a wide range of topics, from beginner to expert level.
Talks by beginners are also most welcome!

For instructions on how to apply, please see the link below.

PyCon ZA 2017 - Call for Speakers

[Neil Muller]

PyCon ZA 2017 will take place 5th & 6th October at The River Club, in
Observatory, Cape Town, South Africa. There will also be tutorial
sessions the day before the conference (the 4th) and we will hold
sprints on the 8th & 9th of October.

We are currently accepting proposals for talks. If you would like to
give a presentation, please register at https://za.pycon.org/ and
submit your proposal, following the instructions at
https://za.pycon.org/talks/submit-talk . We hope to notify accepted
presenters by no later than the 8th of September 2017.

The presentation slots will be 30 minutes long, with an additional 10
minutes for discussion at the end. Shared sessions are also possible.
The presentations will be in English.

PyCon ZA offers a mentorship program for inexperienced speakers. If
you would like assistance preparing your submission, email
t...@za.pycon.org with a rough draft of your talk proposal and we'll
find a suitable experienced speaker to act as a mentor.

In addition to talks, we are also looking for proposals for tutorials,
demos, sprints and open spaces.

Tutorials will be held before the conference, and are expected to
provided in-depth coverage of a topic. The number of attendees will be
also be limited. We are accepting proposals for either half-day (4
hours) or full-day (8 hours) tutorials .

Demos are cool things for attendees to see and interact with.

Open spaces are open discussion forums where communities with a common
interest gather to present views, ask questions and meet people
interested in the topic.

Sprints are coding efforts and hack days that happen after the conference.

There's no need to register a sprint or open space topic upfront, but
doing so allows us to advertise them during the conference.

PyCon 2015 - were all the talks recorded?

[Chris Angelico]

Geography prevented me from attending PyCon 2015, but I would have
loved to see some of the talks, particularly the one by Paul
Hildebrandt of Disney [1]. There's a Youtube channel for PyCon 2015
[2], but searching by speaker's name, Disney, and Inside the Hat
brought no results. Must I assume that this talk was not recorded?
It'd be a great pity.

I there,

I am the core developer of the Pythran[0] compiler, a Python to C++
compiler that focuses on the numpy package optimization, and tries hard
to turn high-level Numpy code into low-level, vectorized, parallel C++
code. I presented an early version at Scipy 2013[1], this should give
you a decent idea of my yet to improve speaker skills :-/

Any way, I would be happy to speak about it at PyCon Belarusian!

EGENIX TALKS AT PYCON UK 2014

At this year's PyCon UK, Marc-André Lemburg, CEO of eGenix, gave the
following talks at the conference. The presentations are available for
viewing and download from our Presentations and Talks section:

When performance matters ...


  Simple idioms you can use to make your Python code run faster and
  use less memory.

  Python applications sometimes need all the performance they can
  get. Think of e.g. web, REST or RPC servers. There are several ways
  to address this: scale up by using more processes, use Cython, use
  PyPy, rewrite parts in C, etc.

  However, there are also quite a few things that can be done directly
  in Python. This talk goes through a number of examples and show
  cases how sticking to a few idioms can easily enhance the
  performance of your existing applications without having to revert
  to more complex optimization strategies.

  The talk was complemented with a lightning talk titled Pythons and
  Flies, which addresses a memory performance idiom and answers one
  of the audience questions raised in the above talk.

Python Web Installer


  Installing Python packages is usually done with one of the available
  package installation systems, e.g. pip, easy_install, zc.buildout,
  or manually by running python setup.py install in a package
  distribution directory.

  These systems work fine as long as you have Python-only
  packages. For packages that contain binaries, such as Python C
  extensions or other platform dependent code, the situation is a lot
  less bright.

  In this talk, we present a new web installer system that we're
  currently developing to overcome these limitations.

  The system combines the dynamic Python installation interface
  supported by all installers (python setup.py install), with a web
  installer which automatically selects, downloads, verifies and
  installs the binary package for your platform.

Talk video and slides:

If you are interested in learning more about these idioms and
techniques, eGenix now offers Python project coaching and consulting
services to give your project teams advice on how to achieve best
performance and efficiency with Python:

PyCon ZA 2014 - Call for Speakers

[Neil Muller]

PyConZA 2014 will take place 2nd  3rd October in Johannesburg, South
Africa.  There will be two days of talks, and we will hold sprints on
the 4th  5th of October.

We are currently accepting proposals for talks. If you would like to
give a presentation, please register at http://za.pycon.org/ and
submit your proposal, following the instructions at
http://za.pycon.org/talks/submit-talk . We hope to notify accepted
presenters by no later than the 7th of September.

The presentation slots will be 30 minutes long, with an additional 10
minutes for discussion at the end. Shared sessions are also possible.
The presentations will be in English.

In addition to talks, we are also looking for proposals for tutorials,
demos and open spaces.

Tutorials are intended to be more in-depth introductions to a topic
with a limited number of attendees. Tutorial sessions can be up to 90
minutes long.

Demos are cool things for attendees to see and interact with.

Open spaces are open discussion forums where communities with a common
interest gather to present views, ask questions and meet people
interested in the topic.

There's no need to register a sprint topic upfront, but doing so
allows us to advertise them during the conference.

Python offers several advanced concepts. It is possible to write useful Python
programs without them. But if you want to really understand how Python works
and how to write really pythonic programs, you should know about these topics:

* Iterators and generators
* Decorators
* Descriptors
* Metaclasses

The workshop covers them in detail using code examples that will be immediately
useful for your daily work. Carefully crafted exercises help you to experience
the learnt material. You will get detailed solutions for all exercises after
the training.

Bring your laptop with Python 2.7 or 3.3 installed for an intensive, hands-on
workshop with real-life examples.

Revealing the PyCon Australia 2013 Programme!

[Chris Neugebauer]

tl;dr: The PyCon Australia 2013 programme is out now -- you can see it at
http://2013.pycon-au.org/programme/schedule/saturday -- registration info
is up at http://2013.pycon-au.org/register/prices

Now that we've announced both of our keynote presenters, PyCon Australia is
very proud to be able to reveal the rest of the programme for the 2013
conference, to be held on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 July 2013, following
DjangoCon AU and the PyCon AU OpenStack Miniconf on Friday 5 July 2013 in
Hobart, Tasmania.

Following a record-breaking response to our Call for Proposals the
conference will feature three full tracks of presentations and tutorials,
across two days, covering all aspects of the Python ecosystem, presented by
experts and core developers of key Python technology.

Our keynote presenters, Alex Gaynor, software engineer at Rdio and core
contributor to many Python open source projects, and Tennessee Leeuwenburg,
software engineer at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, will be joined
by a wide array of presenters covering a broad range of backgrounds,
including industry, research, government and academia.

As ever, PyCon Australia is a great place to keep up-to-date with the
latest trends in Python web technology: Django lead developer, Jacob
Kaplan-Moss will be presenting on Building secure web apps: Python vs the
OWASP Top 10. As well as DjangoCon AU, the main conference will feature
talks on testing, deployment, and optimisation of Python-based web apps.

For the first time, we've packed out an entire stream of talks on using
Python in the Sciences. Centred around Edward Schofield's tutorial, Modern
scientific computing and big data analytics in Python, there are also talks
on the amazingly versatile IPython Notebook, and the Pandas numerical
library.

We've also made sure that beginners, or people looking to brush up on their
Python skillset, have a clear path through the conference. Starting with
Peter Lovett's Python 102 tutorial, you can rapidly enhance your knowledge
of Python, and then you can attend our general stream talks to glean a
snapshot of the state of the art in Python.

The full schedule for PyCon Australia 2013 can be found at
http://2013.pycon-au.org/programme/schedule/saturday

Registrations for PyCon Australia 2013 are now open, with prices starting
at AU$44 for students, and tickets for the general public starting at
AU$198. All prices include GST, and more information can be found at
http://2013.pycon-au.org/register/prices

We're looking forward to seeing this excellent programme brought to life at
PyCon Australia 2013, in Hobart, in July.

Free PyCon 2013 passes!

[Wingware]

Hi,

Wingware is a Gold Sponsor at PyCon 2013 and we have three conference 
passes that we are looking to give away.  The conference is completely 
sold out, and these passes are a hot commodity, so we thought we would 
have some fun with this, rather than just offering them on a 
first-come-first-served basis as we usually do.  Here is the deal:


To apply for a free pass, in five paragraphs or less, tell us about ONE 
of the following:


1) How and why you use Wing IDE, and what it has allowed you to do that 
you could not have done without it.
2) How and why you use Python, where it shines, and how it has inspired 
and empowered you.
3) Tell us something really interesting, funny, or inspiring that you 
have worked on or experienced as a programmer, or just as a human.


The authors of three best entries will be given the free PyCon 2013 
passes.  Submissions must be emailed to sa...@wingware.com by 11:59pm 
PST Friday February 22nd and we will choose the three winners over the 
following weekend.


Here's the catch:  You must be willing to allow us to use the text that 
you submit on our website and/or blog.  We hope to publish the winning 
entries on our blog, but reserve the right not to, depending on the 
content of the entries. ;-)


Please be sure to check the feasibility of traveling to the conference 
before applying.  We are offering only the conference passes and not any 
travel or lodging expenses.


Thanks,

Two day Twisted training in San Francisco, March 11-12 (right before PyCon)

[Itamar Turner-Trauring]

Twisted (http://twistedmatrix.com) is a robust, mature, open source
event-driven networking framework written in Python. Supported features
range from low-level network transports such as TCP, SSL, UDP, and
multicast, to high-level protocols including HTTP, DNS, SSH, SMTP and IMAP.
Twisted is used by companies large and small, including Apple, Justin.tv,
Canonical (makers of Ubuntu) and TweetDeck, and by open source projects
like Tahoe-LAFS.

If you want to build reliable, well-tested network applications in Python,
Twisted may be the tool you need. In this two-day class we will cover the
basic principles and core APIs of Twisted. Covered material will include

   - Understanding Event Loops: we'll re-implement Twisted's core APIs
   step-by-step (reactor, transport, protocol), explaining the why and how of
   event-driven networking.
   - TCP Clients and Servers.
   - Scheduling Timed Events.
   - Deferreds: the motivation and uses of Twisted's result callback
   abstraction.
   - Producers and Consumers: dealing with large amounts of data.
   - Unit Testing: how to test your networking code.
   - A large, self-paced exercise, implementing a HTTP server and client
   from scratch using pre-written unit tests as guidance, and our help as
   needed.

The class will take place on the Monday and Tuesday before PyCon 2013, so
might be suitable for out-of-town visitors as well.

Cost is $650 (early bird, available until Feb 15th), or $750 after that.
Sign up at http://futurefoundries.eventbrite.com.


Abous us:

Jean-Paul Calderone has consulted for Fortune 500 companies, startups and
research institutions. He has taught Twisted tutorials at PyCon, Fluendo SA
in Barcelona, and Rackspace Inc. Jean-Paul has been one of the core Twisted
maintainers since 2002, and is the maintainer of pyOpenSSL.

Itamar Turner-Trauring spent many years working on distributed applications
as part of ITA Software by Google's airline reservation system, coding in
Python (often using Twisted), C++ and a little bit of Common Lisp. Itamar
has also worked on projects ranging from a reliable multicast messaging
system with congestion control, a prototype-based configuration language,
to a multimedia kiosk for a museum. Itamar has been one of the core Twisted
maintainers since 2001.

PyCon for students?

[Devin Jeanpierre]

Hey guys,

I recently saw a post saying that PyCon for students' price was
dropped to $100. If you are trying to attract students, why not move
PyCon to take place during the summer? As far as I know, summer vs
spring makes no difference to any members of the general working
population (except for teachers and such, who have the same schedule
as students), but for students it's the difference between missing a
week of school (or, worse, exams), and being able to do whatever
because it's the summer vacation.

-- Devin

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: PyCon for students?

[Michael Hrivnak]

Having a conference during the summer is generally more expensive,
because you have to compete with tourists for lodging and such.  For
this reason, summer-time conventions are often in places where nobody
wants to be during the summer, like Phoenix.

That said, Santa Clara probably isn't a cheap location in March, and
they could probably find a non-scorching and non-touristy city that's
no more expensive during the summer.

So it's a balance between wanting a location that is affordable vs. a
location that will give extra incentive for people to attend.

Also, professional python devs like to take their vacations during the
summer too, so there is potential for conflict with that.

Lastly, the main conference is Friday-Sunday, and I think many
students could make that work.  It also probably overlaps with a lot
of spring breaks.

Michael

P.S. Instead of doing whatever during the summer, many students have
important internships that they don't want to skip out on any more
than regular classes.

About PyCon Argentina 2012:
==

PyCon Argentina is the largest annual worldwide community gathering of
Spanish-speaking users and developers of the Python programming
language.
It is a community conference organized by volunteers of Python
Argentina community (PyAr), lasting several days which will bring
short courses and lectures related to this language that incipiently
makes its place among the developers.
We intended to make a space where anyone interested can come to ask,
learn and experiment with these tools.
This year, the event will be held at Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital
and one of the most important cities in Latin America.

PyCon UK 2012

[Michael Foord]

Hello All,

We're pleased to announce that the PyCon UK 2012 conference is open for 
bookings at http://pyconuk.org. The Early Bird rate is available until 12 
August, and there is a Concession rate available for Students, Nurses, and 
Unwaged right up to the conference date.

PyCon UK runs from 28th September to 1st October, with the core conference 
being 29th-30th September, and the venue is, as last year, the Coventry 
TechnoCentre, easily reached from any part of the country.

This year we're running sprints as an integral part of the conference, instead 
of being tacked on afterwards. Each sprint will have an Introductory talk on 
Friday 28th, then have sessions throughout the weekend, which you will be able 
to drop in to between any talks you can'r miss. For the sprint diehards, 
sessions will continue into Monday to wrap up any loose ends.

Hoping to see you there!

The PyCon UK team.

PyCon Australia 2012 Conference Programme Revealed!

[Chris Neugebauer]

(Hobart Tasmania, 15 June 2012) With both of our keynotes announced, PyCon
Australia is very proud to be able to reveal the programme for the 2012
conference, to be held on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 August 2012 in Hobart,
Tasmania.

Following an impressive response to our Call for Proposals the conference
will feature three full tracks of presentations and tutorials, across two
days, covering all aspects of the Python ecosystem, presented by experts
and core developers of key Python technology.

Our keynote presenters, Mark Ramm, Engineering Manager on Juju at Canonical
[1], and Kenneth Reitz, Python lead at Heroku [2] will be joined by a wide
array of presenters covering a broad range of backgrounds, including
industry, research, government and academia.

As ever, PyCon Australia is a great place to keep up-to-date with the
latest trends in Python web technology: From Heroku, Lincoln Stoll will be
presenting on the 12 Factor Method for building software-as-a-service apps
[3]. Other web related topics include deployment and testing techniques for
Django applications and techniques for asynchronous web programming.

There's also a wide range of talks for the rapidly growing community of
developers using Python in science. Edward Schofield's survey of the latest
developments in Python for Science and Engineering [4] will get you up to
scratch on what tools and techniques are shaping the Python world for
scientists. From there, case studies and introductory talks will delve into
all aspects of Python in science: including techniques for handling large
scientific data sets, natural language processing, and data visualisation
-- attendees working with Python in all fields of science will gain
something from PyCon Australia 2012.

Finally, for newcomers to Python looking to quickly enhance their Python
skillset, Graeme Cross' tutorials [5] in our Classroom stream will help you
to rapidly enhance your knowledge of Python -- you can then attend our
general stream talks to glean a snapshot of the state of the art in Python.

PyCon Australia 2012 programme committee chair, Richard Jones, was
impressed with the level of response to the Call for Proposals, which
closed in early May: We had an unprecedented response to our Call for
Proposals this year, and this has helped us to put together one of the
strongest programmes ever at PyCon Australia. There's something for every
developer working with Python in this year's programme -- be they working
in web technology, in research, or even if they're just a Python enthusiast
who wants to learn more about their favourite language.

The full schedule for PyCon Australia 2012 can be found at
http://2012.pycon-au.org/programme/schedule

Registrations for PyCon Australia 2012 are now open, with prices starting
at AU$44 for students, and tickets for the general public starting at
AU$198. All prices include GST, and more information can be found at
http://2012.pycon-au.org/register/prices

We're looking forward to seeing this excellent programme brought to life at
PyCon Australia 2012, in Hobart, in August.
