[SLUG] PyCon Australia CFP: One Day Left!

[Richard Jones]

The Call For Proposals for PyCon Australia 2010 FINISHES TOMORROW!

Presentation subjects may range from reports on open source,
academic and commercial projects to tutorials and case studies.
As long as a presentation is interesting and potentially useful
to the Python community, it will be considered for inclusion in
the program.

We're especially interested in short presentations that will teach
conference-goers something new and useful. Can you show attendees
how to use a module? Explore a Python language feature? Package
an application?

Submit your proposal here: http://pycon-au.org/cfp

As always, please pass this message on to people you feel will find it
interesting.
