The timetable should probably include this information somewhere. AFAIR, the talk registration didn't have this information either (or I just missed it). The duration does have some importance when writing the talk ;-) >> I'd also like to suggest that some of the day 2 talks be moved >> to day 1 - day 2 appears packed with talks, whereas day 1 sometimes >> has two Open Space sessions in parallel. >> >> > I agree that it does look a bit weird but it was done on purpose - we > are having discussions > with last minute interesting speakers and wanted to have spare room to > add them. > > We will make an update to the schedule during the upcoming week > hopefully and will take this into account.

I've done these a couple of times already, but the topics are popular: "Designing Unicode-aware Applications in Python" Present ways of designing Python applications to be Unicode-aware from ground up; issues with auto-conversion, detection of character sets, ways to deal with storage of Unicode data (in databases, text files, spreadsheets, etc.); present the idea of an online translation manager that collects string to be translated and provides ways to have them translated to various languages Around 45 minutes with discussions. "Developing large-scale applications in Python" Python is used as scripting or glueing language in many different areas. It's usefulness as main implementation language for large-scale applications is often underestimated. The talk will demonstrate that Python is in fact an ideal basis for developing complete applications - regardless of the size of the project or its complexity. Around 60 minutes with discussions.
