Hello, I'm the coordinator of the poster session for the national Python programmers conference in Atlanta, Feb 19-21 2010, and a long-time lurker on this list. I'm writing to invite anyone with a Pythonic topic to submit a poster proposal and to come to PyCon if you can, or to submit a virtual poster, if you can't make it to Atlanta.
Poster sessions are new to us, and we're hoping they will offer more people a chance to present on a more diverse array of topics. We're also looking for virtual posters (5 min videos), particularly from the education community, both students and teachers. For more information about the poster session visit http://us.pycon.org/2010/conference/posters/ and for the conference in general (including registration fees, lodging, etc) go to http://us.pycon.org/2010/conference/posters/ The official deadline for poster submissions is the end of the month, but the proposal process is a very simple one, only requiring a few paragraphs of description. In addition, it's possible that we will be accepting poster proposals after that date on a "space available" basis. Also, the virtual poster deadline is considerably later. I'm sorry I didn't get this to the Sugar community sooner - I had assumed, since the Python and Sugar communities overlap a bit, that you probably were aware of what was happening with PyCon, but I now realize that I was probably assuming too much. In any case, I think that both communities might benefit from some Sugar related posters or virtual posters, so I hope that someone will come up with something. I should also mention that there is some financial aid is available to attend PyCon - please check http://us.pycon.org/2010/registration/financial-aid/ for more information. So please share this with developers, colleagues and students, and if you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks, Vern Ceder, Poster Session Coordinator, PyCon 2010 -- This time for sure! -Bullwinkle J.
