Hello web2pyers, During PyCon Brazil I talked to some people from Brasilian community (@viniciusban and people at X4 agency) about a possible web2py conference happening here in Brazil. After that I had the opportunity to speak personally with Massimo about this subject and then he suggested we do a *global event*!
*"Web2py World Conference 2013"* *Idea:* Between February and April 2013 we will have a world conference to be held simultaneously in various locations around the world where there is at least 2+ members of the web2py framework community. This conference will be organized by local volunteers and should happen at a physical location, auditorium, classrooms, public space, coworking or other place that can house an event. The target audience of the conference will be users of other languages and platforms and people starting up in the world of web development. We will have an official website (maybe web2py.com/conference) where the proposals will be sent to lectures, case studies and tutorials. The only requirement is that the event occurs in a pattern of organization and that *all activities needs to be recorded*! The activities may optionally be transmitted online, but what we want is to have actually a*compilation of all the videos to be subtitled in several languages and be available for all community web2py*. *How to help?* We need volunteers for the following activities: 1. Be responsible for the organization in your country / city (can be done in groups) 2. Provide physical space and basic structure for the event 3. (Local physical, chairs, projector, microphones etc.) 4. Capture, burn (stream optionally) the videos of the conference 5. Put subtitles in videos (post conference) 6. Advertise in email lists and social networks 7. Invite other programming communities 8. Help with sponsorship (for generous people, rich people, facebook employees and companies) I believe we have a large number of users in places like USA, Argentina, China, India, Brazil, Portugal and others (put your country here). (For Brazil we already have a team and maybe it will be held at São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro!) If you want to collaborate with ideas or taking one of the tasks mentioned above please join us at the group created to organize this event.
