= Pycon India 2010 – Call for Proposals =

PyCon India is the first and only conference of its kind organized in India for Python programming language enthusiasts from all over the country. PyCon India is being held in Bangalore, India for the 2nd time from Sep 25-26, 2010 at MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore.

Pycon India 2010 organizers are looking for talk proposals to fill the formal presentation tracks. We accept proposals related to a very broad range of topics related to Python programming.

You might be a software developer who has written or worked in an interesting Python project, a young programmer just out of college exploring Python, or an academic who wants to discuss how he used Python to solve problems in a research project, or a hobbyist who has explored different Python packaging options – in short anyone who is passionate about Python and has spend some time on it. As long as the proposal is interesting and has something potentially useful for the Python community, we will consider it for inclusion in the conference.

Please follow the instructions below carefully before preparing a proposal and submitting it.
 
== Important Dates ==
 * Call for proposals opens: June 10, 2010
 * Proposal submission deadline: July 31, 2010
 * Proposal acceptance: August 15, 2010
 * Final presentation upload to Pycon India website: August 31, 2010
 
== Permission to record/release presentations ==

In Pycon India, we intend to record all presentations live and release the recordings for free on the Internet so as to benefit the wider Python community. When you are submitting a proposal, you automatically give the Indian Python Software Society, the organizers of Pycon India, the permissions to record/edit and release the audio/video of your presentation.

No exceptions will be made in this regard. If you don't want a recording of your presentation to be made, don't submit a proposal.

== Topics for Pycon India ==

Topics for presentations for Pycon India include but is not limited to,

 
 * Core Python (including Python 3.x)
 * Python standard library
 * Other Python libraries and extensions
 * Other Python implementations (such as PyPy, IronPython etc)
 * Concurrency
 * Databases
 * Scientific Programming
 * Network programming
 * Game programming
 * Education and Training
 * Embedding/extending
 * GUI programming
 * Packaging Python Code
 * System administration
 * Business applications
 * Documentation
 * Software development tools
 * Testing
 * Web programming
 * Open source Python projects
 
You can get more ideas from the wiki page at http://wiki.python.org/moin/Talk_Subjects .

== Talk Format ==

The typical length of a talk should be no more than 45 minutes. The presentation style should be concise, to the point with sufficient examples to clarify the discussion to the audience, if needed.

You can also opt for a talk which is 30 minutes long. Such talks should typically discuss how to do a certain thing related to Python in a concise way.

The talk length includes the time for audience interaction implicitly. You should prepare your talks so as to leave at least 5 mins room at the end for taking audience questions.

== Proposal submission format ==

A talk proposal should include the following.

 1. Talk title
 1. Duration : If you are giving a short 30 minutes talk, mention 30, otherwise mention 45.
 1. Category Indicators : Please indicate at least two or more of any of these category indicators.
 1. Level – Indicate the level of Python knowledge of the intended audience namely Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced. If any specific knowledge or skills are required or beneficial (such as say “exposure to netowork programming”) indicate that.
 1. Summary – A brief summary of the talk in no more than 100 words.
 1. Description:
 1. Detailed outline for the reviewers
 1. Notes for reviewers, if any.
