PyOhio Call For Proposals 2010

PyOhio 2010, the third annual Python programming conference for Ohio and the surrounding region, will take place Saturday-Sunday, July 31-Aug 1, 2010 at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. A variety of activities are planned, including tutorials, scheduled talks, Lightning Talks, Open Spaces and Sprints.

PyOhio invites all interested people to submit proposals for scheduled talks, tutorials, and panels. All topics of interest to Python programmers will be considered. Standard presentation slots will be 40 minutes plus a 10 minute question-and-answer period.

PyOhio is especially interested in hosting a Beginner's Track for those new to Python or new to programming in general. If your proposal would be suitable for inclusion in a Beginner's Track, please indicate so. Organizers will work with speakers and instructors in the Beginner's Track to help them coordinate their talks/tutorials into a smooth, coherent learning curve for new Python users.

To ensure that you provide all necessary information, please use the submission template provided below. If organizing a panel, please confirm all panelists' intention to participate before submitting your proposal.

PyOhio may record presentations for later release over the web. Presenters will need to sign a release of recording rights to PyOhio; see http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyOhio/RecordingRelease

All proposals should be emailed to cfp@pyohio.org for review. Please submit proposals by May 10, 2010. Accepted speakers will be notified by May 24.

You can read more about the conference at http://pyohio.org. If you have questions about proposals, please email cfp@pyohio.org. You can also contact the PyOhio organizers at pyohio-organizers@python.org.

Description

Here, give a description of your event's topic, suitable for printing in the PyOhio event booklet. Aim for 150 words or less. It should help attendees decide whether the event is right for them.

Extended description

Here, give more details to help the program committee evaluate your proposal. This will not be published in the program guide. Include anything that will help the committee understand your proposal.

If you are requesting a slot different from the standard 40 + 10 minutes, explain what you require and why.

Outline

Outline the overall structure for your talk. This portion will not be included in the program guide, but will be used by the program committee; a good outline shows that you have begun well-organized preparation. Panel proposals don't need outlines, since they are fundamentally unpredictable.

  1. Cats

    1. Small carnivores
    2. Dangers

      1. Tripping hazard
      2. Bite toes
  2. Dogs

(etc...)

A brief biography of you and/or the panelists, for publication in the program guide: anything about you that you'd like attendees to know. 100 words or less, or 200 for panels with multiple panelists.

Recording release

I will sign the recording release agreement (text at http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyOhio/RecordingRelease).
