PyOhio: Call for Proposals
PyOhio 2009, the second annual Python programming mini-conference for Ohio and surrounding areas, will take place Saturday-Sunday, July 25-26, 2009 at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. A variety of activities are planned, including scheduled talks, Lightning Talks, and Open Spaces.
PyOhio invites all interested people to submit proposals for scheduled talks. PyOhio will accept abstracts on any topics of interest to Python programmers.
Standard presentations are expected to last 40 minutes with a 10 minute question-and-answer period. Other talk formats will also be considered, however; please indicate your preferred format in your proposal. Hands-on tutorial sessions are also welcomed.
PyOhio is especially interested in hosting a Beginners' Track for those new to Python or new to programming in general. If your proposal would be suitable for inclusion in the Beginners' Track, please indicate so. Organizers will work with speakers in the Beginners' Track to help them coordinate their talks/tutorials into a smooth, coherent learning curve for new Python users.
All presentations proposals should submit abstracts no longer than 500 words in length. Abstracts must include the title, summary of the presentation, the expertise level targeted, and a brief description of the area of Python programming it relates to.
All proposals should be emailed to <cfp@pyohio.org> for review. Please submit proposals by May 10, 2009. Accepted speakers will be notified by June 1.
