PyOhio 2010: Call for Proposals

PyOhio 2010, the second annual Python programming mini-conference for Ohio and surrounding areas, 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, and Open Spaces.

PyOhio invites all interested people to submit proposals for scheduled talks and tutorials. 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 event formats are also welcome; please describe the details including the length of time requested. Possible event types include

  • Hands-on tutorials
  • Panel discussions: list panel moderator, members, and expected topics

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 a Beginners' Track, please indicate so. Organizers will work with speakers and instructors in the Beginners' Track to help them coordinate their talks/tutorials into a smooth, coherent learning curve for new Python users.

All proposals should include 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 1, 2010. Accepted speakers will be notified by June 1.
