            <div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Since Python is part of
                a larger Open Source ecosystem, many talks focus on how
                to use various Python-based open source libraries to
                achieve something useful. We are also interested in how
                people are using Python, even in closed source
                environments, if they are in an interesting problem
                space, solving some unique challenges, or in other ways
                providing helpful technical content relevant beyond a
                specific product. Talks about using Python APIs to major
                commercial web services are also welcome, particularly
                if individual developers can easily experiment with the
                services and some technical insight into the
                APIs/services is provided.</span></div>
