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><div><br></div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">People are coming to these meetings on their personal time and are looking for help in their day-to-day jobs, career growth, or personal enrichment. As such, purely commercial talks given by someone in sales or product management are generally not appropriate for BayPiggies. For grey areas, we will raise the talk subject on the BayPiggies mailing list to gauge the level of interest.<br><br></span></blockquote><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></blockquote><span style="font-size:12.8px">Let me know if you have any suggested edits. If this works for everyone, I will use this as a guideline when interacting with potential speakers. There's a specific talk I have in mind - I can show this to the proposed speakers and ask them how they will fit in with our guidelines.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Thanks!</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"> - Jeff</span></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div></div></div>
