The period <span class="nfakPe">for</span> submitting tutorial
<span>proposals</span> <span class="nfakPe">for</span> Pycon 2009 (US) is open and will continue through Friday, October 31<sup>th</sup>. This year features two
"pre-conference" days devoted to <span class="nfakPe">tutorials</span> on Wednesday March 25
& Thursday March 26 in Chicago. This allows <span class="nfakPe">for</span> more classes
than ever.
<div><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="nfakPe">Tutorials</span> are 3-hours long on a
specific topic of your choice. Last year we featured classes on
Learning Python, Web Development, Scientific Computing, and many
more (there was particular interest in "Intermediate" level classes). Class size varied from 10 to over 60 students. The extended
time spent in class allows teachers to cover a lot of material while
allowing <span class="nfakPe">for</span> interaction with students.
