I've been talking to Steve Holden about my interest in organizing a "Python in Education" track at next years PyCon. The message below just appeared on the pycon-organizers list, so I thought I would pass it along here and ask you all if you are thinking about attending PyCon next year and if you would be interested in a Python in Education track.
I would hope to be there and - inspired by Kirby's talk - hope to submit a proposal for a PyGeo presentation.
Cool! I would love to attend.
It would be nice to have a Python in Education track, if enough interest can be generated.
I think it can.
To do so, it would be important, IMO, to make sure the community sees the track defined as broadly as possible.
Any levelof education.
Any degree of esoterica.
As intimidating as the possiblity of having to follow a PyGeo presentation miught be ;) -
I would guess there would be a good number of proposals for presentations.
I don't know how the process works. I was only trying to figure out at this stage if it was worth moving forward with it. It seems that it is.
Can it go forward tentatively - final determination made after assessing whether the proposal submissions justify a separate track?
Well, it *is* going forward tentatively. In fact, I haven't even brought this up with the conference organizors yet (aside from Steve Holden). I wanted to see if there was any interest before going any further with it. I figured this list was as good a place as any to start. I've received three replys already, so I'm feeling pretty encouraged ;-) jeff elkner open book project at ibiblio http://ibiblio.org/obp
