Hi everyone. I'm pleased to announce that we are now accepting proposals for both regular and virtual posters for PyCon 2010 in Atlanta. For full details and to submit a poster or virtual poster, please visit http://us.pycon.org/2010/conference/posters/ This will be a first time for poster sessions at this conference, with the idea largely arising from discussions that Steve Holden, Kirby and I had after last year's PyCon. Fortunately the PyCon organizers rather quickly decided that posters would add a valuable dimension to the conference's perennial theme "Connecting the Community" and we have strong support. Among other things, posters will be a great way for educators and their students to get their feet wet with a less formal and more interactive PyCon presentation, and to share and get recognition for the work they are doing with Python. If someone can't make it to the conference, we are also offering the chance to present a "virtual" poster, a recorded video of their poster presentation. Virtual posters will be played in rotation on a monitor during the conference posters sessions (assuming resources are available), and will be archived as part of the PyCon video stream. So spread the word - all levels of the Python in/and/about/with Education communities (in fact, ALL Python communities!) are invited to submit. Oh, yeah, if you have any questions or find any errors in the poster session pages, please let me know. A bigger poster push will come with the announcement of the regular talk decisions, so here's your chance to get on board early. ;) Cheers, Vern Ceder, PyCon Poster Session Coordinator -- This time for sure! -Bullwinkle J.
