Hi everyone, The deadline for poster proposals for PyCon 2011 is fast approaching. While we actually do have some education themed posters this year, I wanted to make sure that everyone here on edu-sig got one final reminder. Below is the announcement that will be making the rounds shortly, but seeing where my loyalties lie, you all get it first! ;) If you want to get the word out about a project or share some of your Pythonic research and innovation in a poster, let me invite you to put in your proposal now - spots are limited and posters are being approved on a rolling basis as submitted. If you want to submit a poster, please check out the CFP at http://us.pycon.org/2011/speaker/posters/cfp/. If you have any questions don't hesitate to email me directly at vceder <AT> gmail.com. You may want to keep in mind the following: 1. a poster is a very different medium than a talk. You have 4x4 feet of space to present your topic with text and graphics. Since viewers will usually be at least 6-10 feet away from your poster, a bunch of slides or dense text will make a poor poster. 2. successful posters generate more personal conversations between the presenter and the attendees viewing the poster. Poster proposals are being evaluated and accepted on a rolling basis until January 19 or the 35 available slots are taken, so it's very much a "first come first served, supplies are limited" situation.
