Call for Participation
PyCon DC 2004 Sprints
March 20-23, 2004
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/SprintPlan2004
The Python Software Foundation is sponsoring four days of sprints before
PyCon -- Saturday through Tuesday. We invite developers to attend the
sprints. We will provide space and network connectivity for developers
who want to work on open source projects.
A sprint is a two or three day focused development session, in which
developers pair in a room and focus on building a particular subsystem.
A sprint is organized with a coach leading the session. The coach sets
the agenda, tracks activities, and keeps the development moving. The
developers work in pairs using XP's pair programming approach.
We have several sprints already planned, including
- Docutils and reStructuredText
- Plone
- Twisted topics
- Zope 2 and Zope 3
- Python core development
If you are interested in participating in a sprint, please send mail to
the appropriate sprint coach or to me. Developers of all experience
levels are welcome. We are also looking for coaches for other sprints
topics; if you have an idea, post it in the Wiki or send me an email.
The PSF will waive PyCon registration fees for coaches of sprints with
at least two attendees.
Hope to see you there,
Jeremy Hylton
PyCon sprint chair

bird. :-) To register, visit:

PyCon is the most important conference in the year for me. It brings
together the largest group of Python users and developers imaginable.
I come to PyCon for many reasons: to meet with other core Python
developers face to face; to hear about the exciting things that users
from all over the world are doing with Python; to interact in person
with Python users of all types, from newbies to veterans of many
years; to hear everybody's feedback on where Python is and where
they'd like it to go; and perhaps most of all to continue to encourage
this wonderful community by my presence, words and actions to grow,
reach out to new users of all kinds, and keep listening to each other.
I hope everyone who comes to the conference will return from it with a
new or renewed feeling of excitement about Python, whether they are
developers, sophisticated users, beginners, or even skeptical
passers-by. The Python community includes everyone, from grade
schoolers just learning about computer science to renowned scientists
interested in using the best tools and business people looking for a
secret weapon.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all at PyCon!
Background
----------
PyCon is a community-oriented conference targeting developers (both those
using Python and those working on the Python project). It gives you
opportunities to learn about significant advances in the Python
development community, to participate in a programming sprint with some
of the leading minds in the Open Source community, and to meet fellow
developers from around the world. The organizers work to make the
conference affordable and accessible to all.
DC 2004 will be held March 24-26, 2004 in Washington, D.C. The keynote

We're starting the process of pulling PyCon sprints together, and we want
to know whether *you* are going to volunteer. The PSF is sponsoring the
sprints, so all registered PyCon attendees can work on sprints for free.

"The joy of coding Python should be in seeing short, concise, readable
classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code --
not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death." --GvR

Unfortunately this gave a too rose-colored view on the not-so-early
registration fees. The correct price schedule is:
- Early bird (through Feb 1) $175
- Normal reg (until March 17) $250 <-- correction!
- Walk-ins $300 <-- correction!

I urge everybody coming to the conference to register ASAP -- save
yourself or your employer $75!!! You have until February 1st.

This is the *last* reminder that the deadline for sending proposals
for presentations at PyCon DC 2004 is January 15, 2004. That's
upcoming Thursday!
I'm also reminding everybody, speakers and non-speakers, of the
upcoming deadline for Early Bird Registration: January 31. Until
then, the registration fee is $175 (student rate $125); after that
date, the registration price goes up to $250 (student rate $150).
Don't forget to register! (Sorry, there's no speakers discount.)
If you're coming to the conference, consider coming a few days early
and participate in a coding sprint. Sprints are free (courtesy of the
PSF!), and are held from Saturday March 20 through Tuesday March 23
(i.e. the four days leading up to the conference). For more info on
sprints, see http://pycon.org/dc2004 .
Now back to proposal submissions:
We are interested in any and all submissions about uses of Python and
the development of the language. Since there is expected to be a
strong educational community presence for the next PyCon, teaching
materials of various kinds are also encouraged.
You can submit your proposal at:
http://submit.pycon.org/
For more information about proposals, see:
http://www.pycon.org/dc2004/cfp/
If you have further questions about the submission web interface or
the format of submissions, please write to:
pycon-organizers(a)python.org
We would like to publish all accepted papers on the web. If your
paper is accepted and you prepare an electronic presentation (in PDF,
PythonPoint or PowerPoint) we will also happily publish that on the
web site once PyCon is over.
If you don't want to make a formal presentation, there will be a
significant amount of Open Space to allow for informal and
spur-of-the-moment presentations for which no formal submission is
required. There will also be several Lightning Talk sessions (five
minutes or less).
