Azithromycin may also be given by injection to treat severe pneumonia or pelvic inflammatory disease as it is said on buying cheap zithromax page<http://www.cheapgenerictabs.com/buyzithromax.htm> or 2 x 500mg capsules. This is a one time treatment!

Have Your City Host PyCon 2010!
by Ted Pollari 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

The PyCon organizers are excited to announce the start of the PyCon 2010 planning process! Even more importantly, we're looking for motivated local groups to spearhead this volunteer-run, community-based conference. In years past, the locale for the next year was arranged about a year in advance. That worked while we were a smaller conference with many venues to choose from. PyCon 2008, to be held soon in the Chicago area, has over 950 registered attendees at this time. That is over one and a half times the number of attendees from just the year before! We're excited to see PyCon grow, but it also means that how we plan PyCon needs to change just a little bit. The first change is a change in the timeline. Starting with PyCon 2010, we're aiming to begin planning two years ahead. To help us do that, PyCon 2009 will also be held in the Chicago area, at the same venue as 2008. The second change is that the bid process will not be as detail-heavy and will not demand as much initial work by local groups. Instead, we're focusing on the heart and soul of PyCon: the community of volunteers -- we're looking to find excited and committed groups who want to be the backbone of PyCon 2010. The details will be worked out in a collaborative process, with local groups working in conjunction the volunteer PyCon organizers and the Python Software Foundation's Conference Committee. Still interested? Curious? Do you want PyCon 2010 hosted in your area? Here's what to do: • Form a group of people interested in helping with the conference planning. • If you're attending PyCon 2008, join us for a kick-off meeting over lunch on Saturday, March 15th. • Make sure at least one person from your group is on the PyCon organizer's list[1] and, as soon as possible, announce your interest in submitting a bid on the list. This process should be viewed as cooperative -- we're here to help and encourage any group that wants to take on hosting PyCon. • Finally, assemble your official bid, referring to the PyCon Bid Guidelines [2] for information and deadlines and submit it to the PyCon organizer's list before the deadline listed in the PyCon Bid Guidelines. Posting your bid to a publicly viewable website wouldn't be a bad idea either... If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to email the organizer's list and ask away!

Last chance for PyCon talk & tutorial proposals!
by David Goodger 16 Nov '07

16 Nov '07

Thanks to all the proposal authors so far, we have received lots of proposals for PyCon talks & tutorials. But we'd like to have even more. Alas, the proposal submission deadline should have been set after a weekend, not before. So we have decided to extend the proposal submission deadline to Monday, November 19 at midnight (Chicago time). This gives you a *whole extra weekend* to write up your talk and tutorial ideas! If you've been procrastinating, stop! Get started on a proposal instead! See the call for conference talk proposals: http://us.pycon.org/2008/conference/proposals/ Topic ideas: http://wiki.python.org/moin/Talk_Subjects http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyCon2007/Feedback#head-e2dca74d1492e49fae11550… See the call for tutorial proposals http://us.pycon.org/2008/tutorials/proposals/ Topic ideas from the PyCon 2007 feedback: http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyCon2007/Feedback/TutorialIdeas I hope to see (and hear) you at PyCon 2008! http://us.pycon.org -- David Goodger, PyCon 2008 Chair

The PyCon 2008 Program Committee needs your help
by Douglas Napoleone 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

All, Ivan and I were chatting tonight and we are both concerned that we have not received enough proposals. We will get more over the week, but it will be quite shy of what we would like to see for the friday deadline. I believe the primary reason for this is a lack of advertising. We need your help to get the word out. Blogs/PodCasts: If you have a blog or poscast, please post about the deadline. If you have given a talk in the past, please post about the experience. IRC: I have started making regular announcements in the following irc channels on freenode.net: python django turbogears plone What others should be included? Anyone can make announcements in these channels, the more the better. Mailing lists/user groups: If you are a user group member, please get the word out, and consider having a group meeting dedicated to practice talks. We should make a list of mailing lists and make posts (python-users, django-users, etc.) Local Schools: For those in the Chicago area, please try to contact professors at local colleges and institutions. Undergrads, Grads, and especially Doctorate students are a prime source of interesting presentations. Focusing on local schools has a greater ROE, as students do not have much cash for travel. Anything else you can think of. We need to do a grass roots blitz to get the word out to the greater community. Anything you can do to help will be greatly appreciated. It does not take any special knowledge or skills to give a presentation. Even the most basic users can present on something, and we like these types of beginner proposals. The call for proposals contains more details: http://us.pycon.org/2008/conference/proposals/ -Doug Napoleone

PyCon 2008: Call for Talk & Tutorial Proposals
by David Goodger 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

Proposals for PyCon 2008 talks & tutorials are now being accepted. The deadline for proposals is November 16. PyCon 2008 will be held in Chicago, Illinois, USA, from March 13-20. http://us.pycon.org/2008/ Tutorial Day: Half-Day Tutorials ================================ Do you enjoy teaching classes or tutorials? Are you good at it? PyCon is looking for proposals for tutorials. The PyCon Tutorial Day will be March 13, 2008 (Thursday). There will be morning and afternoon tutorial sessions (3 hours each, plus a 30-minute break); presenters may request two sessions in order to make up a full day. Tutorials may be on any topic, but obviously should be instructional in nature. Full details and instructions here: http://us.pycon.org/2008/tutorials/proposals/ Conference Days: Scheduled Talks ================================ Want to share your experience and expertise? PyCon is looking for proposals to fill the formal presentation tracks. The PyCon Conference Days will be March 14-16, 2008 (Friday-Sunday). Previous PyCon conferences have had a broad range of presentations, ranging from reports on academic and commercial projects to tutorials and case studies. We hope to continue that tradition this year. As long as the presentation is interesting and potentially useful to the Python community, it will be considered for inclusion in the program. We're especially interested in short tutorial presentations that will teach conference-goers something new and useful. Can you show attendees how to: use a module? explore a Python language feature? package an application? Full details and instructions here: http://us.pycon.org/2008/conference/proposals/ Development Sprints =================== Four days of development sprints will follow the conference days, March 17-20 (Monday-Thursday). Start thinking about sprints you'd like to lead or join. We'll have an announcement about these soon! http://us.pycon.org/2008/sprints/ Lightning Talks & Open Space ============================ If you don't want to make a formal presentation, you can still bring your new project or idea to PyCon. There will be several sessions of Lightning Talks (five minute mini-talks, scheduled at the conference). http://us.pycon.org/2008/conference/lightning There will also be several Open Space rooms for informal and spur-of-the-moment presentations. Open Space slots are allocated during PyCon on a first-come first-served basis. These slots can be used for presentations, round table discussions, hands-on tutorials, follow-up discussions after scheduled talks, or anything else you wish to present. http://us.pycon.org/2008/conference/openspace/ Help Out! ========= PyCon 2008 planning is in full swing, but we can still use more help, *your* help! http://us.pycon.org/2008/helping/

Pycon-Tech IRC meeting tomorrow, Oct 16th. 2pm EST (#pycon@freenode.net)
by Douglas Napoleone 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

Sorry for the short notice, There will be a PyCon-Tech meeting tomorrow at 2pm EST, held on IRC in the #pycon channel on freenode.net. The proposal system is now live, and it is time to shift focus to other areas of the conference software. The agenda is here: https://pycon.coderanger.net/wiki/Meetings The Agenda for those like me who hate leaving a perfectly good e-mail client: 1. revamp the roadmap dates/times due to the late proposal start This includes getting fixed times for the registration system. https://pycon.coderanger.net/roadmap 2. go over the work left on the proposal system: https://pycon.coderanger.net/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopen… 3. Flesh out the social network ideas: What social networks should we be integrating with? How? what are the benefits? A wiki page on the subject has been started here: https://pycon.coderanger.net/wiki/PyCon08/SocialNetworks 4. The site is still missing lots of content: https://pycon.coderanger.net/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopen… -Doug Napoleone
