Getting PyCon ZA off the ground
by Neil Muller April 10, 2012

April 10, 2012

We need to settle on the date real soon now. The 4th & 5th October option looks good to me, so I think we should commit to that date and start planning from there. We also need some rough numbers for rates we're going to charge attendees, and number of people we'd like to see to work with. From the academic side, I'd like to see the rates kept as low as possible - this isn't going to be a peer reviewed conference [1], so people aren't going to be nearly as willing to spend money to send students to it, and most of the interesting scientific python work locally is being done by the students. [1] Given the time-frame, I doubt anything more than a minimal abstract submission with review is workable. -- Neil Muller drnlmuller(a)gmail.com I've got a gmail account. Why haven't I become cool?

The Django app used to run PyCon US is available on GitHub: https://github.com/pinax/symposion We could potentially use this as a starting point for the PyCon ZA website. Schiavo Simon
