PyCon has grown tremendously over the last few years; this year we received over 140 proposals, and had space in the schedule for less than half. A number of excellent proposals had to be cut. We do want you to know that PyCon will feature a number of Open Space sessions that are not part of the formal presentation schedule. Please consider presenting your talk as an Open Space presentation, or as a five-minute lightning talk. Thank you for your effort in submitting a proposal, and we hope you will still join us in Chicago! We are attaching the program committee's reviews of your proposal below; they are also visible to authors on the PyCon website. Finally, we want to hear your thoughts on this year's online proposal system and submission process. What went well? What could've been better? Please take a moment to provide feedback: < http://us.pycon.org/2008/survey/propmgr/ > Alternatively, you may provide comments in reply to this e-mail. Sincerely, Ivan KrstiÄ <ivan@laptop.org>, program committee chair, PyCon 2008 David Goodger <goodger@python.org>, conference chair, PyCon 2008 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proposal: < http://us.pycon.org/2008/conference/proposals/81/ > Reviewer #73: +1 PyPy talks at PyCon have not been represented well so far. This talk has the potential to clarify a lot of the mystery which many people still associate with the PyPy project. ................................................................................ Reviewer #4: +0 PyPy is interesting. My concern (and thus +0) is that it is too big for a 30 min talk. The 30 min limit needs to be taken into consideration when planning the timed outline. ................................................................................ Reviewer #76: +0 I think this could be a good talk. It's an interesting project, but it seems like it would have a somewhat limited audience. The author mentions demos, which will be important to make things concrete. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have received this e-mail because you are participating in PyCon 2008.

Hi Laura, all, I know many of you don't know me (however, I was surprised to see my full name in the last PyPy PyCon talk I was at; I figured ya'll would have ditched my parser by then), but I've been working on Python language evolution and extensibility as well. Language implementation and features don't usually fly so well at PyCon (though, they seem to love hosting simple parser generator talks, oddly enough). Perhaps we can grab some open space for a BoF, where we can team up to provide back to back language implementation talks (mine didn't make it in either) and possibly sync up. I'm currently local to Chicago, so I'm pretty sure I can be around to help make this happen. If anyone is interested, here are some slides from a talk I gave at the University of Chicago on 11/17: http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~jriehl/MythonTalk.pdf Regards (and sympathies), -Jon On Dec 11, 2007 4:48 AM, Laura Creighton <lac@openend.se> wrote:
