[PyCon Tre Italy] CFP reminder - 5 days to deadline
The CFP deadline is approaching and is now only 5 days away, if you plan to come and would like to give a speech don't wait any longer! ---- For the third year Florence will be hosting the italian edition of PyCon starting from May 8th till May 10th. Unfortunately this year we are a little late in publishing the english version of our CFP. But here we are now. As with last year's edition we will provide real time english-italian and italian-english translation for the main track of the conference and this year's special guest will be none other than Guido himself. Registrations are already open at: http://www.pycon.it/pycon3/registrazione/ where you'll be able to find further information on tickets prices. Conference information is available at our site http://www.pycon.it . The most important deadlines besides those in this CFP are: 13th Apr, End of the Early Bird 4th May, End of Late registrations period. Sponsorships packages are available at this url: http://www.pycon.it/pycon3/sponsorship/ For sponsorship requests contact us at: sponsor@pycon.it Here the CFP: Presentations ------ The conference is composed of three parallel tracks: * the *Discovering Python* track will primarily focus on introductory topics about Python libraries, frameworks and technologies; * the *Spreading Python* track will focus both on advanced technical topics and related matters like development methodologies, real-world use cases and management techniques; * the *Learning Python* track will feature a continuous interaction between the speaker and the audience: the speaker will propose a topic and introduce a possible solution, then the talk will dynamically evolve, naturally following questions and notes from the audience. Talks could focus on the following topics (the list is neither exclusive nor exaustive): * vast and/or distributed applications written in Python; * scientific and computationally intensive applications; * interaction with other languages/environments, RPC, services; * web programming and web frameworks; * desktop programming and GUI toolkits; * Python as "scripting" language (system administration, COM, etc...); * Python and databases; * Python as an educational language; Each talk will have one of the following duration: 45, 60 or 90 approximately, inclusive of the time for the audience to enter and leave the room. Please specify which length best fit your contents: some flexibility is available to arrive at the best overall scheduling. ### Community voting Differently from last year, this year the talks' selection process is public: all those who will have bought a ticket no later than March 15 will be able to vote and select the best talk proposals. You can already register at http://www.pycon.it/pycon3/assopy/ to obtain the right to vote. ### How to submit a paper Your talk proposal must be submitted online through Assopy, as soon as it is enabled, by following some simple instructions at http://www.pycon.it/pycon3/assopy/ . ### When, How, and What to submit As a talk proposal, you should just send an abstract with a few text paragraphs about the talk. The evaluation will be easier if you send a detailed description. Once your talk proposal is approved, you'll have to submit the talk slides in PDF format, a few days before the conference opening day. More specific instructions will be available soon. ### A note for non-Italian speakers We warmly welcome and encourage the presence of non-Italian speakers at PyCon Italia. Most talks will be in Italian, though. As last year, we are planning to provide Italian-to-English realtime translation for our guests. We are also like to provide, again, English-to-Italian realtime translation for that part of the audience which is not much familiar with English. **Additional info:** for any questions, please contact us at info@pycon.it . ### Important deadlines - March 15th, 2009: Deadline for submitting the talk abstracts for evaluation. - March 29th, 2009: Acknowledge of the talk acceptance, - March 30th, 2009: the talk schedule is published. - May 1, 2009: Deadline for submitting the complete talk slides.
