It's that time once again: time to start planning for the 2016 Python Language Summit! This year the summit will be at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon, USA, on May 28th.
Thanks for chairing this again!
Sadly, again this year Michael Foord won't be in attendance.
:(
Second: we're using a Google Form to collect signups. This one form lets you request an invitation to the summit, and also optionally propose a talk.
In case folks are taking requests, I'd love to hear about:
- status report on core workflow improvements
- how typing has been received and what's next (e.g. more integration into the compiler, multiple dispatch)
- Python in the embedded/-ish space (e.g. MicroPython, BBC MicroBit, RaspberryPi, android, iOS, ARM)
- status of alternate implementations and tool chains:
- pyjion
- pyston
- pypy
- jython
- ironpython
- cython
- numba
- others?
FWIW, I've offered to present the following (as a last resort <wink>):
- about C OrderedDict
- about my Multi-core Python project
- the successor to PEP 406 ("Improved Encapsulation of Import State")
