From ylarrivee at confoo.ca Thu Sep 6 17:12:42 2012 From: ylarrivee at confoo.ca (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Yann_Larriv=E9e?=) Date: Thu, 06 Sep 2012 11:12:42 -0400 Subject: [Conferences] ConFoo 2013: Call for Papers is Now Open! Message-ID: <5048BD6A.3090807@confoo.ca> Hello, ConFoo is one of the most important web developer oriented conferences and they are looking for the best Python speakers who are willing to share their knowledge with the Canadian Community. ConFoo 2013 will be held on February 25 through March 1 in Montreal, Canada. The team just opened its call for papers. Candidates can submit proposals until September 23. Consult the call for papers page for details and to start submitting. That page also explains what expenses ConFoo can cover for speakers. You can also get advice on how to write proposals. The call for papers is public, meaning that all proposals get published on the website for others to vote and comment on. This approach allows the organizers to pick subjects that have most interest in the community. The comments are only visible to speakers and organizers to avoid influencing the votes. Submit your talks by September 23rd. For more information, visit http://confoo.ca/en/call-for-papers or follow us on twitter @confooca. We are looking forward to read your proposals. -- Yann Larriv?e 1-888-392-0909 ext 101 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
