While we've already received several great talk proposals, we still have a number of open talk slots and are thus keen to see further talk submissions. PyCon ZA 2018 will take place on the 11th & 12th of October at The Birchwood Hotel & Conference Centre, in Boksburg North, Johannesburg, South Africa (location link: https://goo.gl/maps/XMtwhJCKVt92 ). There will also be tutorial sessions the day before the conference (the 10th) and we will hold sprints on the 13th & 14th of October. We are currently accepting proposals for talks. If you would like to give a presentation, please register at https://za.pycon.org/ and submit your proposal, following the instructions at https://za.pycon.org/talks/submit-talk . We have a number of tracks available, including: Web, Scientific-Computing/PyData, Testing and Other (which includes all talks that don't fall under the mentioned tracks). Talk submissions close io the 31st of August 2018, ad we hope to inform speakers by the second week of September. If you need an earlier decision for travel planning, please add a note with your deadline to your submission. The presentation slots will be 30 minutes long, with an additional 10 minutes for discussion at the end. Shared sessions are also possible. The presentations will be in English. PyCon ZA offers a mentorship program for inexperienced speakers. If you would like assistance preparing your submission, email team at za.pycon.org with a rough draft of your talk proposal and we'll find a suitable experienced speaker to act as a mentor. In addition to talks, we are also looking for proposals for tutorials, demos, sprints and open spaces. Tutorials will be held before the conference and are expected to provided in-depth coverage of a topic. The number of attendees will be also be limited. We are accepting proposals for either half day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) tutorials. The deadline for tutorial submissions is the 27th of July 2018, and we'll inform people of our decision in early August. Demos are cool things for attendees to see and interact with. Open spaces are open discussion forums where communities with a common interest gather to present views, ask questions and meet people interested in the topic. Sprints are coding efforts and hack days that happen after the conference. There is no need to register a sprint or open space topic upfront, but doing so allows us to advertise them during the conference. Limited financial assistance for attendees is available. See https://za.pycon.org/financial-aid/ for details on how to apply. Each submission will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. -- Neil Muller On behalf of the PyCon ZA organising committee From denis.kalanov at gmail.com Tue Jul 24 10:00:53 2018 From: denis.kalanov at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?B?SVQtZG9taW5hbnRhLCDQlNC10L3QuNGB?=) Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2018 17:00:53 +0300 Subject: [Conferences] Conference PiterPy #5 / 2018 November 2-3 Message-ID: *Hello, My name is Denis Kalanov, I am one of the organizers of the most heartwarming Python conference in Russia ?PiterPy?.
