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 2019 will take place on the 10th & 11th of October at The Wanders Club in Illovo, Johannesburg, South Africa (location link: https://www.thewanderersclub.co.za/contact/). There will also be tutorial sessions the day before the conference (the 9th) and we will hold sprints on the 12th & 13th 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: Data Science, Teaching and Learning with Python, Web, Scientific Computing, Testing and Other (which includes all talks that don't fall under the mentioned tracks). We hope to notify accepted presenters by no later than the 31st of August 2019. 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. PyCon ZA offers limited financial assistance for attendees. To apply for assitance, please follow the instructions at https://za.pycon.org/tickets/financial-aid/ . Requests for assistance will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. -- Neil Muller drnlmuller at gmail.com I've got a gmail account. Why haven't I become cool?
