PyTexas 2011 Call for Proposals

[Brad Allen]

PyTexas 2011, the fourth annual Python programming conference for
Texas and the surrounding region, will take place Saturday September
10 and Sunday September 11, 2011 at Texas A&M University in College
Station, Texas.

Last year with 94 attendees, PyTexas 2010 reached critical mass to
achieve an exciting event akin to a small taste of PyCon, and this
year we're want to further boost participation and sponsor support. In
order to succeed, we need you to step forward and commit to giving a
presentation, a tutorial, or perhaps organize a panel discussion...go
ahead and propose your idea, whether serious or silly, we want to
consider it.

We are also looking for proposals for keynote speakers, and are
working toward obtaining sponsor pledges to bring in funding to pay
travel expenses for speakers willing to travel. If you are outside the
Texas area, and want to give a presentation, please contact me to
discuss reimbursement options.

PyTexas is especially interested in hosting a Beginner's Track for
those new to Python. If your proposal would be suitable for inclusion
in a Beginner's Track, please indicate so. Organizers will work with
speakers and instructors in the Beginner's Track to help them
coordinate their talks/tutorials into a coherent learning curve for
new Python users.

Please submit proposals by end of day (23:59 CST) July 16, 2011.
Accepted speakers will be notified by August 1.

If you are undecided about submitting a proposal, or have questions,
please feel free to contact me.
