 I noticed the event runs late. We’re very excited about being a part of
PyTexas. We would love to host a happy hour or after hours event for the
developers attending to visit with our developers and recruiters about all
the projects Rackspace has going on. Any suggestions?



And I will be sure to bring plenty of goodies to give away during the day. J

Hi Haley,

Thanks for contacting me.

PyTexas is small regional conference for Python enthusiasts and
professionals, as well as beginners interested in learning the language. The
approach and content is inspired by the larger PyCon conferences, intended
to be fun and build the local open source community.

Unlike PyCon, we aren't charging any money for 'sponsorship'. Any
organization with an interest in Python is welcome to send us their 'swag',
usually promotional items like flyers, t-shirts, bags, mugs, toys, etc.  If
you want Python developers to send you their resume, you can produce a
flyer, or post to our wiki page (see pytexas.org).

In your case, RackSpace is likely to be popular, especially due to your
recent open source announcements. T-shirts are often a favorite item, and
shirts advertising OpenStack would probably be a hit.

We'll be putting together the tentative schedule this weekend.  Currently
we're planning for about 70 attendees.

Afternoon, Brad!



One of my devs, John Dickinson, just let me know several of them are
attending this event. He mentioned you were wanting some sponsorship
materials, swag, etc. Please let me know what you have in mind and I will
work on making this all happen.



Do you have an agenda or list of speakers/topics for this event yet?



Thanks,



Haley
