Thanks for writing this and sending it out, Arthur. I've been
procrastinating on writing up something like this, so I'm very glad
you got it done. We can use this as a basic template for sending out
to Baylor and other schools.

No problem.. we have a new intern / UT student working for our organization
and he indicated since the semester is ending it might be a good idea to
check when summer school starts (today for UT) and time an email to the
professors/students based on that so our survey email doesn't get overlooked
or stacked on-top of other emails.

I've modified Arthur's PyTexas 2010 survey announcement which was sent
to UT Austin professors, so that it would explain a bit more about
Python. I'm thinking about sending this out to the professors at Waco.
Please take a look at the wording and let me know what you think.

	profs/students
Message-ID: <AANLkTikgQPYALRd5vj79Zp7eyjvcD4NKNesacZOkxvHa@mail.gmail.com>

We're working on an announcement to attract students to PyTexas 2010,
and I would like to get some feedback on the wording before the
announcement goes out. The goal here is to help professors and
students understand why Python might be interesting and worth learning
about.

An editable version is available on the PyTexas wiki

http://pytexas.org/AnnouncementForProfs2010

Here is the current version of the text:
====================================

Hello professors,

I'm writing on behalf of the organizers of PyTexas 2010, a one-day
conference organized by the Python programming community in the Texas
region. It will be held at Baylor University in Waco on Saturday,
Augst 28, and we'd like to invite you and your students to join us.

Python is a general purpose, open source programming language popular
for its elegant, high level, cross-platform design. It's fundamentally
object oriented, but allows programming in a procedural style, which
provides a smooth learning curve for those new to object-oriented
concepts. It also supports many functional programming concepts such
as iterators, generators, and list comprehensions.

More importantly, Python has a wide range of practical uses, from
simple shell scripts to large scale enterprise applications. It's used
for system administration, web development, building GUI applications,
scientific computing, game development, and as a "glue" language for
systems integration, among other things. Python developers have many
choices of runtime environments, including CPython, JVM(Jython), and
.Net(IronPython). It's also used at some universities as an
introductory language for computer science.

At PyTexas this year we're planning a beginner's track, to help those
new to Python get comfortable with the language and the most popular
libraries. We'll also have a track for experienced Python developers
interested in more advanced topics.

We'd like to gauge interest among university level students and
others.  To do so we've developed a very brief survey that takes less
than 5 minutes to complete.

We could use your assistance disseminating the survey to students,
other professors, or anyone else you think might be interested.
Please forward the below introduction and link to students' emails or
to an appropriate UT listserv. Also, you yourself should feel free to
fill out the survey if you have any personal interest in attending.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Brad Allen
Member of the DFW Python User Group

*******************************************************************************

Hello,

The PyTexas group invites you to take a very brief survey.  We are
organizing PyTexas 2010, a conference to share Python-related
knowledge and enthusiasm, in the form of presentations, coding
sprints, "teach me" sessions, and general socializing.

Python is an excellent programming language with a thriving open
source community.  You can use it for system administration, web
development, building GUI applications, scientific computing, game
development, and as a "glue" language for systems integration, among
other things. With its elegant, clear syntax, it's easy to learn; many
Python developers like to say "Python fits my brain."

We encourage you to get involved!  To do so, please take a few moments
to answer the questions in our survey.  The link is available here or
you may copy and paste the link below into your browser.

Sincerely,
PyTexas

Brad,
Just me being picky perhaps but I would drop the word "shell" .. 
It might also be worth linking to the Python.org success page to indicate the wide variety of companies using Python.

The general call for proposals has not gone out yet, but I expect it
to go out sometime this week.

However, that doesn't mean we can't get started brainstorming about
what we'd like to see and do at PyTexas.

I've started a page on the wiki to capture some of these ideas:

    http://pytexas.org/TalkIdeas

However, we can also discuss the ideas in this thread.

Is anyone on this list interested in giving a talk? Do you have any
ideas about talks you'd like to see someone else give? :-)

One talk idea I "overheard" once in a mailing list or IRC was something on
the order of "Patterns of program flow using Twisted"...and I've always
wanted to hear that talk, though as far as I know no-one has ever given it.
Not sure who would even be the right person to give it though.  One of the
core Twisted devs moved to Dallas a while back...maybe we can convince him
to do it.

Sure, that sounds interesting. Ask him if he likes to give
presentations; if not we could figure out another format such as a
'code interview' Q&A session.

First post here, and following up on this post from Catherine Devlin
earlier this year:
http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.com/2010/04/bugfixing-at-pyohio.html

Catherine suggested a talk where some number of people experienced in
contributing to Python walks her through the process of contributing a
bugfix to Python. I think this would be a fantastic talk for PyTexas
2010 - if not for a beginner track, then perhaps for some intermediate
track. I myself would gladly be the 'guinea pig' of such a talk.

I just heard back from Catherine, and this talk is scheduled to go on
during PyOhio, but she suggests (and I agree) that more is better in
this area. There's a lot of work to be done, and a talk like this
could generate a number of contributors for the language.

That's an excellent idea.

The call for proposals hasn't gone out quite yet, so I will
incorporate this idea and ask for volunteers to play these roles
(teachee and teacher).

Wow, thanks Mike.

We haven't sent out the call for proposals yet, or identified the
process of selecting the talks, but I'm glad to receive this proposal.
Thanks for stepping forward.

This seems like an excellent general interest topic so the chances are
good for inclusion. Once we have in more of the proposals, we will
decide either by having a program committee, or possibly a survey
listing the talks and letting people vote their interest (that would
tell us which talks need the bigger rooms!)

I think this would be an interesting topic to hear. The statement on NOT
using dependency injection made me curious to hear your thoughts on the
design of large systems using a more functional model. The organization of
systems using a stateless, functional model is a lot more interesting than
the typical "Welcome to functional programming. Forget about your variables.
Here's map, reduce, filter, recursion and function objects."

PyTexas 2010, the fourth annual Python programming conference for
Texas and the surrounding region, will take place Saturday August 28,
2010 at the Baylor University in Waco, Texas. A variety of activities
are under consideration, including tutorials, scheduled talks,
Lightning Talks, Open Spaces, and Sprints.

PyTexas invites all interested people to submit proposals for
scheduled talks, tutorials, and panels. All topics of interest to
Python programmers will be considered, including topics suitable for
inclusion in a Beginner's Track.

Hi Everyone -

I saw the PyTexas conference mentioned on Planet Python, and I thought 
it would be fun to drive down from Kansas City for the event.

I might be able to work up something to present, but I can definitely 
offer up some A/V gear for recording.  I have a run of the mill Sanyo HD 
video camera and a 4 track digital recorder for capturing audio.

Let me know how that sounds.  Thanks!

Wow, great! Thanks for volunteering, Tim.  That's a pretty significant
drive from Kansas City. What day are you planning to arrive? Do you
also have microphones? I'm wondering what kind of setup and testing
time would be required.

Hi Brad --

I'm planning on arriving Friday evening, and I can stay as late as about 
noon on Sunday if there is any post-conference sprinting.  I can adjust 
my arrival on Friday to give us time to do a dry run.

I have four dynamic microphones, each with 20ft cables and stands, so 
that should be enough gear to record a complete track.  I also have a 
small portable recorder with a condenser mic -- if someone else has a 
camera and tripod, we could get a second track recorded as well.  I'll 
plan on bringing it all.

I have only ever done live audio recording, so I am open to any 
suggestions on gear or the process of audio+video recording.

Thanks,

Tim

Unfortunately the building will be closed on Sunday morning, so we
planned this as a one day event. However, I suppose some Sunday
sprints might be possible if someone can find a place with internet
access. (I read somewhere that Starbucks is going to start offering
free wifi).

So we could use one for each of the three rooms, and one of the rooms
could have an extra mic for audience questions.

However, if we have any panel discussions we may need all four mics
for one room.

Maybe that should just be for a separate room. I'm not sure we need
two audio tracks for one room.

There is a process developed for PyCon using free software called
DVSwitch for live editing. Karl Karsten recommended a particular
capture device for VGA between laptop and project, called Canopus
TwinPact 100. That's why the recent PyCon videos have such clear
screen output, and they toggle between the speaker and the full screen
output of the developer's presentation laptop.

The Canopus TwinPact 100 costs about $450, and I'm not sure how we
would pay for it, but it would be great to have.

Tomorrow I'd like to send out on sending out the current version to

Jeremy, could you help with getting this to Baylor professors? If
anyone else knows any profs at nearby universities, please help pass

Sounds good.  Though I sent this to UT Austin profs a bit early, do we think
a second round would be useful?  I didn't get any response back so assume it
may have been ignored.  In any event, I'm of the opinion that a reminder
wouldn't be a bad idea and we can make use of the newer version.

Hmm, the video might cause a bit of a snag.  I tried to get my camera to 
play nice with DVSwitch yesterday, and I haven't had any luck.  It looks 
like the newer HD cameras have dropped support for standard DV output. 
I might see if there are any DV+firewire camera steals on craigslist.

Fortunately we have some time on our hands to get the details figured 
out. How many rooms/tracks do you expect to have at the conference?

Thanks!

Someone in our local community might have one also. At last PyTexas
one of the DFW Python members did show up and record video though I
don't know anything about the equipment.

Currently three rooms are reserved, two big and one conference room.

http://tim.freunds.net/media/files/PyTexas/2010/flyer.tgz

Keeping it simple and monochrome will make it cheap and easy to 
photocopy.  Let me know if you'd rather have it 2-up or on a different 
sheet size all together.  And, of course, let me know if there are any 
issues using the logo in this way.  If folks like it, feel free to post 
the PDF or source on the PyTexas wiki.

Thanks,

Tim

Tim,

Thanks for doing this - it looks great!  Hopefully it will get us some
more attendees at pyTexas.

Thanks, Tim!

Jeff is also going to wear our prototype PyTexas 2010 t-shirt at
SciPy; hopefully that will also attract attention!
