Call for proposals -- PyCon 2011 -- <http://us.pycon.org/2011/>
===============================================================

Proposal Due date: November 1st, 2010

PyCon is back! With a rocking new website, a great location and more
Python hackers and luminaries under one roof than you could possibly
shake a stick at. We've also added an "Extreme" talk track this year -
no introduction, no fluff - only the pure technical meat!

PyCon 2011 will be held March 9th through the 17th, 2011 in Atlanta,
Georgia. (Home of some of the best southern food you can possibly find
on Earth!) The PyCon conference days will be March 11-13, preceded by
two tutorial days (March 9-10), and followed by four days of
development sprints (March 14-17).

PyCon 2011 is looking for proposals for the formal presentation tracks
(this includes "extreme talks"). A request for proposals for poster
sessions and tutorials will come separately.

Want to showcase your skills as a Python Hacker? Want to have hundreds
of people see your talk on the subject of your choice? Have some hot
button issue you think the community needs to address, or have
some package, code or project you simply love talking about? Want to
launch your master plan to take over the world with Python?

PyCon is your platform for getting the word out and teaching something
new to hundreds of people, face to face.

In the past, PyCon has had a broad range of presentations, from
reports on academic and commercial projects, tutorials on a broad
range of subjects, and case studies. All conference speakers are
volunteers and come from a myriad of backgrounds: some are new
speakers, some have been speaking for years. Everyone is welcome, so
bring your passion and your code! We've had some incredible past
PyCons, and we're looking to you to help us top them!

Online proposal submission is open now! Proposals  will be accepted
through November 10th, with acceptance notifications coming out by
January 20th. To get started, please see:
