PyCon is coming - we need your help


Dear Python User:

I wonder if you would be kind enough to take the time to
read this email and help us to publicize PyCon DC 2005,
being held March 23-26 at the Cafritz Conference Center of
George Washington University.

The Call for Participation went out some time ago, but it
is a good time to remind people that the deadline for
submissions is December 31. If you personally are thinking
of submitting a paper then this can be a reminder to do so
soon!

We already have acceptances from two keynote speakers, and
hope to announce them when a third is finalised shortly.

As always you can find out about the conference at

http://www.pycon.org/
http://www.python.org/pycon/

This year we are going to be able to accept credit card
payments for the first time, which we hope will be more
convenient for delegates.

The registration fees this year are the same as for 2004:

Early Bird (to Jan 22) $175 ($125 student)
Regular (to Mar 19) $250 ($175 student)
On-Site $300 ($225 student)

A further announcment will be made when the registration
site opens for business. In the meantime I would appreciate
your assistance in posting this message via any channels you
know of that have an interest in the Python language and its
applications - publicity is the key to getting the most
diverse group of people at PyCon.
regards
Steve Holden
Chairman, PyCON DC 2005

Feel free to run one there! Then again, there's already EuroPython.

I thought that the food provided at PyCon last year was awful. Now I find out it cost us approximately half the budget of PyCon, at 74$ a head. I think that this is shameful. But Aahz thinks the convenience factor, for those people who are willing to eat the food -- outweighs the cost factor. It looks as if if is coming in at 70$ a head this time. I'd rather have the 70$. But Aahz doesn't want to open this discussion unless I can...

MessageBill reminds me to remind you that PyCon 2004 early-bird registration ends soon. PyCon is shaping up, and registrations are coming in. Still room for sprints on new topics, though - talk to Jeremy Hylton about them. Still time to send in your paper, too. This year we are also looking for good educational papers, as we have encouraged students to attend with a $50 discount, and they need good learning materials. Still a week before...

This is the *last* reminder that the deadline for sending proposals for presentations at PyCon DC 2004 is January 15, 2004. That's upcoming Thursday! I'm also reminding everybody, speakers and non-speakers, of the upcoming deadline for Early Bird Registration: January 31. Until then, the registration fee is $175 (student rate $125); after that date, the registration price goes up to $250 (student rate $150). Don't forget to register! ...

You will note that I have changed my signature for newsgroups to include a plug for PyCon. I would very much appreciate any similar changes that c.l.py readers felt able to make to help get the word out that PyCon is *the* place to be for Python users and developers. I appreciate that not everyone has control over their .sig, and that some people find advertising of this crassly commercial nature a little distasteful. If either of these...

Pardon the Chicken Little-like introduction, but there's good news that doesn't seem to have penetrated (as far as my news server anyway) - please accept my apologies if you've already seen this. The PyCon organizers recently announced that the early bird registration deadline for PyCon 2006 has been extended (because of hotel booking issues) until JANUARY 15. This is the first time that PyCon has included tutorials (disclaimer: I am...

Coming to PyCon 2006 in Dallas in a few weeks? Want to make a name for yourself before you arrive? Think Django is cool and want everyone else to know it? Whip up a Django app to slide into the PyCon website (already running Django in part) that hooks into Google's Map API. Provide a way for conference attendees to stick virtual pins on where they are from (and perhaps leave a popup note for others to find ;-). There are already...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
