  <p>A webframework sprint bazaar!  The developers of Pylons, TurboGears, and Repoze.BFG
  will be working on various projects related to our frameworks and the packages they
  depend on.  Other WSGIframeworks are invited to participate and to propose their own
  projects.  Subscribe to your framework's main discussion list for pre-sprint task
  coordination.</p>

  <div class="document" id="python-for-teachers-and-teachers-of-teachers">
  <h1 class="title">Python for Teachers (and Teachers of Teachers)</h1>
  <p>As a geek with Python kung fu, you havefun
  skills to share with others, including those still in high school and
  seeking to master mathematical concepts that will serve them for a
  life time.  In taking this tutorial, you'reopening a communications
  channel between yourself, and other eager learners hoping to partake
  more deeply of open source culture and the opportunities it offers.</p>
  <p>We know from lastyear that many PyCon delegates are broadly interested
  in education track. This proposal attempts to support this demand by
  developing some publicly-accessible Python-related materialthat
  demonstrates how object-oriented programming be learned by using them to
  implement concepts from the mathematical domain.</p>
  <p>Learning can take place at multiple levels:</p>
  <p>1.Python and object-oriented concepts.</p>
  <ol class="arabic simple" start="2">
  <li>Mathematical concepts, which will be demonstrated in ways readily
  accessible to anyone who understands Python.</li>
  <li>Presentation ofprogramming topics in the educational environment.</li>
  </ol>
  <p>From this latter point of view the pair teaching format can be
  considered experimental. Its success or otherwise will bedetermined
  largely by group dynamics, and our goal is to make the outcome in and of
  itself provide useful empirical data helpful to others planningworkshops.</p>

  <h1>Presenters</h1>
  <p>Kirby Urner, age 50, was born in Atlanta and grew up
  overseas, before settling in Portland to work in the high technology
  sector.  Hehas a philosophy degree from Princeton University, was a
  contributing editor for McGraw-Hill, served as a mathematics teacher
  St. Dominic Academy and prestigious high school for young womenin
  Jersey City.  He currently works in a small private sector company
  serving both public and private sector clients.  Kirby is a single dad
  with two daughters, one grown, and one inhigh school.</p>
  <p>Steve Holden, aged (mumble) has been fiddling with
  computers since the 1960s. He graduated in Computational Science from
  Leeds University and has spent a lifetime onprogramming projects. He
  took up Python about ten years ago as the most sensible implementation
  of object-oriented ideas he had come across. He has a son approaching
  40, two cats, a six-month old pup and a wife but almost no life at all.</p>

  <p>Twitterbase is a subproject of a larger project called Kaleidoscope
  (<a class="reference external" href="http://my-kaleidoscope.org/platform.html">http://my-kaleidoscope.org/platform.html</a>) that focuses on semantic web,web
  services, and peer-to-peer databases technolgies. Twitterbase is designed to
  create a very simple data store and web services system using a Twitter bot
  named kscope. The beauty ofthe project is to be able to access a database and
  various web data using cell phone SMS. An early version of the software was
  presented at the O'Reilly Web 2.0 Expo this pastSeptember
  (<a class="reference external" href="http://www.web2expo.com/webexny2008/public/schedule/detail/5266">http://www.web2expo.com/webexny2008/public/schedule/detail/5266</a>). A page
  specifically with information about this PyCon sprint will be provided on the
  index page of thewebsite early next week with setup information, code, etc. If
  people want to have their own installation of Twitterbase using a Twitter
  account, you could try your luck at getting ontoTwitter's whitelist (I was
  successful in doing that).</p>
  <p>The primary goal for this sprint is to enhance the existing simple command
  language into a tiny programming language thatmanipulates the data store and
  can perform web services. The ideal list of objectives include:</p>
  <ul class="simple">
  <li>Use Amazon S3 service as a data store to supplement BerkeleyDB database</li>

  <p>This will be a 48 hour sprint where developers that are interested in contributing to an
  open source project that will free or otherwiseenhance government data can
  gather to brainstorm and hack on things.</p>
  <p>This sprint will be run by <a class="reference external" href="http://sunlightlabs.com">Sunlight Labs</a> which is the
  technology arm of the SunlightFoundation, a non-partisan non-profit dedicated
  to using the power of the Internet to catalyze greater government openness and
  transparency.</p>
  <div class="section" id="who-shouldattend">
  <h1>Who ShouldAttend?</h1>
  <p>Anyone that is interested in contributing to an open source project that will
  free or otherwise enhance government data can gather to brainstorm and hackon
  things.  Although the sprint takes place at PyCon you don't have to be attending
  the conference to attend.  Participation is free and open
  to anyone.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="section" id="what-happens-at-theopen-government-hackathon">
  <h1>What Happens at theOpen Government Hackathon?</h1>
  <p>The nature of the sprint will be fairly freeform, two Sunlight Labs members
  will be on hand guiding usersthat want to contribute to opening up
  the government. Users can come to the sprint without any background
  and we would help coordinate them and place them on a project where there
  skills would be useful (there is always a ton of scraping that needs to be
  done, building mini-web apps to showcase gov't data, etc.)</p>
  <p>Most likely we'll spend the first session onSunday talking about some
  project ideas and then interested parties will break off into groups to work
  on their projects.  Sunlight Labs developers will be available in person and
  online to provide guidance and share expertise.</p>
  <p>For ideas see the <a class="reference external" href="http://wiki.sunlightlabs.com/index.php/">Big Issues</a> and
  <a href="#id5"><span class="problematic" id="id6">`Project Ideas&lt;http://wiki.sunlightlabs.com/index.php/Project_Ideas&gt;`_</span></a> sections of the Sunlight Labs Wiki (and feel free to contribute your own)</p>

  <p>Also, the <a class="reference external" href="http://sunlightlabs.com/appsforamerica/">Apps for America</a> deadline is on March 31st, so it isn't too late to work onthat last minute contest entry and win $100 to $15,000 dollars.</p>

  <h1>I'm Sold, When/Where Is It?</h1>
  <p>There will be an introductory session at 4pm on SundayMarch 29th
  where we'll get oriented and start working on some ideas.  The sprint itself
  will take place March 30th and 31st (with potential to go longer depending on

  see what SteveHolden is doing with &quot;teach me web testing&quot;; it overlapped as of
  yesterday.  Plus he had a better room, so we should steal it from him if possible.</p>
  <p>For dinner, we'll probably orderpizza in, and Terry Peppers will
  be getting beer.  Please bring some cash or your paypal info ;).  I'd plan ~$10/perso
  for pizza, another $5-10 for beer.</p>

  Python community so that the rest of the community will be better able to put names with faces. These standard
  portraits will be retained by the Python Software Foundation for possiblefuture use with PyCon as well as project
  communications.</p>
  <p>During the long breaks on Saturday, the photography crew (&quot;PyCon Paparazzi&quot;) will be
  shooting portraits in the open spacesarea.  If you think we should have a photo of you for the PSF, we will shoot it.  There might be other
  opportunities to get your portrait taken, this is still TBD.</p>

  <p>Puzzled about Python eggs and packages?  Wondering how torepeatably pull
  together collections of packages into standalone development, testing and
  deployment environments, all while managing inter-dependencies?</p>
  <p>In this participatorytutorial, we'll start with <em>distutils</em>, walk through
  using eggs in the cheeseshop and creating your own eggs, touch a bit on using
  <em>virtualenv</em> to set up a development environment, and thendig into using
  <em>zc.buildout</em> to rigorously control assembly specifications, with build
  recipes, versioning and dependency management.  We'll close by showing how to
  create your ownrecipes.</p>

  <p>~10:00 Sat AM -- check the board for updates and location</p>
  <p>The Python writing community has never been stronger. From <a href="#id1"><span class="problematic" id="id2">`blogs&lt;http://planet.python.org/&gt;`_</span></a> to
  <a class="reference external" href="http://www.pythonmagazine.com/">magazines</a> to a slew of recent releases from <a class="reference external" href="http://www.oreilly.com/">O'Reilly</a>, <a class="reference external" href="http://www.packtpub.com/">Packt</a>,`Manning
  &lt;<a class="reference external" href="http://www.manning.com/">http://www.manning.com/</a>&gt;`_, <a class="reference external" href="http://apress.com/">Apress</a>, and other publishers there a more
  opportunities than ever before for anyone wanting to write about Python in someform.</p>
  <p>Of course, authoring is only one aspect of producing high quality professional writing. As an editor,
  it's no surprise that I think all authors can benefit from having someoneelse read their work. Even
  an informal review can help identify gaps in an explanation or problems with flow, not to mention
  typos.</p>
  <p>Writers, reviewers, and editors can all benefitfrom sharing tips, offering advice on tricky problem
  passages, or just chatting about ongoing projects. That list sounds just like the sorts of things we
  talk about when discussingprogramming, doesn't it?</p>
  <p>I'd like to bring people together in person for a group discussion and a chance to network. To kick
  things off, I'm working on organizing a &quot;meetup&quot; as anopen space session at PyCon in March. If you
  are a blogger, published writer, reviewer, or editor -- or aspire to be -- I want you to come and
  participate. No prior experience is necessary,everyone is welcome.</p>
  <p>Let's connect people interested in doing technical reviews with authors and editors. Let's introduce
  potential writers to the editors and publishers. Let's learnfrom one another and improve our prose,
  the same way we improve our code.</p>
  <p>We'll have to wait to schedule a precise time until the conference, but right now I'm thinking about
  lateSaturday morning or early afternoon. If you are interested in attending, please post a comment so
  I can gauge the size of the room we'll need. If you have a preference for the time, make sureto
  include that information. And if you have ideas for things we should talk about, let's hear them.</p>
  <p>Contact me at doug dot hellmann at gmail dot com with questions orcomments.</p>
  <p>Update: Although I was thinking of &quot;print&quot; writing, other forms of publishing like podcasting are
  welcome, too. We need more good Pythonpodcasts!</p>
  <div class="section" id="comments">
  <h1>Comments</h1>
  <p>I'd like to meet up with others. I'm working on a revision of Manning's Quick Python Book for Python 3
  and catching up with others would begreat. Thanks for starting this. <strong>Vern Ceder</strong></p>
  <p>Although not a writer of books per se, I do a lot of teaching, documentation and
  screencasts.  I keep meaning to get back into writingmagazine articles - I wrote some for Dr. Dobbs
  Journal some years ago.  <strong>Jeff Rush</strong></p>
  <p>Looking at the schedule, I think ~10:00 Saturday AM will be a good time for this session.

  <h1><em>So what is this part of the sitefor?</em></h1>
  <p>Glad you asked. This wiki is for the promotion and coordination of potential open space events
  before the conference starts.</p>
  <p>Maybe a group of people want to have a BoF session and you want to
  get the word out to others in the community and keep track of the interest. This could include
  sharing e-mails,getting information out about twitter feeds, or querying for questions to discuss
  on a topic. In short this space is for you, the PyCon attendees, to communicate the intent to hold
  OpenSpace events before the conference starts.</p>
  <p>Any time before PyCon starts:</p>
  <ul class="simple">
  <li>Decide on the title and content of the event</li>
  <li>Create a site <a href="#id2"><span class="problematic" id="id3">`Login&lt;/2010/profile/new/?next=/2010/openspace/&gt;`_</span></a> <em>(if you do not already have one)</em></li>
  <li>Create a wiki page for it.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>To create a page, just type a non-existing URL into your browser location(i.e. /2010/openspace/MyNewFancyOpenSpace ), and click 'Create Page'.
  The Wiki uses <a class="reference external" href="http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html">ReStructuredText</a> for the markup,
  anda ' <a class="reference external" href="http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html#section-structure">Title</a> ' is required.
  Please note that <em>you must be logged in to create a new page</em>.</p>
  <p>If you like,there is the option of adding <a class="reference external" href="http://moderator.appspot.com/">Google Moderator</a>
  to your Open Space wiki page.
  To add this feature you need to send a request e-mail to <em>doug dotnapoleone at gmail dot com</em> with the url
  of your wiki page and the e-mail addresses of the people you wish to have admin access to Moderator.</p>

  <h1 class="title">A Tour of Python Standard Library.</h1>
  <p>Welcome to <em>A Tour of Python Standard Library</em>. Together let us explorethe
  various modules, which will help you to build robust working programs.</p>
  <p>Once you know about a particular library well, you will start replacing those 20
  odd lines of code you usedto write with a 2-3 lines and feel safe that your code
  will now work on all the platforms that Python supports.</p>
  <p>Just like the galaxy, the Python Standard Library is vast and when hitch-hiking
  I will take you through some important ones that happen to be used most
  often. You can explore, ask questions, experiment through out the ride.</p>
  <p>Welcome! And let the journeybegin.</p>

  <h1 class="title">Internet Programming with Python</h1>
  <p>This tutorial introduces current Python
  programmers to 3-4 distinct areas ofInternet programming, each in
  self-contained (approximately) 1-hour lectures (unless otherwise noted)
  with a demonstration of code on each lecturetopic.</p>
  <div class="section" id="presenter">
  <h1>Presenter</h1>
  <p>WESLEY J. CHUN, MSCS, is author of Prentice Hall's bestseller, &quot;Core
  Python Programming&quot; (<a class="reference external" href="http://corepython.com">http://corepython.com</a>), its video training
  course,&quot;Python Fundamentals&quot; (LiveLessons DVD), and co-author of
  &quot;Python Web Development with Django&quot; (<a class="reference external" href="http://withdjango.com">http://withdjango.com</a>). In
  addition to being an architect at Slide, he runsCyberWeb
  (<a class="reference external" href="http://cyberwebconsulting.com">http://cyberwebconsulting.com</a>), a
  consulting business specializing in Python software engineering and
  technical training. He has over 25 years of programming, teaching,and
  writing experience, including more than a decade of Python. While at
  Yahoo!, he helped create Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! People Search using
  Python. He holds degrees in Computer Science,Mathematics, and Music
  from the University of California.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="section" id="requirements">
  <h1>Requirements</h1>
  <p>Developers familiar with Python who are interested in exploring
  client/server networkprogramming with sockets, Internet client (FTP,
  NNTP, e-mail), development and web programming. Bring a laptop to try
  out examples in lecture. All of the code used can either be found
  in&quot;Core Python Programming&quot; (2007: Prentice Hall) or &quot;Python Web
  Development with Django&quot; (2010: Addison Wesley).</p>
  <p>We will have a mix of both lecture and hands-on during our tutorialsession. in order to maximize your experience, i recommend some setup before coming to the tutorial on Thursday:</p>
  <ul class="simple">
  <li>Download the latest version of Django at <a class="reference external" href="http://djangoproject.com">http://djangoproject.com</a> ... itshould be 1.0.2+.</li>
  <li>Have an email account with POP or IMAP access... this will allow you to write an app to download your own email! if you do not have such an account, apply for a gmail(Google Mail) account as it offers both types of access.</li>
  <li>Have an email account that allows for sending via SMTP... this will allow you to write an app that <em>sends</em> email. similar toPOP/IMAP access above, if you don't have such server access, then again, get a gmail account as Google does offer (a restricted form of) this access.</li>
  <li>And although I will not bediscussing Twisted, there are some equivalent code samples using Twisted code contained in the tutorial notes.</li>
  </ul>
  </div>
  <div class="section" id="class-outline">
  <h1>Class Outline</h1>
  <ul class="simple">
  <li>Network Programming using Sockets --underneath all of today's
  network protocols, i.e., web/HTTP, FTP, database connections, IM
  conversations, online gaming, e-mail exchange, etc., lies the root
  communicationmechanism, sockets. Here, we introduce client/server
  architecture and how to program sockets using Python.</li>
  <li>Internet Client Programming -- one level higher than sockets are</li>

  <p class="system-message-title">System Message: WARNING/2 (<tt class="docutils">&lt;string&gt;</tt>, line 56)</p>
  Bullet list ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.</div>
  <dl class="docutils">
  <dt>well-known Internet protocols such as FTP, NNTP, POP3, and SMTP. We'll</dt>
  <dd>learn how to use Python's standard library to create
  clients of those and other Internet protocols.(~40min)</dd>
  </dl>
  <ul class="simple">
  <li>Web Programming -- yes, pure CGI is &quot;sooo yesterday,&quot; but before you
  jump on all the web framework bandwagons, it's a good idea to learn
  basics and the basis of howall web servers deliver dynamic content
  back to the client browser so that you can appreciate all the work
  that is done on your behalf by a more full-featured framework.</li>

  <h2>Food Coordinator</h2>
  <p>The food coordinator deals with the hotel's food service and/or an intermediary
  like <a href="#id1"><span class="problematic" id="id2">`CTE&lt;http://www.cteusa.com/&gt;`__</span></a> to decide on the menu service for the
  conference.  For PyCon 2008 much of this work was done by David Goodger, at least
  in part because he was already workingwith CTE.  Even if the food coordinator
  doesn't live near the conference site it would be helpful to have a local helper
  to try and iron out last-minute wrinkles.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="section" id="graphicscoordinator">
  <h2>GraphicsCoordinator</h2>
  </div>
  <div class="section" id="photography-coordinator">
  <h2>Photography Coordinator</h2>
  <p>The photography coordinator is the central point of contact for issues related to stillimages. The
  coordinator should insure that all events are appropriately photographed and documented. In addition,
  the coordinator should be submitting a final set of full resolution imagesis stored and made available
  as needed to PyCon as well as preserved properly going forward.</p>
  <p>The photography coordinator should also make sure that PyCon attendees are made aware ofsocial networking
  opportunities to share their images via flickr or other services.</p>
  <p>It is absolutely critical, that additional interested photographers become involved in theeffort.</p>
  <p>One of the goals of this year's PyCon is that portraits be taken of both individuals and teams so that the
  Python community will be better able to put names with faces. A smallstudio will be setup for at least part
  of PyCon for doing portraits and help will be needed (again!) in identifying folks who should be photographed
  and getting them to thestudio.</p>

  <h2>Local Coordinators</h2>
  <p>The local coordinators help deal with all of the on-site and last minutedetails that only
  boots on the ground can really solve -- this often includes coordinating with the Meeting Planning Staff
  and handling things outside of their purview.  Examples includeshopping for all needs such as consumables
  (markers, notepads, pens, pencils, paper, toner, etc.) and any other equipment needed.  This/these person/persons should
  arrive on-site at leasta day or two before any conference activities begin.</p>

  <div class="section" id="programcommittee">
  <h2>ProgramCommittee</h2>
  <p>The primary role of program committee members is to review the talk proposals.
  Each proposal is assigned to a minimum or 3 reviewers, but more reviews arealways welcome
  (and desired).  Reviewing includes asking authors for clarification when needed, (initially)
  private discussions with other reviewers and then providing a brief writtenreview and
  vote +/- 1 or 0 for each talk assigned.</p>
  <p>Finally, committee members are asked to champion proposals that they've voted +1 during
  the final decision process which hasbeen a lengthy meeting via IRC.</p>
  <p>This process is both demanding of the volunteers and yet critical for the most visible
  content at PyCon.  Active members of the PyCon organizers ANDthe Python community
  at large are strongly encouraged to get involved.  The more reviewers, the better!</p>

  <h4><a class="toc-backref" href="#id16">Python 3.0 enters spotlight at PyCon2010</a></h4>
  <p><em>CHICAGO - March 24, 2010</em> - PyCon 2010, the largest annual conference of the worldwide Python programming
  community, takes place March25 - April 2 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare and
  the Crowne Plaza Atlanta O'Hare in Atlanta, IL.  The core conference runs
  March 27-29, with days of special events both before and after themain conference.</p>
  <p>Last December's release of Python 3.0 marks one of the most important events
  in Python's history, and PyCon 2010 provides developers a chance to learn to
  adapt toit from the worldwide masters of Python programming.  Though Python's
  2.x series will remain viable for years, the Python community is clearly excited
  about the way forward paved byPython 3.0.  Several PyCon sessions will cover
  features new to the 3.0 release and techniques for writing Python 3.0 code.
  Following the main conference days (March 27-29), eighteen majorPython-based
  projects and the Python language core itself will gather attendees for four days of
  development sprints, where usually far-flung groups will work together to
  improve andextend their project codebases, and adapt them to Python 3.0's
  new possibilities.</p>
  <p>Python continues to advance in popularity and is acknowledged as one
  of the most important anduseful languages in the IT community.  In the past
  year, the Python language has been awarded the Linux New Media &quot;Best Open
  Source Programming Language&quot; award and the LinuxQuestions.orgLanguage of the Year,
  and is currently at position 6 in the TIOBE Programming Commmunity Index.</p>
  <p>Alan Broder, President  of White Oak Technologies, Inc., says, &quot;Since its inception
  in the late 1990's, WOTI's excellent reputation as a
  developer of high-performance software has depended on its ability to find top
  developers who can develop and deliver excellentsoftware products. The
  marketplace for top technical talent in the Washington DC area is quite
  competitive, so we needed to choose a language that would enable WOTI to recruit
  from thewidest possible pool of developers. As accomplished developers in
  C/C++, Lisp, Perl, and other languages, we decided to conduct an experiment  to
  try and build identical web-clientapplications in both Python and Java,
  starting with little knowledge of either language. The results were dramatic -
  including all learning time, we were able to build our first viablePython
  application in far less time then the equivalent Java application.  Python was
  the obvious choice, and since then, we've not looked back. We're quite pleased
  that Pythoncontinues to provide us with a competitive edge.&quot;</p>
  <p>Twenty-five industry leaders have joined to sponsor PyCon 2010, including
  White Oak Technologies, Inc. (Diamond); Google and SunMicrosystems (Platinum);
  and ESRI, CCP, Visual Numerics, Microsoft, slide.com, and Walt Disney Animation
  Studios (Gold).</p>
  <p>PyCon 2010 includes over eighty-five talks and keynotes,plus Open Spaces,
  Lightning Talks, and nighttime events -  activities
  that give attendees chances to meet and learn from each other in
  unstructured and semi-structured ways.
  AnExpo Hall will bring attendees together with sponsors and vendors.</p>
  <p>The core PyCon conference days (March 27-29) are preceded by two days
  (March 25-26) of intensive half-day tutorials.Two invitation-only summit
  meetings, the Virtual Machine Summit and the Python Community Summit, will
  run concurrently with the tutorials.  These first-time-ever summit meetings
  willgive leaders from the Python and other dynamic programming language
  communities an opportunity to share ideas and strategize together.  All
  PyCon attendees are invited to stay after thecore conference for development
  sprints (March 30 - April 2).</p>

  <h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id22">PyCon 2010 Hosts Cross-Community SummitMeetings</a></h3>
  <p><em>CHICAGO - March 16, 2010</em> - Python programmers won't be the only ones coming to PyCon this month.  PyCon 2010 is hosting twonew summit events that will draw key developers and strategists not only from Python, but also from the Perl, Ruby, Java, .NET, and JavaScript communities.</p>
  <p>The Virtual Machine Summit onMarch 25, sponsored by Sun Microsystems, and Python Language Summit on March 26, both at PyCon 2010 in Atlanta, are invitation-only events that will bring cross-discipline groups together todiscuss and strategize on challenges that are common across their projects.</p>
  <p>Virtual machines - software layers that sit between machine-specific binary code and language-specificcompilers, creating multi-language programming environments - have become a focus of modern language development.  Virtual machine developers will attend from a variety of projects, based in anumber of language communities: PyPy (Python), Parrot (Perl), Da Vinci (Java), DLR (.NET), TraceMonkey (JavaScript), and MagLev, Rubinius, and JRuby (all Ruby).  The summit gives them a uniqueopportunity to share insights and ideas on their common challenges with an
  exceptionally broad group.</p>
  <p>Allison Randal, architect of the Parrot virtual machine and a director of the PerlFoundation, said, &quot;Virtual machines have become such a crucial part of language development that there are groups working on them from virtually every language community.  We're facing similarchallenges, and too often, we've been facing them separately.  I'm looking forward to this chance to share ideas with some of the best minds in programming.&quot;</p>
  <p>Python itself has grown intoa variety of Python implementations (CPython, Jython, IronPython, PyPy) and an ecosystem of tools and resouces like the Python Package Index.  The Python Language Summit will bring managers ofthese projects together for focused discussions on topics including the ongoing transition to Python 3.0, better coordination between different Python implementations, and improved packaging ofPython libraries and applications.  The agenda is at <a class="reference external" href="http://us.pycon.org/2010/about/summits/language/">http://us.pycon.org/2010/about/summits/language/</a>.</p>
  <p>PyCon 2010 takes place from March 25 to April 2 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare and theCrowne Plaza Atlanta O'Hare in Atlanta, IL. The core conference dates are March 27 -- 29; the two summits run concurrently with the tutorials on March 25 -- 26.  The core conference is followedby development sprints (March 30 -- April 2), sponsored by Canonical, where attendees will work with project leads for four days of intensive, cooperative coding to advance major Pythonprojects.</p>

  <p><em>CHICAGO - February 10, 2010</em> - PyCon 2010, the seventh annual conference ofthe worldwide Python programming community, has opened registration and announced its list of accepted talks.  The topics show Python appearing in a variety of places outside its traditionalrealms.</p>
  <p>From hackathons in Africa to a neutrino detector at the South Pole; from massive multicore machines to tiny embedded wireless devices; and from mobile phones to distributedheterogeneous networks, talks at Pycon 2010 demonstrate how Python is being used in places and in ways that will startle even longtime Python users.  Python continues to branch out acrosssoftware platforms as well, with several talks covering the growing use of IronPython and Jython on the .NET and Java platforms.</p>
  <p>Meanwhile, traditional Python strongholds such as science,education, databases, and web programming are not neglected, and several talks flesh out attendees' understanding of fundamental Python topics.  Software craftsmanship is another prominenttopic, with many talks describing techniques for testing and deploying high-quality code.</p>
  <p>The 10 invited talks and 65 accepted talks are only a part of PyCon's schedule.  The three-daymain conference will be preceded by two days of intensive tutorials with 32 sessions on a broad range of topics.  Lightning Talks, Open Space sessions, and keynotes will provide even morelearning opportunities throughout the conference.  Finally, attendees are invited to stay after the conference for four days of development sprints, where they can work alongside some ofPython's greatest programmers to advance prominent Python projects like Django, One Laptop Per Child, and the Python language itself.</p>
  <p>PyCon 2010 takes place from March 25 to April 2 atthe Hyatt Regency O'Hare and the Crowne Plaza Atlanta O'Hare in Atlanta, IL.  The core conference dates are March 27 -- 29; tutorials run March 25-26, and development sprints run March 30 -April 2.</p>

  <p><em>World's largest Python event returns to Atlanta</em></p>
  <p><em>CHICAGO - October 20, 2008</em> - PyCon 2010, the seventh annualPython community conference, will take place March 27 to 29 at Atlanta's Hyatt Regency O'Hare hotel.</p>
  <p>In 2008, its first year in Atlanta, PyCon stunned organizers by drawing over 1000attendees, up from 586 in 2007 and 410 in 2006.  To avoid running out of room in 2010, organizers have moved next year's conference to Atlanta's Hyatt Regency from the Crowne Plaza AtlantaO'Hare, its 2008 venue.</p>
  <p>&quot;The continued growth of PyCon keeps us on our toes.  Each year's new attendees bring new energy to the community with their enthusiasm and their creativity - notto mention their sheer numbers; we changed venues to accommodate expected growth.  It's an exciting time to be in the Python community&quot;, said David Goodger, PyCon chair.</p>
  <p>PyCon, anentirely volunteer-run conference, encompasses topics across the breadth of Python usage, from core language design to dynamic web applications.  PyCon includes hundreds of regular talks,keynotes, Lightning Talks, hands-on laboratories, and informal Open Space events, as well as a sponsors' expo hall.  PyCon 2010's main conference days (March 27-29) will be preceded by two daysof intensive, half-day tutorials - increased from last year's single day due to their popularity.  After the conference, many attendees will stay for four days (March 30 - April 2) ofdevelopment &quot;sprints&quot; - cooperative programming workshops that advance selected open-source projects.</p>

  <p>I do a <em>lot*with reStructuredText these days and think it is
  great.  I'm doing a talk about reStructuredText/Sphinx in the
  last timeslot on Sunday so since there won't be time for an
  openspacesession *after</em> my talk, I want to promote one in
  advance.</p>
  <p>Being openspace, this is not a presentation but a discussion
  and show-n-tell.  I can show the ways I usereStructuredText
  to produce slides, including custom changes to docutils and
  Inkscape to support animated technical diagrams.  I can show
  tricks for making your slides print nicely thatI've developed
  for the tutorial about eggs/buildout I am teaching.</p>
  <p>I also use Sphinx a lot and have written extensions for it, to
  support embedded flash video and to add elementtypes for
  a martial arts website I run.</p>
  <p>And I'm sure there are others out there who can show off
  some neat things I'd like to see.</p>

  <h1 class="title">Session Volunteers</h1>
  <blockquote>
  <strong>To volunteer:</strong> go to
  the <a class="reference external" href="http://us.pycon.org/2010/conference/schedule/">schedule app</a> and hover
  your pointer over the link for atalk.  You should get a pop-up
  with information about the talk; this pop-up will
  either list the session chair and runners or have links to volunteer. (you will need a <a href="#id2"><span class="problematic" id="id3">`wiki login&lt;http://us.pycon.org/2010/profile/new/?next=/2010/helping/session_staff/&gt;`_</span></a>)</blockquote>
  <p>Session volunteers are the support staff for the speakers presenting. A session is a group of 1, 2, or 3 talksbetween breaks.
  For example, Friday has 3 sessions: 10:20am-12:40pm, 1:10pm-3:00pm,
  and 3:20pm-5:00pm.
  You volunteer for a specific time, place, andduration.</p>
  <p>Requirements:</p>
  <ul class="simple">
  <li>You must be physically present for an entire session, not just one talk.</li>
  <li><strong>Session Chairs</strong> manage the activities in the presentation
  room:introducing speakers, watching the time, stopping speakers on time,
  helping point out questions from the audience.</li>
  <li><strong>Session Runners</strong> co-ordinate speaker movement
  and thetransition between speakers.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Session Chairs and Runners work as a team.
  As there are four tracks, that means that we need to have four Session Chairs and
  four Session Runners tocover any single session time period.</p>
  <p>To volunteer to be part of the Session Staff:</p>
  <ul class="simple">
  <li>get a <a href="#id4"><span class="problematic" id="id5">`site login&lt;http://us.pycon.org/2010/profile/new/?next=/2010/helping/session_staff/&gt;`_</span></a>.</li>
  <li>When you use the <a class="reference external" href="http://us.pycon.org/2010/conference/schedule/">schedule app</a>,
  you will see links tovolunteer as a Session Chair or Session Runner for
  available slots, as well as see who has already volunteered.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>If you volunteer for a session, you are able to decline later ifsomething comes up, but please keep
  in mind that we are counting on your help to make PyCon successful.</p>
  <div class="section" id="session-chairs">
  <h1>Session Chairs</h1>
  <p>To chair a session, you must bephysically present in
  one room for the entire session, not just for one talk.</p>
  <p><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p>
  <p>Session Chairs introduce the speakers, keep the talks on schedule, andfacilitate the
  smooth transition between talks.</p>
  <p>Session Chairs are expected to meet briefly with the people who will be presenting
  in their session, before the session. Pleaselocate the speakers and introduce
  yourself well before your session. Ask them a few questions so you can introduce
  them (introductions should be quite brief), and be certain you know howto
  pronounce their names!</p>
  <p>Before beginning the talks, encourage the audience to fill all the available
  seats instead of sitting in the aisles or standing by thedoor.</p>
  <p>Session chairs should plan to arrive in the room about 10-15 minutes before
  their session in order to ensure everything is set up properly. Make sure that
  the sessions starton time and keep to the schedule. Stop watches with the
  time will be provided to help facilitate this along with little signs to let
  the speakers know when 10 minutes and 5 minutes areleft. Don't interrupt in
  the middle of a sentence, but try to keep things moving along on time.</p>
  <p>Once the speakers have started, please close the doors to screen out noise
  frompeople talking in the hallway. If you want to leave one door open for
  people to arrive quietly, that's fine, but please be prepared to close it
  if people are being noisyoutside.</p>
  <p>Upon conclusion of each presentation, encourage the speakers to disconnect
  their equipment and move into the hallway for discussions so the next
  speaker will not bedelayed in starting. If the speaker and/or attendees are
  interested in holding an open space follow-up session, an announcement
  can be made by the Chair, and those  interested can bereferred
  to the Session Runner to help facilitate this.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="section" id="session-runners">
  <h1>Session Runners</h1>
  <p>To be a runner for a session, you must be physically present in the green
  room 15minbefore the session you volunteer for. You need to be present in
  the green room 15min before each talk in your session, and present in the room
  you are volunteering for at the end of eachtalk.</p>
  <p><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p>
  <p>Session Runners help prepare and test the speakers equipment before their talk.
  All speakers are to arrive at the green room 10min before their talk.There the
  Session Runners help them prepare their laptop on a projector which is identical
  to the one they will be using in the presentation room. This is done to resolve
  any problems inadvance of the actual presentation. This could include resolving
  issues with adapters, screen resolutions and the like.</p>
  <p>Once the presentation is configured Session Runners should askfor a copy of
  the presentation materials to be uploaded to the website. These materials, if
  offered, will them be copied onto supplied USB drives, and then uploaded to the
  website bythe Session Runner after the transition.</p>
  <p>Session Runners escort the speaker to their talk at least 5min before the presentation
  time, and help connect the laptop to the live system. Atthis point the Session
  Runner hand off the presenter to the Session Chair with an introduction.
  Remember to ask for confirmation on how to pronounce the speakers name.</p>
  <p>If the speakerand/or attendees from the previous talk are interested in
  holding an open space follow-up session, Session Runners can help facilitate this
  by escorting the attendees to an available room,and filling out the open space card
  for them and posting it on the board.</p>
  <p>While Session Runners need not spend all their time in the Green Room during talks,
  they are required to bepresent 15min before each talk, through the full transition
  and at the end of the last talk in their session. Additionally Session Runners are
  'on-call' to help the session runners andspeakers during the full session time period.
  This will be accomplished via 2-way radios, the details of which to be given later.</p>

  <h1 class="title">Hands-On Python I &amp; II</h1>
  <p>Are you curious about Python and programming in general?  Are you new to programming?
  Start with theHands-on Python Tutorial.  Python is a great first programming
  language, and a language to keep using.  In the tutorial you interactively try small
  bits, get immediate feedback, and buildup your understanding and ability.  Early
  examples are text manipulation in a mad-lib generator and graphical animation, which
  you should understand, play with, and extend.  During thetutorial help will always
  be available as you work at your own rate.  You are welcomed to continue with more
  of the tutorial after PyCon.</p>
  <div class="section" id="presenter">
  <h1>Presenter</h1>
  <p>Thepresenter is Dr. Andrew Harrington, Director of Academic Programs in Computer
  Science, Loyola University Atlanta.  His original area was mathematics, and his
  interests morphed throughcomplex analysis, to fractals, image compression, graphics,
  and into programming languages and algorithms.  A current interest of his is to
  get middle school and high school students tomerge the study of algebra and
  geometry with an understanding of algorithms in Python.</p>

  and for 3.0.  For consistency please come with <a href="#id1"><span class="problematic" id="id2">Python_</span></a> version <em>3.0</em> installed.
  Also download and unzip the <a class="reference external" href="http://webpages.cs.luc.edu/~anh/python/hands-on/3.0/examples.zip">example</a> program file archive.  In case internet
  connection is disrupted, it may also be helpful to download and unzip a copy

  <p>Mac and Linux users may find their machines
  start with a partial Python installation:  Look at the python.org site for
  instructions on loading the full Python distribution, including Idle.
  Windows users generally need to download the Python installer from python.org.</p>

  <div class="section" id="outline">
  <h1>Outline</h1>
  <p>Thistutorial is totally interactive and self-paced.  The timing will completely
  depend on the person.  Participants are welcomed to start the easy beginning
  descriptive parts at home, andconcentrate on the harder later creative parts
  when individual help is available at the Tutorial.  Participants can do more or
  fewer of the more creative exercises.  A person just workingfor 6 hours on
  Tutorial Day with a partner might get into Loops And Sequences and understand the
  use of strings, loops, functions, and a dictionary in a basic mad-lib example
  program,and also be able to modify the example program effectively.  A faster
  person, or one skipping a number of the exercises, or one reading the beginning
  part ahead of time to get a jumpstart, or one who had seen a little bit of
  programming in another language, might get into graphics.  Likely all will have
  some of the later parts, like dynamic web pages, to continuewith after the
  Tutorials.</p>

  <li>Port MyFront to Python 3.0.  (This might be hard - there is a dependency on the compiler package, which isgone, IIRC.)</li>
  <li>Prototype a Python 3.0 front-end for MyFront.</li>
  <li>Crank a compile time version of ctypeslib (sans XMLGCC dependency).</li>
  <li>The parser generator is &quot;wonky&quot;.  We could look atother LL parser generators capable of generating an inheritable class (could also look at PEG's).</li>

  <h1 class="title">Working with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) inPython</h1>
  <p>Learn how to work with GIS in Python in a project-based workshop.  The first
  half will cover reading and writingshapefiles and GeoTIFFs, converting between
  pixelLocations and geoLocations, extracting raster windows using shapefiles and
  creating a web application that displays nearby locations usingPostgreSQL's GIS
  support and Google Maps.  In the second half, you will work with GeoDjango and
  discover the architecture behind a production web application used in rural
  electricityplanning and an image recognition system that finds houses in rural
  satellite images.</p>

  <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id9">General Tips</a></h1>
  <p>The preparation for a successful talk starts before youarrive at PyCon.
  While developing your presentation, remember the following:</p>
  <ul class="simple">
  <li>For a 30-minute slot, you have 25 minutes to talk plus 5 minutes for
  questions. 45-minute slots meanyou have 40 minutes to talk and 5
  minutes for questions. Time your talk accordingly.</li>
  <li>Rehearse your talk before giving it, and time how long it takes.
  Practice it several times-- using a camera can be helpful, or deliver it
  at a local user group or to your co-workers.</li>
  <li>Don't forget to upload your slides to the PyCon web site.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>At PyCon, there areseveral things our speakers can do to ensure a successful presentation:</p>
  <p>#. <strong>Be Prepared</strong> - Be sure to have all presentation materials (notes, slide decks, digital media, etc.) ready
  to go with time to spare.  This will allow more time for you to become comfortable with the conference</p>

  presentation facilities.</blockquote>
  <ol class="arabic simple">
  <li><strong>Go to the green room before your talk begins</strong> -Here you can test with a projector,
  provide a copy of your slides, and be introduced to your session chair.</li>
  <li><strong>Take advantage of presentation staging times (TBD)</strong> - During offhours or other designated times,
  presentation rooms will be available for speakers and other presenters to get familiar with
  the Audio/Visual equipment at PyCon.  Bring your laptop,presentation media, etc. to note the
  proper settings best suited for your particular presentation.</li>
  <li><strong>Speak loudly</strong> - If you're not a practised public speaker the single bestthing you can do to improve your
  confidence and presentation is to speak louder than you naturally feel comfortable with. Practise helps
  but speaking loudly also makes you slower andclearer, especially if English is not your native tongue.</li>
  <li><strong>Communicate early and often with PyCon staff</strong> - If you have a question, please ask;
  we're here tohelp!</li>

  <div class="section" id="designing-slides">
  <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id10">Designing slides</a></h1>
  <p>PyCon does not have a published volume of proceedings, but the slides
  and other materials for talks are made available on-line.Therefore,
  be sure your presentation can be turned into a format suitable for
  online viewing. PDF, HTML and plain text are all good. Keep graphics
  reasonably sized for webaccess.</p>
  <ul class="simple">
  <li>The slides are primarily to support your talk</li>
  <li>Slides should not be too &quot;busy&quot;<ul>
  <li>Keep slides short.</li>
  <li>Each bullet point should have no more than fifteenwords.</li>
  <li>Group related points.</li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Only cover the most important points on the slides<ul>
  <li>Expand as you speak if there's audience interest</li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  <li>View your slides on aprojector and see if they're readable.  Are
  the font sizes large enough?  Is there enough contrast between the
  text and the background?</li>
  <li>Don't try to squeeze more than 10lines of code onto the slide; if
  the font gets too small, the code will just be a meaningless set of
  squiggles to people in the back of the auditorium, and it won't be readable
  inYouTube-resolution videos.</li>
  <li>As much as possible, stick to the top two-thirds of the slide area.
  Try to leave the bottom portion of your slides blank.  Sometimes
  people can'tsee the bottom of the screen due to the room layout or
  people's heads.</li>
  <li>Leave the lower right corner of the slide blank.
  When processing videos from PyCon, we will try to putvideo of the speaker
  in this region of the screen.</li>
  <li>At PyCon we use projectors with a resolution of 1024x768.
  Presentations look best when the slide size is the same as the</li>

  <ul class="simple">
  <li>Giving a talk is not a writing problem or a design problem. It is a
  performance problem. If you are a new speaker, you should probably
  spendmore time practicing your presentation than you spend writing
  and designing the slides.</li>
  <li>Have your important research done before you start trying to prepare
  the talk. If yourun out of preparation time, don't skimp on
  rehearsal; instead, cut scope from the talk, or make do with a
  simple but readable visual design.</li>
  <li>If in doubt, err on the side ofnot talking long enough and begin
  answering questions from the audience.  It's
  better to have the audience thinking &quot;That talk left me wanting
  more.  I need to go talk to thepresenter/download the package/go to
  the BoF,&quot; than &quot;That talk stretched 15 minutes of material into an
  hour.  What a waste of time.&quot;</li>
  <li>Don't spend time on introductorymaterial, e.g. explaining Python's
  syntax, explaining XML for fifteen slides.  Instead, jump into
  the technical heart of the talk: your application, your library, your code.</li>

  <ul class="simple">
  <li>If you are nervous, there'snothing wrong with admitting that.<ul>
  <li>Remember, the information you present is your talk's primary value.</li>
  <li>PyCon audiences are very forgiving.</li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Take time to yourselfbefore you speak.<ul>
  <li>Deep breathing is always good preparation</li>
  <li>Your nervousness will be less apparent than you suppose.</li>
  <li>Be in the room a few minutes early if youcan, and chat to people
  already in the room as you prepare.</li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Many technical folk are not confident at public speaking. To be an
  effective speaker you need to speak much moreloudly than you are
  naturally comfortable with. If you think you are speaking too
  loudly you need to speak a bit louder.<ul>
  <li>Speaking loudly naturally makes you speak more slowlyand clearly.</li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Don't just read the slides<ul>
  <li>People came to hear what you have to say</li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Check that the audience is hearing you (&quot;Can you hear me at the
  back?&quot;) andunderstanding you (&quot;Does that make sense to everyone?&quot;;
  &quot;Are there any questions about that?&quot;)</li>
  <li>Don't forget about the microphone, whether it's attached to your
  lapel or is onthe podium in front of you.  Some speakers will turn
  to point at the display and talk away from the microphone; be sure
  to point and then turn back.</li>
  <li>Look around at youraudience and pay attention to their body
  language:<ul>
  <li>If they are nodding up and down, they understand and/or agree.</li>
  <li>If they are watching you intently, they are payingattention and
  trying to learn.</li>
  <li>If they are yawning, perhaps it is time to move on/go faster.</li>

  <p>This talkconcentrates on the advancements of agile development
  tools in Python with some insights on how they might apply to database applications.
  Using SQLAlchemy as a driver for discussion, thetalk covers setting up easy_install,
  creating a virtual environment, creating your own packages using paste, setting up a
  test environment for databases, and using coverage to developrobust code.
  The talk is punctuated by screencasts which the author talks over to
  show how all of these tools can be used.</p>
  <p>Basically, if you want to know how to set up a robustdeployment system
  that relies on a database to do it's workings, this is your talk.</p>
