As always, I am around to answer any questions as PyCon chair - I encourage everyone to take a look and submit talks, tutorials and posters. Startups are excellent examples in many cases of bleeding edge technologies and solutions in the Py

And someone here has commit privs to fix those bugs too :) (ask does)

Thank you. We're trying.

I'd add the best way to get involved is to join pycon-organizers ( http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pycon-organizers ) - as things ramp up, more and more opportunities will pop up.

The PSF helps out local conferences as much as it can - any "revenue" from PyCon is sent back out by the board of directors to local conferences in many, many countries. Check out http://pyfound.blogspot.com/

We're working on the call for papers / posters / tutorials next, and hoping to finish that within a week or two. I don't have a solid date on registration yet, but once we do we will announce it.

yes - we get a lot of scientists, especially big data scientists at the conference, and we encourage talks and tutorials around scientific computing+python - check out http://python.mirocommunity.org/ for past talks for a tasting!

Thank you. It's not just me - all the credit goes to the entire team, especially Van Lindberg for the past two year. Also, we're discussing bringing startup row back en-force this year, if anyone is interested.

Actually, that's a good point - they are platinum sponsors.
318.
by jnoller 15y ago
It's not odd; sponsors pick what level they feel they can commit to in terms of marketing support (booth space, banners, etc) and how much internal support they have for the conference or the community (in this case, Python and PyCon). Micr

As always, I am available to answer any questions and provide information as needed around PyCon!

I posted this on the OP's blog; but I figure it's worth repeating here as well. I'm only involved as a speaker; I was invited to speak, and so I am going to speak. Yes, I am the chair of PyCon, but me speaking at a conference is orthogonal

Added to the op - I knew about secrets, but had long ago forgotten about it.

What he said; use homebrew - judicious use of homebrew and virtualenv will save you lots of pain. I never install framework builds from python.org - I don't like installing things into /Library or ~/Library

Added a note to the OP; thanks.

I've never used apple encryption on a disk until Lion - the few times I've tried to use filevault, it has ended in tears, pain and frustration (have you ever run VMware images on filevault? Yeah.) The implementation in Lion is amazingly goo

I don't like splitting terminal windows - I use the tabs built into terminal.app and sizeup ( http://irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/ ) to split/stack essentially "tab groups". I normally have multiple spaces, each with 50% of the horizontal

shrug - Like I said, it's a matter of aesthetics and usability for me. I've never met a Linux UI I liked (except for XFCE a long time ago), and I go out of my way not to use non-native apps on OSX. It's all about personal preference. I

I only do Linux/web development; and it never really bothered me. Of course, I'm doing Python development, which means I rarely run into issues (and if I do, homebrew fixes them easily). I also run VMware fusion with Ubuntu/Fedora VMs for d
