PyOhio is this weekend! If you are thinking about going you should stop thinking and register. You’ll have a good time.
I’ve been asked several times over the last few days about what to expect and if it is worth going. It’s definitely worth your time. You can’t beat a free, high quality conference. (You may need to to pay ~$100 or so for a hotel and spring for some food if you are too far away to drive.) What to expect is a bit harder to answer.
Much like peace or love everyone experiences conferences in their own way. If you are mostly into sessions then you’ll enjoy our two tracks of talks. If you are a Python newbie we have a track for beginners. If you want to participate in active discussions you can attend an open space or run one of your own. Want to code? There are a few sprints scheduled for Saturday evening and I believe the few days following the conference.
I’m going to try to do more open spaces/socializing this year. There are a few talks I’d like to attend, but I don’t think that’s how I’ll be most productive. The From Python Import Podcast crew will be around on Saturday and we plan on doing some interviews. That should be a lot of fun.
If you see me walking around please stop me and introduce yourself. I’m very interested in hearing about the cool things you are doing in Python. I’ll see you in a few days.

PyOhio 2009 Call For Proposals
The PyOhio Call for Proposals has been issued!
PyOhio 2009 takes place July 25-26, 2009 at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. Much like a mini-PyCon, it includes scheduled talks, tutorials, Lightning Talks, Open Spaces, and room for your own unique ideas. If you can make it to Ohio this summer, please consider participating.
PyOhio 2009, the second annual Python programming mini-conference for Ohio and surrounding areas, will take place Saturday-Sunday, July 25-26, 2009 at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. A variety of activities are planned, including tutorials, scheduled talks, Lightning Talks, and Open Spaces.
PyOhio invites all interested people to submit proposals for scheduled talks and tutorials. PyOhio will accept abstracts on any topics of interest to Python programmers.
Standard presentations are expected to last 40 minutes with a 10 minute question-and-answer period. Other talk formats will also be considered, however; please indicate your preferred format in your proposal. Hands-on tutorial sessions are also welcomed. Tutorial instructors should indicate the expected length
PyOhio is especially interested in hosting a Beginners’ Track for those new to Python or new to programming in general. If your proposal would be suitable for inclusion in the Beginners’ Track, please indicate so. Organizers will work with speakers and instructors in the Beginners’ Track to help them coordinate their talks/tutorials into a smooth, coherent learning curve for new Python users.
All proposals should include abstracts no longer than 500 words in length. Abstracts must include the title, summary of the presentation, the expertise level targeted, and a brief description of the area of Python programming it relates to.
All proposals should be emailed to cfp@pyohio.org for review. Please submit proposals by May 15, 2009. Accepted speakers will be notified by June 1.
You can read more about the conference at http://pyohio.org
If you have questions about proposals, please email cfp@pyohio.org. You can also contact the PyOhio organizers at pyohio-organizers@python.org.
