[olpc-nz] Fwd: [nzpug] Kiwi PyCon 2010 - Call for Participation

[Tim McNamara]

Morning all,

Kiwi PyCon is happening in October last year. Last year, I provided a very
well-attended presentation. I'm sure there will be great interest in
receiving more proposals from tech/education in general and OLPC/Sugar in
particular. I think that people from this list should consider both
presenting, as well as attending.

I like that the NZ Python Users Group has specifically called for
"participation" and not "papers". It gives you a good indication of the type
of crowd that will be there.

I would love to be part of this year's event. Unfortunately, finances are
likely to hold me back. I would be more than happy to help drafting up some
content if anyone would like a hand.


Tim

Hi all,

we've got another Kiwi PyCon lined up, and we're all expecting it to be as
good as last year's event. This year it will be staged in lovely
Paihia/Waitangi in the sunny Bay of Islands. It is on the weekend 20-21
November.

Find attached the "Call for Participation". We are encouraging everybody to
come and to participate. Do not feel intimidated, this is a community
conference, and we are hosting talks and sessions for all knowledge levels.
Be
it a tiny demo or show and tell (by doing a 5 minute Lightning Talk), or up
to
running an hour long tutorial. Or are you interested in the dynamic
evolution
of a session? Then the un-conference like Open Spaces will give you just the
platorm for interaction ...

Also ... make sure to spread the word. Tell everybody else about it. Forward
this mail, blog about it, post it on Twitter/Identi.ca, etc. This CfP will
soon also be posted on the Kiwi PyCon web site:

http://nz.pycon.org

So you can just post a link. We're just making it easier and easier for you
...

Code and enjoy,

The Kiwi PyCon Committee
