Con notevole tempismo, aggiorno con la versione completa
della call for papers. :D
============================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
http://ep2011.europython.eu/call-for-papers
The call for papers is open!
SUBMIT A TALK
THE CALL FOR PAPERS WILL RUN UNTIL APRIL 6TH.
INTRODUCTION
We're looking for proposals on every aspects of Python: programming
from novice to advanced levels, applications and frameworks, or how
you have been involved in introducing Python into your organisation.
First-time speakers are especially welcome; EuroPython is a community
conference and we are eager to hear about your experience. If you have
friends or colleagues who have something valuable to contribute, twist
their arms to tell us about it!
Please also forward this Call for Papers to anyone that you feel may
be interested.
PRESENTING AT EUROPYTHON
We will accept a broad range of presentations, from reports on
academic and commercial projects to tutorials and case studies. As
long as the presentation is interesting and potentially useful to the
Python community, it will be considered for inclusion in the
programme.
Can you show the conference-goers something new and useful? Can you
show attendees how to: use a module? Explore a Python language
feature? Package an application? If so, consider submitting a talk.
Unfortunately, since EuroPython is a not-for-profit community
conference, it is not possible to reward speakers (but what price on
glory!). However, speakers will benefit from a reduced conference fee.
TALKS AND HANDS-ON TRAININGS
There are two different kind of presentations that you can give as a
speaker at EuroPython:
Regular talk. These are standard "talk with slides", allocated in
slots of 45, 60 or 90 minutes, depending on your preference and
scheduling constraints. A Q&A session is held at the end of the talk.
Hands-on training. These are advanced training sessions for a smaller
audience (10-20 people), to dive into the subject with all details.
These sessions are 4-hours long, and audience will be strongly
encouraged to bring a laptop to experiment. They should be prepared
with less slides and more source code. If possible, trainers will also
give a short "teaser talk" of 30 minutes the day before the training,
to tease delegates into attending the training.
In the talk submission form, we assume that you intend to give a
regular talk on the subject, but you will be asked if you are
available for also doing a hands-on training on the very same subject.
Speakers that will give a hands-on training are rewarded with a free
entrance to EuroPython to compensate for the longer preparation
required, and might also be eligible for a speaking fee (which we
cannot confirm at the moment).
TOPICS AND GOALS
Specific topics for EuroPython presentations include, but are not limited to:
* Core Python
* Other implementations: Jython, IronPython, PyPy, and Stackless
* Python libraries and extensions
* Python 3.x migration
* Databases
* Documentation
* GUI Programming
* Game Programming
* Network Programming
* Open Source Python projects
* Packaging Issues
* Programming Tools
* Project Best Practices
* Embedding and Extending
* Science and Math
* Web-based Systems
Presentation goals usually are some of the following:
* Introduce audience to a new topic they are unaware of
* Introduce audience to new developments on a well-known topic
* Show audience real-world usage scenarios for a specific topic (case study)
* Dig into advanced and relatively-unknown details on a topic
* Compare different options in the market on a topic
ITALIAN TRACK
Italy is home to a vibrant Python community that gathers together each
year at the local PyCon Italia event (up to 400 delegates!). To
acknowledge this reality in EuroPython and to encourage Italian
pythoneers who suffer from the language barrier, we will hold an
additional Italian track at EuroPython, containg only talks delivered
in Italian.
The talk submission form lets you choose the language you want to give
the talk in.
If you speak Italian and want to submit a talk for this special track,
please go ahead and submit the talk title and abstract directly in
Italian. If instead you are available to give the talk twice during
EuroPython, in both languages, please make two different submissions
for the same talk: one in Italian, and one in English.
COMMUNITY-BASED TALK VOTING
This year, for the first time in EuroPython history, the talk voting
process is fully public. Every partecipant gains the right to vote for
talks submitted during the Call For Papers, as soon as they commit to
their presence at the conference by buying a ticket. See all the
details in the talk voting page.
