Call for paper

Call for Paper is officially open!

Thanks to anybody who will submit a talk proposal!

Papers

The conference is composed of three parallel tracks:

• the Discovering Python track will primarily focus on introductory topics about Python libraries, frameworks and technologies;

• the Spreading Python track will focus both on advanced technical topics and related matters like development methodologies, real-world use cases and management techniques;

• the Learning Python track will feature a continuous interaction between the speaker and the audience: the speaker will propose a topic and introduce a possible solution, then the talk will dynamically evolve, naturally following questions and notes from the audience.

Talks could focus on the following topics (the list is neither exclusive nor exaustive):

• vast and/or distributed applications written in Python;
• scientific and computationally intensive applications;
• interaction with other languages/environments, RPC, services;
• web programming and web frameworks (Django, Zope, Pylons, ecc.);
• concurrent/distributed programming (Twisted, Tornado, Eventlet, ecc.);
• desktop programming and GUI toolkits;
• Python as "scripting" language (system administration, COM, etc...);
• Python and databases;
• Python as an educational language;

Each talk will have one of the following duration: 45, 60 or 90 approximately, inclusive of the time for the audience to enter and leave the room. Please specify which length best fit your contents: some flexibility is available to arrive at the best overall scheduling.

Community voting

Also this year the talks' selection process is public: all those who will have bought a ticket no later than March 18 will be able to vote and select the best talk proposals. Register now to be able to vote!

How to submit a paper

Your talk proposal must be submitted online through Assopy, by following some simple instructions on its speaker page.

When, How, and What to submit

As a talk proposal, you should just send an abstract with a few text paragraphs about the talk. The evaluation will be easier if you send a detailed description.

Once your talk proposal is approved, you'll have to submit the talk slides in PDF format, a few days before the conference opening day. More specific instructions will be available soon.

A note for non-Italian speakers

We warmly welcome and encourage the presence of non-Italian speakers at PyCon Italia. Most talks will be in Italian, though.

As last year, we are planning to provide Italian-to-English realtime translation for our guests. We are also like to provide, again, English-to-Italian realtime translation for that part of the audience which is not much familiar with English.

Additional info: for any questions, please contact us at info@pycon.it.
