Jesse: awesome! Thanks for all the hard work you put into these conferences. I feel like it's often a thankless job in some respects so an expression of gratitude is in order. As a side note: Looks like I should actually be able to attend this one! Looking forward to 2013.
Thank you: And it really is a team effort - without all of the volunteers, including myself PyCon wouldn't be possible.
I promised myself to be a volunteer next year. Really excited about it. The 2012 conference was wonderful. It was engaging, informative and had an excellent set of talks/speakers. Major props!!
And, as always I am around to answer any questions as the conference chair.
I'm working on an environment for computer vision that integrates python really well. It will be free to use, but closed-source - at least at first. Are PyCon talks only for open source projects or could I potentially give a talk?
While it's commonly biased towards more OSS, we have gladly accepted talks on a wide variety of software/topics including compelling closed-source solutions and services.
So yes, please submit a talk - just remember to be detailed and compelling!
That's great news! Thanks. Looking forward to the conference.
This is great! Time to come up with talk ideas!
Really fantastic conference last year! Looking forward to 2013!
Thank you to the whole team of heroic PyCon organizers!
Awesome news, Jesse. Definitely looking forward to it. Missed this year's, but planning to make 2013. Might even try to come up with a talk proposal.
