If y'all have questions, I'm the program chair so fire away. I'm happy to answer 'em here.

Same here! (Conference Chair)

how many submissions did you have?

~500 give or take

Are all of these full-length (~30+ minutes) talks? If not, is there some way to see which ones are full-length talks?

Most talks will be 30 minutes, some will be 45. We don't know which are which yet; that'll come when we publish the actual schedule in the next couple weeks.

Excellent! Thank you very much, Jacob.

So excited about PyCon, last year was fantastic. I always make sure to mention it on these threads because you guys bust your ass to make it happen and I just want to thank you again. :-)

I'd love if the talks came with Lanyrd links so I can track them and check out the material, once it's up.

Great idea - I'll see what I can do!

They need a conference API. If only we knew someone over there...

Every year I submit a handful of proposals, every year they all get rejected :( Someday...

Jesse Noller and a crew of volunteers have just started this: http://speakup.io/ Perhaps they could give feedback on proposals?

We can give feedback directly to PyCon proposers who weren't selected. We have logs of the discussions that have happened at each stage of review that a proposal goes through.

For future editions of PyCon, the SpeakUp! list would be a great place to get feedback on pre-deadline proposals.

Oh wow, this looks amazing. I just ctrl+clicked 16 talks :-)

I'm a student, and your student pricing is great. If only air fare wasn't 4x the cost from where I am. I might still come, though! It's an investment in myself.

If cost is the only thing keeping you from coming to PyCon, please considering applying for financial aid. Each year we give out tens of thousands of dollars in free tickets and grants to help people get to PyCon. You could easily be one of them - please apply! See https://us.pycon.org/2013/assistance/ for more details.

Any chance to see those talks online some day ?

I hope and think so. PyCon 2012 videos are available at: http://pyvideo.org/category/17/pycon-us-2012

Yes, all the talks will be recorded and release after the conference.

Great list of talks but with our lack of concurrency picking the right talk is going to difficult or I should say a GILemma :)

Just... wow.

100 internets to you, sir.
