Laura Lewin is looking for chairs for two Python tracks (or a Python track and a Zope track) at the O'Reilly conference. Anybody interested in volunteering? Some background info: > We actually have two tracks, and there's room for strong differentiation > between the two. Each track has a room for two days. We'll also want > tutorials on the Monday and Tuesday. > > Like O'Reilly's books, we're not really aimed at the novice. We want to > give people who already use the technology more information. There should > be at least one introductory tutorial, but we don't want to focus > exclusively on that. However, if you, as Chair, have a vision for what you > want O'Reilly's conference to be, we'd be very happy to work with you to > realize that vision. > > This year we're trying to raise the bar on our Python and Zope offerings. > We'd like to have a lot of editorial involvement from a program committee, > so that potential speakers have a chance to get their talks reviewed and > commented-upon by others. > > The program chair would really be the point person for the conference, to > drum up papers and help publicize the conference to the Python community. > The chair would appoint a committee, receive submissions, select > presentations, seek out talks from people who > didn't submit, and generally put together the material. > > We can handle any combination of program committees and chairs: one person > overseeing two committees, two chairs two committees, whatever gets it all > done. > > Does this sound like a job you're interested in? It doesn't pay, but it > would be great for the Python community, as I'm sure you know. For more info, please write or call Laura Lewin LLewin@oreilly.com (631) 262-9278. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
