[Usergroups] Help Plone presence at PyCon 2010! Call for Papers due Thurs!!!

[Christopher Johnson]

Hi user group leaders,
We in Atlanta are really looking forward to hosting the US PyCon 2010
conference! We'd love this to be a great opportunity to have the Plone
community gather and promote the great work and innovations in the
community. To make that happen, we need help getting papers/proposals in to
the conference organizers - by THIS THURSDAY! Please distribute the
following call for papers to your user groups so we can generate more of a
Plone presence.

We hope to see you in Atlanta! And yes, we'll be helping the conference
folks make sure we all have a good time in our home town! It will be a
beautiful time of year, especially if your coming from one of those places
where it gets really cold (which we consider anywhere you can't see the
ground for more than a week in winter :).

Best wishes,
Chris


Call for proposals -- PyCon 2010 -- <http://us.pycon.org/2010/>
===============================================================

Due date: October 1st, 2009

Want to showcase your skills as a Python Hacker? Want to have
hundreds of people see your talk on the subject of your choice? Have some
hot button issue you think the community needs to address, or have some
package, code or project you simply love talking about? Want to launch
your master plan to take over the world with python?

PyCon is your platform for getting the word out and teaching something
new to hundreds of people, face to face.

Previous PyCon conferences have had a broad range of presentations,
from reports on academic and commercial projects, tutorials on a broad
range of subjects and case studies. All conference speakers are volunteers
and come from a myriad of backgrounds. Some are new speakers, some
are old speakers. Everyone is welcome so bring your passion and your
code! We're looking to you to help us top the previous years of success
PyCon has had.

PyCon 2010 is looking for proposals to fill the formal presentation tracks.
The PyCon conference days will be February 19-22, 2010 in Atlanta,
Georgia, preceded by the tutorial days (February 17-18), and followed
by four days of development sprints (February 22-25).

Online proposal submission is open now! Proposals  will be accepted
through October 1st, with acceptance notifications coming out on
November 15th. For the detailed call for proposals, please see:
