PyCon 2010 is the largest annual gathering for the community using and developing the open-source Python programming language.
PyCon 2010 is really three events in a row:
- Tutorial Days : Wednesday February 17 & Thursday February 18
Learn something new and relevant in intensive 3-hour sessions. The evenings are free for socializing and Open Space.
- Conference Days : Friday February 19 through Sunday February 21.
See what`s going on in the Python world, meet your fellow Pythonistas, share your knowledge and experience, make contacts, brainstorm projects, discuss prospects... the sky`s the limit.
- Scheduled talks will happen in the ballrooms. 5 tracks of talks and panels on a wide variety of topics will be presented, with something for everyone. Also we`ll have keynote talks every day.
- Open Space sessions : an "unconference" in parallel with the scheduled talks.
- Lightning talks are quick 5-minute talks that you can sign up for at the conference. In a word, lightning talks are FUN!
- A poster session is new this year.
- Expo Hall : Meet with representatives of companies using Python, supporting Python, and hiring Pythonistas. Snag some swag!
Many sponsors will be recruiting, so come prepared with business cards and resumes if you`re in the job market. You can also check out the Python Job Board for listings.
- And don`t forget the hallway track!
- Development Sprints : Monday February 22 through Thursday February 25.
Help advance your favorite project, including Python itself! We provide the space and the infrastructure (network, power, tables & chairs), you provide the enthusiasm and the brainpower. All experience levels welcome. The sprints are free!
