PyCon Italia Due: Florence, 9-11 May

PyCon Italia will be held from 9-11 May in Florence, Italy. If you or someone you know is interested in learning or helping others to learn Python better, this might be the best venue for the task. The call for papers is open now for the following areas (note: the list is not exhaustive but illustrative):

• vast and/or distributed applications written in Python;
• scientific and computationally intensive applications;
• interaction with other languages/environments, RPC, services;
• web programming and web frameworks;
• desktop programming and GUI toolkits;
• Python as "scripting" language (system housekeeping, COM, etc...);
• Python and databases;
• Python as educational language;

The links in the list are to illustrative content on this site.

Note also that you do not need to speak Italian to present a paper. The conference is using English as the international lingua franca, and the coordinators are trying to arrange real-time Italian-English translation for all sessions. In order to present a paper, however, you will need to brave a little Italian in the form of the submission form. Translation help can be found through Google.
