The PyCon organizing committee has started making plans for PyCon US
2011, to be held in Atlanta, GA on March 9-17 of next year. One of
the first steps is ensuring that the conference committee leadership
is in place.
Van Lindberg returns as Conference Chair this year. Van manages
all of the activities related to running PyCon US, including
organizing the volunteer and paid efforts.
This year Jesse Noller will be assisting Van as Vice Chair. Jesse's
primary responsibility is serving as the Program Committee Chair, but
he will work with Van in other areas as well.
Doug Napoleone will be the Technical Chair. He is overseeing the
redevelopment of the PyCon web site, including the talk selection and
schedule management software. Doug will also be responsible for
coordinating the technical vendors for the conference, including A/V,
networking, and recording.
Greg Lindstrom is returning as Tutorials Coordinator. Greg has been
organizing tutorials for a number of years, and his patience and skill
have been a big factor in the successful tutorial program that has
grown from eight tutorials several years ago to the 32 sessions we
regularly have now.
Vern Ceder is returning for a second year as Poster Sessions
Coordinator. The poster sessions were one of the big hits at PyCon
2010, and we expect
that they will be much bigger for 2011.
Volunteering
Although having good leadership is important, five people cannot
organize a conference as big as PyCon. The organizing committee
depends on the participation of dozens of volunteers from the
community to do most of the work. If you would like to help,
join the PyCon organizers mailing list and follow the blog to keep up with other announcements.
