PyCon US CFP Q&A with Philippe—CFP open until December 18th!
PyCon US Conference Talk: Join Philippe for a Q&A on submitting proposals, learn about the two-step review process, and get tips on what reviewers look for in a successful talk submission.
- The PyCon US CFP is open until December 18th, with a two-step review process involving a blind evaluation and a bucketing step.
- The review committee looks for talks that cater to beginners, intermediate, and advanced audiences.
- A good proposal should provide details, rough timings, and a clear description of what the talk will cover.
- The talk submission process involves submitting a title, abstract, and outline, with reviewers evaluating talks based on these criteria.
- The outline should be a rough draft of the talk’s content, with rough timings provided.
- The abstract is a concise description of the talk, while the description is a longer summary of what the talk will cover.
- The review committee looks for talks that have a clear focus, and is not interested in talks that are too broad or generic.
- The committee also looks for diversity among speakers, including diversity of experience levels and topics.
- Submitters can choose to reserve a 25-minute or 45-minute talk slot, with 16 talks being allocated to each slot.
- The review process involves a championing step, where reviewers have the chance to champion different talks.
- Talks will be bucketed into different categories, with the committee looking for talks that are technically focused and relevant to the Python community.
- The deadline for travel grant applications is February 16th, with speakers prioritized for travel grants.
- The review committee welcomes experienced and beginner speakers alike, and encourages submitters to provide clear and concise proposals.
- The PyCon US website has examples of successful proposals and speaking guidelines for submitters.
