Call for Proposals
Do you want to share your experience and expertise? PyCon Uruguay 2012 is looking for proposals to fill the conference presentation tracks. This meeting is scheduled for Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 of November at the LATU Conference Center in Montevideo, Uruguay.
Proposals can be one of two kinds, traditional talks or sprints. It's planned that all presentations will take place on Saturday 10 and only one coding sprint (hackaton) on Sunday 11 of November.
Presentation subjects may range from reports on open source, academic or commercial projects to tutorials and case studies. As long as a presentation is interesting and potentially useful to the Python community, it will be considered for inclusion in the program.
We're especially interested in short presentations that will teach conference-goers something new and useful. Can you show attendees how to use a module? Explore a Python language feature? Package an application? We'd love to hear from you!
If you have any questions, please review the information below or contact the PyCon Uruguay Program Committee at <programa@python.org.uy>.
Important Dates
Call for Proposals opens: August 29, 2012
Proposal submission deadline: October 1, 2012
Proposal acceptance: October 10, 2012

Talk Format
The preferred length for talks is 30 minutes. You can request a 45-minute extended slot, but proposals requiring 45 minutes will be reviewed more stringently. 45-minute slots are, as a rule of thumb, reserved for how-to talks rather than talks about things you made, saw, or did.
Session lengths include time for audience questions. You should budget at least five minutes for questions; for example, a 30-minute talk will be 25 minutes of presentation and 5 minutes of questions.
Presentation Recording
We hope to record presentations, though this is pending sponsorship support and not confirmed.
If you do not wish to have your talk recorded please note this in your submission. Doing so will not influence the selection process in any way.
How to Submit
Use the PyCon Uruguay Online Proposal Submission system to send us your proposals <link>. You must first create an account on the website (and be logged in) in order to submit a proposal.
The primary author should submit the proposal. Additional authors can be added to a proposal on request (they must have accounts too).

Paper Publication
We would prefer that papers for standard length talks (30 minutes) be no more than 5 A4 pages of 11-point type with reasonable margins and papers for long talks (45 minutes) be no more than 10 pages. Appropriate file formats include any file that can be read with Open Office (which includes plain text and HTML with minimal mark-up) or a PDF viewer.
