Announcing PyTexas 2013


I would like to announce the formation of the PyTexas 2013 Committee!  A meeting was held Monday (2/18) and 6 people volunteered to be on the committee this year.

We are excited about the possibilities this year and are hoping to make this the largest PyTexas yet.

The conference will be held at College Station, Texas at Texas A&M again this year, with 28-29, Oct. 5-6 and Oct. 12-13 as possible dates.  If anyone knows of possible conflicts let us know at: conference@pytexas.net.

We have created several email addresses to facilitate quick communication.  At the top the conference chair can be reached at, chair@pytexas.net.

Speaking proposals, and the questions about the conference schedule should be emailed to programming@pytexas.net.

For anything related to the promotion of the conference, such as this blog, twitter, community outreach etc... email promotion@pytexas.net.

Sponsors, or anyone needing to discuss sponsorship should use sponsorship@pytexas.net.

For any questions regarding the venue contact venue@pytexas.net.

Any other correspondence can be directed to conference@pytexas.net.

Over the next few weeks we will be finishing the Sponsorship Prospectus, choosing the date for the conference and calling for proposals.  We will be posting about these things on this blog, on twitter @PyTexas, on the Texas Python mailing list, as well as on the PyTexas.org website.
