pyTexas will be on Oct 24-25 in Fort Worth. The organizers need those
of you who are planning to attend to register. Brad from Dallas writes
"Registration is free but we need to know approximately how many
people are coming. If you are tentative please join the pyTexas
mailing list (linked from the registration page) and let us know. We
need to know in advance how many people will attend, since each
attendee will need a separate wireless network account."

There is a good lineup of talks for Saturday with two tracks. They
still have slots open if you want to announce a talk in advance.

They expect some last minute 'unconference'-style talks which are
represented in the schedule as 'Open Space' slots.

Sunday is given over to two tracks.
One track is coding sprints. So far, the only sprint we know about is
on Pyglet and Miru.

The other track is a Python Lab where people can learn and hone their
skills by collaboratively solving puzzles. Newbies are welcome!

Also anyone who is not on the Te...@python.org mailing list should
sign up. This low traffic list is the primary source for announcements
like this.

Brad from Dallas also writes: "Due to lack of advance marketing only
11 people so far have confirmed that they will attend, but we know
about a few tentative attendees and expect more registrants in the
coming days. Most of the attendees are experienced Python programmers
and some have volunteered to teach for the Beginner's Track, but we
are not yet sure if we'll have any newbies attending the beginner's
track."
