9:57p	PyCon 2015: Call for Proposals is open On the Montréal-Python blog, Mathieu Leduc-Hamel has announced that the 2015 PyCon Call for Proposals (CFP) is now open. The conference will be held in Montréal April 8–16, 2015; CFPs will be accepted until September 15. "There are likely 95 talk slots to fill, assuming we keep the usual balance of 30/45 minute slots the same, and we'll have room for 32 tutorials. This makes for some steep competition given the potential to reach over 600 talk proposals, while seeing three to four times as many tutorial proposals as available slots. While proposals will be accepted through September 15, we encourage submissions as early as possible, allowing reviewers more time to assess and provide feedback which may prove beneficial as the various rounds of review begin."
