The deadline for submissions to PyCon DC 2003 appears to have been too tight for many authors. While some promised submissions have arrived, several have not even though the original deadline of 15 December has passed. Rather than exclude promising papers the organizing committee has decided to extend the deadline for submissions. Accordingly, the new schedule for proposals is as follows: Submission Deadline: January 15, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: January 31, 2003 Final Versions Due: March 10, 2003 Conference Dates: March 26-28, 2003 [unchanged] Authors who have already submitted abstracts are invited to resubmit if they feel that the original deadline had an adverse effect on the quality of their submissions. Please make any appropriate media, mailing lists and newsgroups aware of this announcement. Enquiries should be sent in the first instance to pycondc-2003@python.org. Information about PyCon DC 2003 is available at the following URLs: www.python.org/pycon www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/PyCon The latter URL, a Wiki page, can also be used to communicate with the conference organizers. This is *your* conference: tell us what *you* want to see in it. regards ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Holden http://www.holdenweb.com/ Python Web Programming http://pydish.holdenweb.com/pwp/ Bring your musical instrument to PyCon! http://www.python.org/pycon/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------
