Looks like I won’t be speaking at #pycon this year folks. That's 0/8 talks (accepted / submitted) over the years. You'd think just by the numbers one of them would have made it in. Oh well. Here are my 3 talks that were not accepted. #python
* 20+ Cutting Edge Python Frameworks, Packages, and Tools You Should Know About
* Python's Types: 5 Amazing Ways Python Type Hints Will Supercharge Your Code
* HTMX + Flask: Modern Python Web Apps, Hold the JavaScript
For all three talks, this is all they bothered to reply.
Organizer: The proposal was rejected.
Given the reception of many of these talks at other conferences that were so well received, I get the feeling they think I have a big enough platform with Talk Python. They don't care to give me more airtime and would rather just say no. It's pretty poor form on their part.
@mkennedy Do you ever make your proposals publicly available? I have never been on the PyCon committee, but I would be willing to take a look and give an opinion.
I usually get a talk in, though I don’t know how much of that is from being good at writing proposals and how much of it is other factors (choice of topic, track record as a speaker, position in the community, etc).
This is the proposal that I got accepted this year: https://gitlab.com/pganssle/proposals/-/blob/master/pytest-unittest/2023-pycon-us-pytest-unittest.md?ref_type=heads
It was rejected last year on favor of this one: https://gitlab.com/pganssle/proposals/-/blob/master/datetime/2023-pycon-us-working-with-timezones-redux.md?ref_type=heads
The year before that I gave this talk: https://gitlab.com/pganssle/proposals/-/blob/master/upstream_bugs/2020-pycon-upstream-bugs.md?ref_type=heads
(Originally scheduled for 2020)
@pganssle These example proposals are great! Just want to say quick thanks for sharing. 😄
