Workshop: Talk Proposal Writing for PyCon 2013


Details
Ladies! Ever thought about speaking? Want to give speaking at PyCon a shot, but not sure what to talk about?
Even if you have a tiny inkling that you'd want to speak, beginner level or advanced, come to our workshop to get help brainstorming ideas & learn what makes a good proposal!
Join us with help from previous years PyCon speakers & current Program Committee members (e.g. the folks that review proposals) to ideate, write, and submit your proposal to speak, give a tutorial, or a poster session at PyCon 2013.
