PyTexas

About This Site

This site acts as the primary public facing website to the PyTexas Conference. It is built using the same Python-based Django/Pinax Symposion software used to create the US PyCon 2011 website, as well as DjangoCon 2011 and PyOhio 2011. This will enable us to soon start enabling many of the same features as those websites, most importantly the talk schedule.

Thanks go to Glen Zangirolami for all the technical setup of putting this site together, including creating developer environment VirtualBox machines to make it easy for others to contribute and test changes. Let us know if you're interested in helping out! (post to the PyTexas mailing list).

Brad Allen is responsible for the site content, but is looking for volunteers to help out. Please contact him if you're interested!

Finally, thanks go to RackSpace for agreeing to donate RackSpace Cloud Server resources to host the PyTexas site.

About the Registration and Survey Forms

The forms on this site are built using Google Docs, which means any data you fill out will be stored on Google servers. We're using Google Doc forms as a "good enough" tool to reduce effort on the part of PyTexas organizers.

A note about email addresses: your email address will be kept private, only accessible to a limited number of PyTexas organizers at the discretion of the chairman (Brad Allen). Your email address will be utilized as a unique key across surveys; please try to be consistent and use only a single email address on all the surveys, or when updating the survey. If you make a mistake on this, please contact Brad Allen.
