ipython / notebook demo
(20 Minutes)
By: Jason Wirth
ipython was a big focus of Scipy, Fernando gave a keynote, Brian gave a talk, and there was a tutorial. ipython appeals to a broad audience from beginners to advanced users. IDLE is awful and I basically learned Python using iPython. Presenter will touch on the powerful features and extensibility for advanced users.

Ultimate Language Shootout IV: Haskell or: How a List Comprehension Is Like a Burrito
(5 Minutes)
By: Greg Kettler
It's a compiled, statically typed, lazy, purely functional programming language. About as far as possible from Python? Not quite. The languages have a lot in common and Python has already borrowed a few tricks from Haskell.

Who saved The Onion, from being hacked by "Syrian Electronic Army"
(5 Minutes)
By: Sean Bloomfield
Well, this isn't at all Python related (or even all that technical), but at The Onion, we recently had a little run-in with the "hackers" from the "Syrian Electronic Army", and could talk about some lessons learned from that, if there's any interest.

Threadless Loves Python
By: Mike Steder
In the last year the Threadless engineering department has almost completely changed from PHP and MySQL to Python and MongoDB. I would like to do a brief overview of how we use Python today which will cover our replatformed website, our API, and our internal message queuing system.

Python Deployments at The Onion (and elsewhere)
(30 Minutes)
By: Chris Sinchok
Chris will cover various Python deployment strategies and technologies, ranging from the naïve (git pull) to the more robust (fabric, capistrano) to the "Enterprise" (Python native package deployments, etc). In order to illustrate these different strategies and technologies, he will take examples from my past projects, and the constantly-evolving Onion deploy process.
