I'm going to PyCon

I registered yesterday for PyCon, after getting my Travel Authorization approved just in time to still get the "early" rate (which ended yesterday).

I'm going to be there for the tutorials (all three)--since this is my first PyCon I want to get as much as possible out of it. I chose:

• Secrets of the Framework Creators (which I see is now full)
  
• Generator Tricks for Systems Programmers
• Django Code Lab

Sometime (in the next three weeks) I'll have to start planning on which sessions I'll attend.

Also (in the spirit of getting as much as possible out of it--and giving something back) I'm going to stay for the sprints. I'll almost certainly be joining the Django sprint, since I've begun using it at my day job (and for personal projects). This should be a good opportunity to learn a lot more about Django. I'll need to read Contributing to Django and follow the instructions in Preparing For The Next Django Sprint (which I heard about out about on the This Week in Django podcast #11).
