| 8 | +## Everyone is welcome here |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +This is a community-made, volunteer-led event, and we want the stage to look like the community: all levels, all backgrounds, all kinds of Python. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +- Never spoken before? Good - we're actively looking for first-time speakers, and the form even asks so we can make sure there's room for you. |
| 13 | +- Not sure you're "technical enough"? A fresh perspective is exactly what makes a talk worth watching. |
| 14 | +- Making art, music, or games with Python instead of shipping production code? That counts too - bring it. |
| 15 | +- Feel like an imposter? So does most of the room, including some of us organizing this. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +If any of that sounds like you, that's your sign to submit. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## What we're looking for |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Each talk is **10 minutes long**, with no time set aside for questions. We love practical, experience-driven sessions - the kind where you share what you actually built, broke, or learned. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## Topics |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Bring whatever you're excited about. The form groups submissions into: |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +- Python Core, Internals & Extensions |
| 28 | +- Web Development & APIs |
| 29 | +- Data Science, ML & Analytics |
| 30 | +- Cloud, DevOps & Infrastructure |
| 31 | +- Developer Tooling, Testing & Productivity |
| 32 | +- Community, Education & Career Growth |
| 33 | +- Ethics, Sustainability & Social Impact |
| 34 | +- Python for Fun: Games, Art & Creative Coding |
| 35 | +- Other Topics |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Language |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +We'll run the event mainly in **English**. As a small experiment for this first edition, we're also opening a limited number of slots for talks in **Turkish** - if that's your preference, give it a shot too. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Writing a good 10-minute proposal |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +Ten minutes isn't a lot of runway, so the proposals that land best are the ones built around one clear idea rather than a whole topic. A structure that works: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +- **The problem.** What were you actually stuck on, curious about, or trying to fix? Start here, not with the solution - it's what makes people want to know what happens next. |
| 46 | +- **Why it matters.** Is this something a lot of Python developers hit, or a strange corner most people never see? Either is a great hook, as long as you tell us why you cared. |
| 47 | +- **Your take.** What did you find, build, or figure out? This is the actual content of your talk. |
| 48 | +- **What people leave with.** One thing the audience should remember or go try tomorrow. If you can name that thing, your talk has a spine. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +You don't need slides or a finished project to submit - just a clear sense of what you'd say in ten minutes. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +## What you'll need |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +- A title (10-75 characters) and an abstract (250-3000 characters) |
| 55 | +- Your topic and language of choice |
| 56 | +- Co-speaker details, if any - one submission covers your whole team, no need for them to submit separately |
| 57 | +- Whether you're okay with your talk being recorded |
| 58 | +- Any special AV or accessibility needs |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## About AI-assisted proposals |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Used an LLM to help polish your abstract? Just note it in the additional info field. Fully AI-generated proposals tend to read as generic, so we'd rather see your own voice come through. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## The honest bits |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +This is our first edition, so we're not able to cover **travel, accommodation, or visa costs** this time around. Please keep that in mind before submitting. We're also expecting speakers to attend in person, so the form asks about that too. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +## Before you submit |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +Please make sure you're comfortable with our <a href="/#coc">Code of Conduct</a> and <a href="/privacy-policy/">Privacy Policy</a>. Your submission is collected via Google Forms and processed via Google Drive, hosted outside Turkey. |
