Melbourne Python folks, this one’s for you 👋
The Melbourne Python Meetup is back on Thursday 19 March at 5:30pm, and we'll will be there for a special talk writing workshop.
More details: www.meetup.com/en-au/melbou...
#Python #PyConAU #MelbournePython
We want everyone to be able to craft an interesting and entertaining talk that enthralls the audience, without missing the mark on the intended impact of any jokes.
Please give this a read if you intend on using memes, jokes or satire in your proposals to #pyconau

A surprisingly large amount of background work went into our decision to… not change ticket prices this year at #pyconau. Thats in spite of rising costs and general inflation.
If you've ever wondered "why does it cost that much", this post is for you.

Tickets are selling so fast, we sold out of blind bird tickets a month early! So we're extending the discount until midnight tonight!
If you were procrastinating your #pyconau registration then TODAY is the day!
Save $50 by registering your ticket before midnight tonight!

I really love this reframing! Mind if I weave it into our upcoming workshops for #pyconau CFP? I think it’s a really kind-to-yourself way of approaching it and I hope new and first time submitters aren’t put off by a rejection!

They’re hands-on and help you brainstorm, structure, and write stronger proposals.
