propaganda #16

Closed chiesax closed 8 years ago

As soon as we have better defined how the conference will be organized, we should start doing some sort of publicity of the event.

Ideas:

By the way for the issue of having more females, we may think about contacting DjangoGirls and PythonLadies...

dbrgn commented 9 years ago

Regarding your last comment, yes, maybe they have contacts in Switzerland.

chiesax commented 9 years ago

I have sent an email to PyLadies with a link to https://swisspy.github.io/. For DjangoGirls, I have not found any contact. It is however possible to publish events on their site https://djangogirls.org/community/meetups. The only condition is to have a code of conduct (which for the moment we do not have). So lets wait...

I have looked a bit, seems that we may print

I could hang up some posters and help with flyer distribution around the ETH/UZH (I am an ETH student).

jakeret commented 9 years ago

I'm going to write an email to all the professors in the ETH Physics department that are using Python in their group. Eventually they will promote the event further to the guys at CERN and EPFL.

As soon as the poster (#20) is finalized I will try to convince the administration in the various institutes to hang it up.

Furthermore, I know somebody who is willing to promote the conference in the debian community for us. Aparently, the guys from opendata.ch like Python. I will contact them as well

Sounds great! +1

Hi, about my comment in (#20) of compiling a list of contacts of companies/schools for bulk e-mail, what do you think about it? Should I start? My idea is to start collecting job offers mentioning python, which will give a list of companies using python... For the schools, I will iterate over cantons...

This sounds like an accurate description of automated spam... let's do it...

As for the email text: I will probably have to add a sentence to "warn" my recipients that the conference is not going to be very scientific but rather for devs (guess this is going to depend on the selection of talks).

Yes, that will probably be the case. It's a general developer conference, not science-specific.

Anyone against pushing and sharing this list as a CSV on the "swisspycon" public repository?

Misc. things FYI:

  1. I've just wrote another announcement here: http://www.geowebforum.ch/thread.php?postingID=3237#3237
  2. It seems that my colleagues from FHNW/Muttenz have had a similar idea of an event: 22.-24. Juni 2016: GeoPython-Konferenz 2016: http://www.geopython.net/ https://twitter.com/GeoPythonConf/status/664393726882684928

We could contact the people that added themselves as collaborators to point them to this ticket, so that they do some promotion of the conference in their circles. Here the links to the posters for reference:

47 people already signed up, I think that's very good so far! :) Of these, 7 are HSR students.

chiesax commented 8 years ago

Yes that's a good idea. I'll contact them by email.

Done. Guess some PhD students will sign up

dbrgn commented 8 years ago

As we're booked out, I think we can close this.
