This might be an "obvious" question but where is the list of talks or call for authors?

#12This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while when it comes to conference. As someone with a young family, I cringe when I have to think about going to another city for a conference, which is all the time because I live in Cleveland. Its not the travel, I rather like traveling: its leaving the wife with the kids and just up and going. This allows me to take the kids and wife, and not feel too bad about abandoning th…
This is exactly why I'm organizing it. I have two kids (and a husband who likes to have me around), and it's always a bit of chaos when I leave for a conference.
Daycare really peeked my interest as well.

#13http://www.pycruise.com/coc.html Am I the only one here who finds these do more harm than good? I specifically avoid cons to boycott this political correctness. Its also a slap in the face to the maturity of python developers. I'm offended to read it. Frankly, I don't want my pic blasted around the world for a joke.
Sadly you are not likely the only one. Happily your opinion is very much in the minority.

It's fine if you're offended by it - this means you're exactly the sort of developers conferences want to filter. Raising a good community is extremely challenging, lots of people feel excluded and making an inclusive conference is an extremely challenging task - it's also super important for the atmosphere.
> you're exactly the sort of developers conferences want to filter
I would hope conferences want to filter actual harrassers, not people who feel uneasy about the slight social engineering and censorship undertones of Codes of Conduct.

My kids both love the programs available, and they go all the way up to 17. For the teens, the format is about hanging out, and for the older teens, they even have exclusive excursions.

Inclusiveness, on the other hand, could be viewed as tolerating expression.

Where does that CoC suggest inflaming social media mobs?
I will treat this as if you don't know. Look on github at pycon code of conduct. See adria Richards in the logs? Look up the blog post where they pulled the pycon code of conduct from geekfeminism wiki. Lives have been ruined, in part because the integrity of these projects are being lost to outside pressures distracting us from accomplishing technical goals. Python community is and has been open and diverse. We even…
You mean here?

All I see that is even remotely related to the dongle incident are the commits like this one, asking attendees to bring issues to the conference staff:

It's going to be an 'Open Space' style conference, so there will be a call for Open Space themes later on.

#20Pretty cool. Ever since going solo I've wondered why more development conferences aren't in tropical locations so it can double as a vacation :-)
I worked at an agency that did work for pharmaceutical companies and doctors/med salespeople do this all the time! There were a couple of jobs in Punta Cana, DR alone each year.
