SciPy.in 2011 coming soon to IIT Bombay


If you aren't aware of it yet, SciPy.in 2011 is just round the corner.
This year it is going to be held at IIT Bombay's new Victor Menezes
Convention Center (VMCC).  We have conference talks on 4th and 5th and
tutorials on 6th and 7th.  We have invited several key people from
the "scientific computing with Python" community.  We have an awesome set
of talks and tutorials.  Eric Jones from Enthought is our keynote
speaker.

In 2009 and 2010 we did workshops on basic scientific computing with
Python.  This year our tutorial track features several advanced topics
including, image processing, machine learning, symbolic computing,
mapping and geoprocessing, Traits/TraitsUI, Mayavi, Sage and Cython.

If you wish to attend the conference,  feel free to drop in and attend,
free of cost -- but you'll miss out on the awesome food, t-shirt and
other goodies if you do not register.  It would be best if you did
register though.

The main organizers of SciPy.in 2011 are FOSSEE.  Enthought (India) is
also helping organize the conference.  MHRD and Enthought are our
financial sponsors and we are grateful to them for their continued
support.

Given the nature of the talks, the tutorials, the location, you are
going to miss out if you choose to not attend.  Register before 2nd to
avail of reduced rates.  Spot registration is certainly available but is more
expensive.
