The SciPy 2015 call for proposals is open until April 1. In case anyone wants to give a talk but doesn’t have an idea I came up with a few:

• introduction to testing with a focus on numerics
• guide to profiling
• introduction to packaging and distribution
• scidb
• xray
• bcolz
• which tool to use for which job (cover core packages)
• data visualization options
• write a numpy ufunc in Python, Cython, and C
• roundup of high-performance options (C, Cython, Numba, Parakeet, etc.)

Thanks to Rob Story for some suggestions. If you’ve got ideas for talks you’d like to see, leave a comment!

(I will be at SciPy 2015, but I’m organizing a Software Carpentry tutorial so I probably won’t be submitting a talk proposal.)

P.S. If you’re a first-time speaker from an underrepresented group thinking about giving a talk at SciPy 2015, I’m offering to help with proposal editing and talk prep.
