Python Ireland

Sometimes you think giving a talk back to the community would be a good idea, but you need a little inspiration to find something to talk about ? Here is a list of subject that could be interesting. Contact us if you want to add your ideas there. 

Talks for our monthly meetups usually come in the 30 minutes format plus a short Q&A session. You can of course extend up to 45 minutes if you feel like it. Talks can be about a variety of subjects:

• A personal hobby you achieved with python.
• A college/student project assignment you found interesting
• A library you've used and found useful, you want to share your experience.
• A particular problem that you solved using our favourite language.
• An advanced, deep insight into a particular aspect of the language.
• A library you wrote and want to present to the community.
• An algorithm you want to explain using python.
• A project your company has opensourced
• ....

We need talks for an audience of all levels. If you have a talk for beginners it's fantastic, if you have something for experts we'd love to hear about it.
