<p><a class="reference external" href="static/blog/pyladies-at-pycon-2012">As previously mentioned</a>, the PyLadies
are working with the PSF to ensure that PyLadies who want to attend
<a class="reference external" href="http://us.pycon.org/2012">PyCon 2012</a> can do so. To that end, we are
accepting <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEtUbUZxZWN6V3FGdkVydEtvU2ZwMUE6MQ">applications for grants to attend
PyCon</a>
in Santa Clara, CA from March 7-15.</p>
<p>Let's make PyCon as diverse as the Python Community as a whole -- if not
more! Many thanks to the PSF for partnering with us on this initiative.</p>
<p><strong>Attendees</strong>: If you are a female Python developer who wants to attend
but needs financial assistance in order to do so, please <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEtUbUZxZWN6V3FGdkVydEtvU2ZwMUE6MQ">fill out this
form</a>
as soon as possible.</p>
<p>The application period for this year has ended. If you have not received
a reply from us about the status of your application, please email
esther @ pyladies com immediately.</p>
<p><strong>Sponsors</strong>: If you are interested in providing financial assistance to
a budding Python developer in need, please contact esther @ pyladies.com</p>
<p><a class="reference external" href="static/blog/djangocon-sponsorship-program-results">We did something similar this past year for
DjangoCon</a>, and plan to
continue this program for as long as we can sustain it. If you can help
us, you will helping to change the community, and maybe even a couple of
lives!</p>
<div class="section" id="how-grant-recipients-will-be-chosen">
<h2>How grant recipients will be chosen</h2>
<p>Priority will be based on the following factors:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Genuine financial need</li>
<li>Talk proposal acceptance (those invited to speak at PyCon will have
higher priority)</li>
<li>Level of experience in programming</li>
<li>Contributions to open-source</li>
<li>Contributions to Python diversity advocacy efforts</li>
<li>Desire to attend</li>
<li>Impact that attendance will have on her life, especially for
first-time attendees</li>
</ul>
<p>Sponsors will receive:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>an email report from us about the person you're sponsoring, and why
you made the right decision</li>
<li>your link listed on a page that we'll be putting up for sponsors</li>
<li>your logo displayed on that page, if you donate substantially more
than others (amount TBD) and/or better placement</li>
<li>a personal guarantee from me that the PyLadies and I will mentor the
person you sponsored. We will help them through their Python career
and put friendly pressure on them to contribute to open-source =)</li>
