SciPy 2012 (July 16-21) in Austin, TX, will have mini-symposia this year on meteorology and climate! See: http://conference.scipy.org/scipy2012/talks/index.php. Submissions for talks or posters are due by April 30, 2012.
Nick Barnes at the Climate Code Foundation (CCF) is putting together their Google Summer of Code (GSoC) application and was wondering if there were
(Python) project suggestions anyone might have. Here’s their page of current ideas:

The project would need to be able to be done by a student working 3-months full-time and would promote public understanding of climate science. If you’ve any ideas, for Python climate coding projects that can be done in a semester, please add them as comments. Thanks!
I’ve been at the UCAR/NCAR Software Engineering Conference in Boulder, CO since Tuesday; there have been a bunch of really neat talks, particularly about Agile programming. Once the talks are all posted online, I’ll talk more about some specific talks (I’ll also talk about some of the AMS Python Symposium talks once they’re available online in March), but for now, let me just mention a few links I’ve learned about: Continue reading
If you signed up for the PyAOS mailing list at AMS today, on the sign-up sheet in the session room, unfortunately I left for the airport before collecting the sheet, so I didn’t get it. I’m very sorry for the mistake. If you’d still like to join the mailing list, please see the mailing list page.
On February 21-23, 2012, UCAR/NCAR is “organizing a technical conference to keep software engineers up-to-date and to foster networking and collaboration within UCAR/NCAR and with our peer institutions.” See the website (where I took the quote from) for details:

They’re still accepting abstracts. Python talks are welcome.
Posting for Davide del Vento: Here’s an opening for a student intern interested in applying Python to supercomputing, at NCAR-CISL in Boulder, CO:

Taking a cue from PyCon 2011, Aman Thakral had the great idea to put together a list of folks interested in sharing a room at the AMS 2012 meeting (that the Python Symposium is part of) in New Orleans in January 2012. Fill-in your information on this Google Docs form for inclusion on the list of those interested in sharing a room.
The schedule for the Beginner’s Course is here, and the schedule for the Advanced Methods course is here. Links to all 2012 AMS Annual Meeting Short Courses are listed here.
