North Bay Python is a two-day, single-track Python conference held in the
|
|
Mystic Theatre in Historic Downtown Petaluma, California, held over the
|
|
weekend of December 2 & 3, 2017.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We're a nonprofit conference for professionals, enthusiasts and students
|
|
alike; we're focused on inclusion, accessibility, diversity, and
|
|
affordability; and we're planning a great lineup of talks from all over the
|
|
Python ecosystem, with plenty of time to meet new people and
|
|
develop new ideas too.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Our venue, the historic Mystic Theatre in Downtown Petaluma, is a
|
|
beautiful example of an early 1900s Vaudeville theatre, and it's a short walk
|
|
away from over fifty different food and drink options in Downtown Petaluma,
|
|
as well as several different hotels, the closest of which is only a block away.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>The Conference</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
North Bay Python is a single-track conference, with a carefully curated set
|
|
of talks representing the truly diverse Python community and their different
|
|
areas of interest.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If a topic is less to your interest, or you've met some people you really
|
|
want to sit down and chat with, we'll have plenty of areas
|
|
away from the main theatre to catch up and chat as well.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Petaluma, California</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
North Bay Python's home is Petaluma, a delightfully quaint dairy town,
|
|
nestled on a river at the southern edge of California's Wine Country. We've
|
|
got beautiful scenery right on our doorstep, and we're less than an hour's
|
|
drive from San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Mystic is not the only local example of early 1900s architecture, either;
|
|
downtown is full of historic buildings, and it's at the center of the
|
|
maker movement and a thriving craft brewery scene.
|
|

<h3>Getting here</h3>
|
|
|
|
<h4>By car</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you're driving up, Downtown Petaluma is at exit 472 on Highway 101, 35
|
|
miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. All parking is free in Petaluma,
|
|
including in the undercover garages at Keller St and Theatre Square, both
|
|
are in short walking distance of the Mystic.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>By bus</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Public transit to Petaluma is not great. You can take the 101 bus operated
|
|
by Golden Gate Transit from downtown San Francisco, or south from Santa Rosa.
|
|
Depending on sponsorship, we hope to run a free shuttle with BART and
|
|
Caltrain connections for people from further out of town.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>By plane</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you're coming from out of the area, you may want to consider Sonoma County
|
|
Airport (STS) – it's 30 minutess out of Petaluma, and has nonstop
|
|
flights to most major west coast cities. If you can't make it to STS, you can
|
|
also try San Francisco (SFO) or Oakland (OAK) international airports.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Staying here</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Petaluma, as well as being a place where people live, also has hotels! We're
|
|
arranging deals with some of the best local hotels in the area – the
|
|
closest is just one block away. We'll share details of our hotel deals with
|
|
you when conference tickets go on sale.
