1. A Talk on Giving a Pythonic Talk 
Xan Vongsathorn, Catherine Vongsathorn

Xan Vongsathorn and Catherine Vongsathorn will be giving a talk about talks. It turns out that many of python's core principles apply very well to presentations -- or for that matter, communication more generally -- which may be why we like python so much. Xan and Catherine want to get people excited not only about giving talks but also about using them to *actually communicate*. You don’t have to be an expert, nor do you need natural talent, to give a good talk; this metatalk will discuss guiding principles that set effective presentations apart and can be applied to any technical talk.

2. From Code to Coffee Table with Blender and Sly
Matt Meshulam

I've been developing a Python library for turning 3D models into CNC-machinable parts. I will demonstrate the basics of the library and how I used it to build a wood coffee table.
