PyCon Talk Proposal
A little over a year ago, frustration with the state of image processing in
Python led me to start a project called pymaging. Pymaging is a pure Python
image processing library that works on Python 2.x and 3.x. This talk will dive
into why I started this project, how I dug into the problems, what I learned
about image formats and my goals for the future of this project.
A little over a year ago, I had no clue how images on computers actually
worked. Nevertheless, frustration with the current state of image processing in
Python and curiosity led me to starting a project called pymaging. This project
aims to become a pure Python image processing library that works on Python 2.x
and 3.x. Currently, that goal is only partially achieved with pymaging
supporting decoding for three formats and encoding in one, as well as a few
high level APIs to do common tasks. This talk will dive into why I started this
project, how I dug into the problems, what I learned about image formats and my
goals for the future of the project.
This talk will cover the following points:
* My background and why I started pymaging (5 minutes)
* How I approached this, for me completely new, topic (5 minute)
* The current state of pymaging (3 minutes)
* Benefits and drawbacks of using pure Python for image processing (7 minutes)
* How I maintain Python 2 and Python 3 support in the same codebase (3 minutes)
* Lessons I've learned building this library (10 minutes)
* The future of pymaging and imaging in Python (7 minutes)
Purely Python Imaging with Pymaging

have you looked at descriptions from pycon 2012 for inspiration?

shorter brief outline (you can add the missing details in the description): "A little over a year ago, frustration with the state of image processing in Python led me to start a project called pymaging.
