<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 and at the intersection of Sonoma, Napa, and Marin Counties. This three county region, which makes up the North Bay, is famous for its parkland, forests, agriculture, fine food, wine, beer, and spirits.</p>
 

	
 
<p>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>Our venue, The Mystic Theatre, is not the only local example of early 1900s architecture, either: Downtown is full of great examples of Victorian-era buildings that survived the 1906 earthquake. Just down the road, you'll find the center of the maker movement and a thriving craft brewery scene.</p>
 

	
 
<p>From family-friendly hikes to museums, wine tours to windswept beaches, and lots of kid-friendly attractions, there's a lot to do in see in the region. We encourage attendees to bring their families and extend their stay beyond the conference!</p>
 

	
 

	
 
<h2>Travel and Lodging</h2>
 

	
 
<p>The Golden Gate Bridge is well-known to San Franciscans as being approximately 8,000 miles long and shrouded in fog, so few ever cross up into the North Bay. Happily, the drive north is easy and it can be swift. There are many ways to get to Petaluma, we've covered driving, public transit, and flights on the <a href="/attend/travel">How to Get Here</a> page.</p>

<h2>How to Get Here<a name="transit"></a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>How you get here depends, naturally, on where you're coming from. Broadly, your options are: <a href="/go/fly">flying</a>, cab rides, public transit, ride sharing apps, or renting a car.</p>
 

	
 
<h3>Public Transit</h3>
 

	
 
<p>Public transit to Petaluma is currently not great. You can take the <a href="http://goldengatetransit.org/schedules/current/route_101.php">101 bus operated by Golden Gate Transit</a> 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>
 

	
 
<p><a href="https://sonomamarintrain.org">SMART</a>, the new train service that runs along the 101 corridor, recently started operations. SMART is not suitable for getting to North Bay Python if you travel on weekends, as the first train leaves after proceedings start. SMART may be a better option than taking the bus between San Rafael and Petaluma if you travel up on weekdays.</p>
 

	
 
<h3>Driving and Carpooling</h3>
 

	
 
<p>If you're driving up, downtown Petaluma is at exit 472A on Highway 101, 35 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge.</p>
 

	
 
<p>All parking is free in Petaluma, however near the Mystic, street-level parking is time-limited. All-day parking is available at street level west of 5th St (towards 6th St), and at the the undercover garages at Theatre Square and at <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Keller+Street+Parking+Garage">Keller St</a>. Both garages are in short walking distance of the Mystic.</p>
 

	
 
<h2>Scheduling Your Visit<a name="scheduling"></a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>All the official events will take place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, from November 1st to 3rd. On Friday, we'll only have events in the evening. On Saturday and Sunday, events will run morning through evening, with the core conference going from 10:00am to 6:00pm.</p>
 

	
 
<p>If you live in the North Bay, we encourage you to join us for events all three days. If you live further afield, you may want to skip Friday and only join us on Saturday and Sunday.</p>
 

	
 
<h2>Food and Activities<a name="food-and-activities"></a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Petaluma is right at the intersection of Sonoma, Napa, and Marin Counties. This three county region, which makes up the North Bay, is famous for its parkland, forests, agriculture, fine food, wine, beer, and spirits.</p>
 

	
 
<p>We've prepared a <a href="/food">food guide</a> which will help you find good eats in Petaluma, but if you're sticking around beyond the conference, you'll want to check out your favorite food or restaurant guide. We've also put together a <a href="/attend/transit">transit guide</a> to help you get around town once you're here.</p>
 

	
 
<p>From family-friendly hikes to museums, wine tours to wind swept beaches, and lots of kid-friendly attractions, we encourage folks to bring their families along! We will offer free childcare for kids from 6 months to 12 years of age during the conference.</p>
 

	
 
<h2>Financial Aid<a name="financial-aid"></a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>If your employer isn't paying for you to attend North Bay Python, then you should apply for financial aid. If money is the reason you're considering day tripping to North Bay Python, rather than staying at one of the hotels, then you should definitely apply for financial aid.</p>
 

	
 
<p>We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and our priority is accessibility. Our goal is for attending North Bay Python to cost about as much as staying home. Learn more about our <a href="/financial-aid">financial aid</a> program, including application process, timelines, and policies. Don't worry, it's easier than it sounds!</p>

<h2><em>All</em> of the Airports<a name="airports"></a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>You can get to Petaluma from any of six airports, three of which we recommend, one of which is <em>very</em> convenient if it's an option for you:</p>
 

	
 
<h3>Santa Rosa (STS)</h3>
 

	
 
<p>Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport, in Santa Rosa, is just 25 miles away from the venue and offers the convenience of a small regional airport. With short lines, short walks, Snoopy statues, and the shortest distance from the venue, this is our #1 recommendation.</p>
 

	
 
<p>You can get to and from the airport in about 30 minutes with a <a href="https://sonomacountyairport.org/passengers/ground-transportation/#taxiorshuttle">taxi cab</a>, <a href="https://sonomacountyairport.org/passengers/ground-transportation/#busandtransit">bus</a>, or <a href="https://sonomacountyairport.org/passengers/ground-transportation/#smart">train with a short cab ride</a>. You could <a href="https://sonomacountyairport.org/passengers/ground-transportation/#carrental">rent a car</a>, but you won't need it unless you're planning to explore the North Bay while you're in town.</p>
 

	
 
<p>You can fly into Santa Rosa through many airports, including: Portland (PDX), Los Angeles (LAX), Seattle (SEA), San Diego(SAN), Santa Ana (SNA), Phoenix (PHX), Dallas (DFW), Denver (DEN), and Minneapolis (MSP). You <em>could</em> fly from San Francisco (SFO) if you really wanted to, but we don't recommend it!</p>
 

	
 
<h3>Oakland (OAK) and San Francisco (SFO)</h3>
 

	
 
<p>The airports in Oakland and San Francisco are about 50 miles away from the venue and have many more connecting flights. Because of their distance from the venue, travel times are very subject to freeway traffic and can range from 60 to 90 minutes. Upon arrival, we recommend taking the <a href="https://airportexpressinc.com/schedule.php">express bus</a>; it's faster and cheaper than weaving together public transit systems to get here.</p>
 

	
 
<h3>Sacramento (SMF) or San Jose (SJC)</h3>
 
<p>The airports in Sacramento and San Jose are about 85 miles away from the venue and aren't recommended, but are options available to you. You'll probably need to rent a car.</li>
 

	
 
<h3>Petaluma (O69)</h3>
 
<p>If you happen to be a pilot, or be willing to charter a flight, you can flight directly into town through <a href="https://cityofpetaluma.net/pubworks/airport.html">Petaluma Municipal Airport</a>!</p>
 

	
 
<h2>From Airport to Petaluma<a name="transit"></a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>How you get to Petaluma from the airport depends, naturally, on which airport you're flying into. Per airport details are provided above, but broadly your options are: cab rides, express shuttles, public transit, ride sharing apps, or renting a car.</p>
 

	
 
<p>Depending on which airport you use, you'll be in town within 30 to 90 minutes. If you need to park a car, take note: all parking is free in Petaluma, however street-level praking is time-limited near the venue. All-day parking is available at street level west of 5th Street (towards 6th Street), and at the garages at Theatre Square and at <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Keller+Street+Parking+Garage">Keller St</a>. Both garages are in short walking distance of the venue.</p>
 

	
 
<h2>Lodging and Accommodation<a name="lodging"></a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>You'll probably want to stay at one of the hotels in Petaluma, but there are options nearby in Rohnert Park, or in Sonoma Valley if you'd like an extra dose of scenery. If you're feeling adventurous, you could even stay out on the coast in Bodega Bay or up in Santa Rosa. But staying in Petaluma near the venue means you'll have a very walkable weekend; you won't need to worry about driving or getting rides at all!</p>
 

	
 
<p>Check out our <a href="/attend/hotels">Where to Stay</a> page for more details on hotels and other options, including links to discounted rooms.</p>
 

	
 
<h2>Scheduling Your Visit<a name="scheduling"></a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>All the official events will take place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, from November 1st to 3rd, so we recommend you arrive Friday afternoon (at the latest) and depart on Sunday evening (at the earliest).</p>
 

	
 
<p>Many people choose to arrive Thursday evening and depart Monday morning, for convenience. Lots of attendees choose to start their visit even earlier, or stay longer, so they have time to explore our landmarks, expansive parkland, and world class hospitality.</p>
 

	
 
<h2>Food and Activities<a name="food-and-activities"></a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Petaluma is right at the intersection of Sonoma, Napa, and Marin Counties. This three county region, which makes up the North Bay, is famous for its parkland, forests, agriculture, fine food, wine, beer, and spirits. There's a lot to do here and we encourage you to explore while you're here!</p>
 

	
 
<p>We've prepared a <a href="/food">food guide</a> which will help you find good eats in Petaluma, but if you're sticking around beyond the conference, you'll want to check out your favorite food or restaurant guide. We've also put together a <a href="/attend/transit">transit guide</a> to help you get around town once you're here.</p>
 

	
 
<p>From family-friendly hikes to museums, wine tours to wind swept beaches, and lots of kid-friendly attractions, we encourage folks to bring their families along and stay as long as they can! We will offer free childcare for kids from 6 months to 12 years of age during the conference.</p>

<h2>How to Get Here<a name="transit"></a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>How you get here depends, naturally, on where you're coming from. Broadly, your options are: <a href="/go/fly">flying</a>, cab rides, public transit, ride sharing apps, or renting a car.</p>
 

	
 
<h3>Public Transit</h3>
 

	
 
<p>Public transit to Petaluma is currently not great. You can take the <a href="http://goldengatetransit.org/schedules/current/route_101.php">101 bus operated by Golden Gate Transit</a> 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>
 

	
 
<p><a href="https://sonomamarintrain.org">SMART</a>, the new train service that runs along the 101 corridor, recently started operations. SMART is not suitable for getting to North Bay Python if you travel on weekends, as the first train leaves after proceedings start. SMART may be a better option than taking the bus between San Rafael and Petaluma if you travel up on weekdays.</p>
 

	
 
<h3>Driving</h3>
 

	
 
<p>If you're driving up, downtown Petaluma is at exit 472A on Highway 101, 35 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge.</p>
 

	
 
<p>All parking is free in Petaluma, however near the Mystic, street-level parking is time-limited. All-day parking is available at street level west of 5th St (towards 6th St), and at the the undercover garages at Theatre Square and at <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Keller+Street+Parking+Garage">Keller St</a>. Both garages are in short walking distance of the Mystic.</p>

<h2>Financial Aid<a name="financial-aid"></a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>If your employer isn't paying for you to attend North Bay Python, then you should apply for financial aid. If you're hesitating about applying for financial aid, don't.</p>
 

	
 
<p>We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and our priority is accessibility. Our goal is for attending North Bay Python to cost about as much as staying home. Learn more about our <a href="/financial-aid">financial aid</a> program, including application process, timelines, and policies. Don't worry, it's easier than it sounds!</p>

## Now accepting talk proposals for North Bay Python 2018
 
## Third annual North Bay Python to take place in Petaluma, California on November 2-3, 2019
 

	
 
**Thursday, July 5, 2018**&mdash;The North Bay Python team is excited to announce that the [call for proposals](https://2018.northbaypython.org/program/call-for-proposals) (CFP) is now open! We are seeking speakers of all experience levels to contribute to our second annual conference. The CFP will close on August 10, 2018.
 
**Tuesday, April 23, 2019**&mdash;The North Bay Python team is excited to announce we’re on for our third annual conference! North Bay Python 2019 will be hosted the first weekend of November 2nd and 3rd at the Mystic Theater in downtown Petaluma, an hour north of the Golden Gate.
 

	
 
North Bay Python, taking place the weekend of November 3 &amp; 4, 2018, is a single-track event featuring two days of presentations by members of the community. The vast majority of the conference program will come from people who propose talks in our CFP process. Whether you use Python professionally, as a hobbyist, or are just excited about Python or programming and open source, we'd love to hear from you.
 
Hundreds of Pythonistas and the Python-curious will gather for the conference in a historic music venue, at the intersection of Sonoma, Marin, and Napa County. Some will travel solo, others may bring their families along to enjoy local hikes, museums, wine tours, windswept beaches, and lots of kid-friendly activities.
 

	
 
Our program committee, which is responsible for reviewing proposals, is interested in building a program that reflects the diversity of people who are using Python. Never given a presentation before but excited to share? We're here to help you craft a proposal and can refer you to quality resources for making your first conference talk. Not sure what to talk about, but interested in trying? We've got ideas for presentations we'd love to see and we're happy to share them with you!
 
Details about travel, lodging, accommodation, and much more can be found on our website. In July, we will begin seeking proposals from people interested in speaking at the conference. In August, we’ll begin selling tickets.
 

	
 
In order to ensure a balanced program, we are proactively doing outreach to new and experienced speakers alike. We are also including a blind review phase in our [selection process](https://2018.northbaypython.org/program/selection-process) in order to combat bias. Our goal is to have no less than 33% of our speakers be not-men, ideally 50%, and to reflect the racial diversity of United States and Bay Area demographics.
 

	
 
Feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or ideas you have. You can find us on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/northbaypython), [Facebook](https://facebook.com/northbaypython), and [IRC](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23nbpy), or you can [email us](mailto:program@northbaypython.org). Please, get started today! The [call for proposals](https://2018.northbaypython.org/program/call-for-proposals) closes on August 10, 2018.

## North Bay Python joins Software Freedom Conservancy
 

	
 
**Wednesday, August 16, 2017**&mdash;We are proud to announce that North Bay Python is now a member project of [Software Freedom Conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org), a 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to ethical technology and the development and promotion free and open source software. Conservancy will act as our fiscal sponsor, allowing our team to operate without managing our own corporate structure and administrative services.
 

	
 
Conservancy is home to many popular [free and open source software projects](https://sfconservancy.org/projects/current/), like [Selenium](http://www.seleniumhq.org/), [PyPy](https://pypy.org/), [phpMyAdmin](https://www.phpmyadmin.net/), [Twisted](https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/), and [Outreachy](https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/), some of which run their own events. North Bay Python has the distinct honor of being the first member project that is exclusively focused on organizing community events.
 

	
 
We couldn't be more excited. We're celebrating by donating five free tickets to Outreachy participants and will be promoting member projects relevant to the Python community at the conference. Interested Outreachy alums (past or present) should [contact us](mailto:outreach@northbaypython.org). We'll also have discounted tickets available for active financial supporters of Software Freedom Conservancy.
 

	
 
We look forward to working with Conservancy to advance software freedom and expand the community of Python developers. If this is the first time you've heard of Conservancy, we encourage you to check out [their website](https://sfconservancy.org) and give them your support.
