Choosing a Tutorial topic
Choosing a tutorial topic doesn't have to be difficult. As we're a vibrant community with a variety of interests, selecting a topic that you are excited to share with others is a great place to start.
Looking at the tutorials that were accepted in past years and watching previews of them on [pyvideo.org](http://pyvideo.org/) will show the breadth of topics that have been taught before. New tutorial topics are encouraged too! Here are links to the tutorials from 2015 and 2014:
