Come to PyCon if you can
Greetings, This is a little plug for coming to PyCon Feb 22-25. I am going to be there from Thursday night (Feb. 22) until Saturday evening (Feb. 25), and would like to meet with anyone interested to discuss some of the issues surrounding NumPy/SciPy and the PEPs we are working on for Python. I would stay for the sprints but I can't this year. If others are interested in using the sprints for SciPy/NumPy development, then we can still coordinate efforts. I will be presenting a talk on Understanding NumPy which is targeted to the beginner/intermediate audience on Saturday morning. There are other talks as well that have a distinct scientific computing flavor that look very interesting. Hopefully we can organize a BOF session as well during the conference (on Friday evening preferrably). Here are more details: http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/ Early bird registration ends Jan 15 (today!) Best regards, -Travis O.

Another plug: there will be two ipython talks, one on the basics and one on the new distributed computing work. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it so Brian Granger will present both. And one more plug: if anyone is in the SF/Berkeley area, I'm co-organizing a workshop at the Math Sciences Research Institute there, on parallel/distributed computing for mathematical problems: http://sage.math.washington.edu/msri07/ The wiki has all the real details: http://sage.math.washington.edu:9001/msri07 This isn't python-specific, but you may find some of the talks interesting, and attendance is free if you don't need funding. The deadline for actual registration has passed, but if you are in the area, all talks are open to the public. Cheers, f
