Python library to extract data tables from PDF files
by Vinayak Mehta Oct. 23, 2018

Oct. 23, 2018

Hello everyone! I recently released a Python library which lets users extract data tables out of PDF files, my first open source library! Here's the link: https://github.com/socialcopsdev/camelot I've created a wiki page <https://github.com/socialcopsdev/camelot/wiki/Comparison-with-other-PDF-Tab…> comparing it to other open source PDF table extraction tools. I'm currently working on porting it to Python3! I would be really grateful if you could check it out and see if its useful to you and give me any feedback that may help me improve it, by replying here, opening an issue or a pull request! Looking forward to hearing from you all! Thanks for your time! Vinayak

Crisis Incidents
by Don Sheu Oct. 15, 2018

Oct. 15, 2018

Recently, we as organizers dealt with somebody on Slack in distress. This created a lot of tough decisions on responses. Alan Vezina my fellow founder of PuPPy took a lead. Following some coaching from social workers, he made a call to 911. Wondering if other organizers have anything to share. We didn't build the Ark in this case. But now after the rain trying to backfill with some process so we're better prepared. -- Don Sheu 312.880.9389 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My Python user group convenes every month 2nd Wednesdays http://www.meetup.com/PSPPython/events/232708762/ *CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE*: *The information contained in this message may be protected trade secrets or protected by applicable intellectual property laws of the United States and International agreements.

EuroPython 2019: Seeking venues
by M.-A. Lemburg Sept. 24, 2018

Sept. 24, 2018

Dear EuroPython'istas, We are in preparations of our venue RFP for the EuroPython 2019 edition and are asking for your help in finding the right locations for us to choose from. If you know of a larger venue - hotel or conference center - that can accommodate at least 1400 attendees, please send the venue details to board(a)europython.eu. We will then make sure to include them in our RFP once we send it out. The more venues we gather to reach out to, the better of a selection process we can guarantee, which in return, will ultimately result in a better conference experience for everybody involved. When sending us venue suggestions, please make sure to provide us with the following: name and URL of the venue, country and city, as well as the contact details of the sales person in charge of inquiries (full name, email and phone). We were planning to start the RFP process in the coming days, so please make sure you send us your recommendations as soon as possible. Help spread the word -------------------- Please help us spread this message by sharing it on your social networks as widely as possible. Thank you !

ACTION NEEDED: New PSF Stickers - last chance to submit your design!
by Betsy Waliszewski Sept. 12, 2018

Sept. 12, 2018

Hi all, This is your last chance to submit a design before we put them to a vote! We received lots of excellent ideas and suggestions, but only 4 actual designs (and 2 of them were pretty much the same). They don't have to be perfect - hand-drawn is fine. Voting will go live on Monday, September 17, so there are still a few days to get your design in.
