I'd like to run a tutorial on the new object-relational mapping framework in the AdaptableStorage Zope product. I presented a paper on AdaptableStorage at OSCON last July, and it went over well, but the software wasn't ready to use at the time. Now the project has matured enough that people can start building their own object-relational mappings. The feature that sets this O/R mapping framework apart from others is that it integrates well with ZODB. Developers can take advantage of quick development with an object-oriented database and later switch their application to store in a relational database or any other data store. I believe this framework, used with ZODB, addresses the need to separate storage details from the application itself. I'd like to teach the attendees how to use the framework, along with ZODB, in their own projects. A tutorial setting would give me a better opportunity to interact with attendees than a talk would. I've never given a tutorial at a conference before, but I've presented papers before and I have teaching experience. By the way, the conference sounds very exciting, regardless of the number of attendees. There are so many good things happening in the world of Python, and it will be a great chance to talk with Pythonistas from all over. Shane
