Am I missing all of the discussion?
I'm pretty excited about the conference, but I'm not seeing the level of community response (checked the Wiki, this list's archives) that I expected. Am I just looking in the wrong places? Are there a lot of Pythonistas planning to attend, but they're all being quiet an secretive about it? ---Tom
I'm thinking of attending. I'm also weighing whether I'll be able to finish an experiment (rewriting an increasingly hard-to-maintain C application in Python) in time for the abstract submission deadline. At the moment, I'm busy doing a different set of experiments in JScheme that have immediate practical use to the project I'm working on. Longer term, I'm exploring whether portions of a set of applications should be rewritten in Python. Geoff On Sunday, Jan 5, 2003, at 15:29 US/Eastern, Tom Bryan wrote:

a) keep in mind that the abstract submission deadline is just the deadline for the abstract :) (that is, "what I'm gonna write") b) even if you're not finished with the project in time for the actual paper submission deadline, reporting on your progress so far, and your reactions, findings, etc. would still be welcome. c) if you finish after the final paper submission deadline, I'm going to bet you could add ad-hoc notes about your final results and no one would complain. The proceedings are only going to be available on the web, so it's not like there's an errata publishing issue :)
