Is the attendee list for next March's PyCon available to registrants? What core developers are attending? Maybe members of this list that are going can reply to this e-mail, or someone more familiar with the speaker list can at least start the list off. I'm attending. Thanks, --Chris

It should be an experienced core dev and not any random person who happens to subscribe to python-dev and is willing to do it. Otherwise it would be no better than writing the URL to the devguide on a piece of paper and saying "have at it". =) -Brett > > On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 7:53 AM, Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 5:13 AM, Brett Cannon <brett(a)python.org> wrote: > >> In case people were just assuming I was going to, I'm actually flying > back > >> home on the 18th so I don't think it would be a good idea to make me the > >> sprint leader this year since I will only be around for the first half > of > >> the day.

If specific legal questions or alterations to Python/the PSF trademarks, CLA/etc are requested those *must* be sent to psf(a)python.org for board oversight and approval. This is an open discussion list, and is not official legal stance of the foundation, trademarks, etc. jesse

Anatoly Techtonik's contribution
by Łukasz Langa 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

I'd like to raise a concern that Anatoly's actions are disruptive and largely unhelpful. His passive-agressive writing style is well known but it seems this no longer satisfies him. Today, without consulting anyone he edited our Wiki guidelines and removed the "Do not remove guidelines you do not agree with!" note (yes, really): http://wiki.python.org/moin/WikiGuidelines?action=diff&rev1=35&rev2=36 Should we react in any way? How do you perceive his contributions in general? -- Best regards, Łukasz Langa Senior Systems Architecture Engineer IT Infrastructure Department Grupa Allegro Sp. z o.o. http://lukasz.langa.pl/ +48 791 080 144

I will NOT be leading the core sprint at PyCon US this year
by Brett Cannon 26 Feb '13

26 Feb '13

In case people were just assuming I was going to, I'm actually flying back home on the 18th so I don't think it would be a good idea to make me the sprint leader this year since I will only be around for the first half of the day. If someone else wants to take it on then sign up python-dev at https://us.pycon.org/2013/community/sprints/projects/ .

PyCharm
by Vinay Sajip 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

I received today a license from JetBrains for the PyCharm IDE for use in Python development. According to the mail I received, this is a multi-user license available to all CPython committers. I know many of you are die-hard emacs and vim users, but if any of you are interested in using PyCharm, let me know off-list and I will forward the license details to you. Regards, Vinay Sajip
