Out of curiosity, why do you want to know? Just anxious to know and don't want to wait until the language summit to find out? Or do you want to know who will be there to track them down to ask them something?

Partly out of curiosity, but more the latter -- like to discuss issues/patches of mutual interest in person, etc, or just to meet them. :)

I'll be there for the summit, conference, and murphy willing sprints.

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.

I plan to attend the language summit and conference. Not sure about the sprints yet.

Michael had sent out notices about it earlier, as usual.

Chris and any other new committers: if you're available on Wednesday (03-13) and not on the list for the language summit already, you may want to contact Michael Foord.

FTR, I plan to be at the summit, the conference, and expect to be sprinting multiple days.

No, I just didn't remember. I'll be there. (Are there any other summits planned?)

Education summit on Thursday: https://us.pycon.org/2013/events/edusummit/ .

Nick keeps mentioning some packaging mini-summit but I don't know the details beyond the hushed whispers in dark corners of the internet. =)

Nick's organised the packaging summit for Friday evening:

https://us.pycon.org/2013/community/openspaces/packaginganddistributionminis...

What time is it happening? Is this going up against the Python 3 porting clinic?

-Brett

I'll be around the entire conference & sprints. I'll be doing PyPI stuff and some distutils stuff during the sprints. I'm probably not going to make it to the language summit - I've volunteered to TA Katie & Lynn's tutorial on Wednesday. Any distutils stuff can be discussed at the packaging summit anyway.

In regards to the original topic of the thread, I'm in California for 2 weeks, starting the Tuesday before the conference. I haven't made any plans for the 4 days I have between the end of the sprints and flying home yet :) (Although Brett had some interesting suggestions)

For those who haven't been there already, a visit to the Computer History Museum in nearby Mountain View is definitely worth a few hours.
It has an especially fine collection of Seymour Cray designs. The building itself is a tiny bit of history: built as SGI building 20, it was the prototype for SGI buildings 40 through 43, which are now the heart of the Googleplex.

If someone organizes a visit to the computer museum I *definitely* would like to tag along. Despite working around the corner for 7 years I've never been. My first computer was a Cray design, and soon I will be computer history myself. :-)

So was mine. It's open Tue-Sat 1000 to 1700, so given the PyCon schedule, I'd guess Wednesday afternoon during the sprints would be the earliest practical option. Or Thursday if people are still around. I'd be happy to put up a signup sheet for people and cars at the sprints if there is interest.

I ran into Guido today at lunch and remembered this previous discussion about a possible visit to the CHM. As noted, the museum would not be available during the week until Thursday. Guido and no doubt others will not be around then. So he suggested that Sunday (tomorrow) afternoon might be an option. The logistics are not ideal but it might be doable. The museum closes at 5pm and it should take at most 15 minutes to get there by auto from the convention center. I think any visit should not be less than an hour and the museum has a suggested 1-hour highlights tour here:

http://www.computerhistory.org/planvisit/media/docs/chm-1hr-tour.pdf

That suggests that the departure time from the convention center should be no later than 3:30pm which would be in the middle of the conference closing address.

Rather than cluttering this list, I suggest that anyone interested in such a trip contact me via private email prior to 9am tomorrow morning and, if you are willing to drive, how many people you could give rides to, and an email address or SMS phone number to contact you on Sunday during the day. I'll reply all tomorrow morning with first-come, first-served match-ups and a suggested meeting place if there is interest.

The summit is on and we have a good number of committers planning to come.

So it's 10:30 AM tomorrow (Wednesday) in Mission City Ballroom B1 ? [I gleaned the location from the Guidebook app for the event - the website doesn't seem to have it]

P.S. California greets PyCon with superb spring weather ;-)

Eli

I'll be there for summit and conference and most likely first two days of sprints.
