Wow...! Way to go, Christian! --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) ------- Forwarded Message Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2001 22:46:06 +0900 From: "Changjune Kim" <junaftnoon@yahoo.com> To: <guido@python.org> Subject: The 2nd Korea Python Users Seminar Dear Mr. Guido van Rossum, First of all, I can't thank you more for your great contribution to the presence of Python. It is not a mere computer programming language but a whole culture, I think. I am proud to tell you that we are having the 2nd Korea Python Users Seminar which is wide open to the public. There are already more than 400 people who registered ahead, and we expect a few more at the site. The seminar will be held in Seoul, South Korea on Feb 2. With the effort of Korea Python Users Group, there has been quite a boom or phenomenon for Python among developers in Korea. Several magazines are _competitively_ carrying regular articles about Python -- I'm one of the authors -- and there was an article even on a _normal_ newspaper, one of the major four big newspapers in Korea, which described the sprouting of Python in Korea and pointed its extreme easiness to learn. (moreover, it's the year of the snake in the 12 zodiac animals) The seminar is mainly about: Python 2.0, intro for newbies, Python coding style, ZOPE, internationalization of Zope for Korean, GUIs such as wxPython, PyQt, Internet programming in Python, Python with UML, Python C/API, XML with Python, and Stackless Python. Christian Tismer is coming for SPC presentation with me, and Hostway CEO Lucas Roh will give a talk about how they are using Python, and one of the Python evangelists, Brian Lee, CTO of Linuxkorea will give a brief intro to Python and Python C/API. I'm so excited and happy to tell you this great news. If there is any message you want to give to Korea Python Users Group and the audience, it'd be great -- I could translate it and post it at the site for all the audience. Thank you again for your wonderful snake. Best regards, June from Korea. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
