I'll keep the list posted.[..] I just spoke to David and he's quite interested in meeting the local Pythonistas and maybe even talking about some Python related concept/technology that's not so commonly discussed. The only problem is that he'll be here for a week (Monday to Friday) and won't have time during work hours so if we want to meet up, we'll have to make it an evening session. I'm not sure about the logistics. A restaurant is one option but that would preclude a proper tech. discussion. It would be nicer to have some space and to have food brought in. I haven't discussed the details with him but his trip is a month away so some kind of discussion on our part would not be out of place to decide how we can make the most of his time here without inconveniencing him in any way. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in From vid at svaksha.com Thu Apr 1 08:28:35 2010 From: vid at svaksha.com (=?UTF-8?B?IOCkuOCljeCkteCkleCljeCktyA=?=) Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2010 11:58:35 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] @dabeaz visiting b'lore In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Thu, Apr 1, 2010 at 11:37, Noufal Ibrahim wrote: > > I just spoke to David and he's quite interested in meeting the local > Pythonistas and maybe even talking about some Python related > concept/technology that's not so commonly discussed. > > The only problem is that he'll be here for a week (Monday to Friday) > and won't have time during work hours so if we want to meet up, we'll > have to make it an evening session.

When Noufal wrote "talking about some Python related concept/technology" I'd assumed it would not be a formal lecture/talk with the mandatory "lets show numbers".

If the number of people generally interested is too low, we might make it just a dinner time conversation rather than a proper presentation.

I suppose you could use something like Cython to do it. Why do you want to do this? If you need to write a DLL from scratch, you'd be better off doing it in a lower level language. If you want to interface your Python code with an existing DLL, you can use the ctypes module. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in From noufal at gmail.com Tue Apr 13 08:29:04 2010 From: noufal at gmail.com (Noufal Ibrahim) Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2010 11:59:04 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] User group meeting this/next weekend?

You need to offer the service free, get a large number of users and possibly charge for enhanced services - look at the bitbucket model. Also in the year 2010 you cannot run a paid service and expect people to fill in forms and send cheques/dd. Online payment and at a click setup is mandatory. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Associate NRC-FOSS http://certificate.nrcfoss.au-kbc.org.in From abpillai at gmail.com Wed Apr 14 08:52:16 2010 From: abpillai at gmail.com (Anand Balachandran Pillai) Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2010 12:22:16 +0530 Subject: [BangPypers] [COMMERCIAL] CodersCombat project hosting service for all In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 8:28 AM, Azhagu selvan wrote: > Hi, > > We are happy to announce CodersCombat, A project hosting service for > both students and corporates.

I don't want to be construed as throwing a spanner into your works but I have a few comments about this. 0. If you're targeting free software projects, they *need* to be public in order to work fine. You just need some restrictions on commit etc. which most forges provide. 1. If you want to provide private repositories, your target audience is changing into the non-free software crowd and their concerns would be different. They'll be worried about putting their data on the net on a publicly accessible server no matter how secure it is. Their data requirements might be high and they'll have to pay large bandwidth costs to get/put data onto your machines. > This we see as a key differentiator among the dozens > of free hosting provider available out there. I know that github and think that bitbucket provide private repos. So, you're competing with them.
