From brian at python.org Thu Sep 20 23:23:38 2012 From: brian at python.org (Brian Curtin) Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2012 21:23:38 -0000 Subject: [CentralOH] PyCon 2013 Ticket Sales Have Begun! Message-ID: Hi Central OH Python Users! The PyCon organizers are happy to announce that ticket sales for the March 2013 conference have opened at https://us.pycon.org/2013/registration/ ! Early bird rates are available for the first 1000 purchases, which is a departure from previous time-based systems. With PyCon 2012 having been a quick sell out, we're expecting this one to be the same. Keep in mind that attendance is strictly limited to 2500. PyCon 2013 is going back to Santa Clara, CA before heading up north for two years in Montreal, Quebec for 2014-15. The event starts with two days of tutorials on March 13, followed by three days of talks starting March 15, and ends with four days of sprints starting March 18. Individual and corporate ticket prices remain the same as they have been for the last few years, with early bird rates of $300 and $450 respectively. The regular rates of $350 and $600 for individual and corporate are still an incredible deal. For 2013 we've reduced the cost to students by 50%, bringing the early bird rate to $100 with a regular rate of $125. Providing a more affordable conference experience for students is a priority for the organizers and the Python Software Foundation, and we're hoping the decrease helps bring more of them out. We've also increased our financial aid program, and hope to assist more attendees for PyCon 2013! You can apply for financial aid through the new consolidated form at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dGt4Z0dsY052VERJem4xUUFVQW9uQVE6MQ We're still accepting proposals for talks and tutorials, with a deadline of September 28. Poster proposals are accepted through January 15, 2013. For more information, see https://us.pycon.org/2013/speaking/cfp/ If your company is interested in sponsorship, we need you. Sponsors are what make PyCon a possibility, and sponsorship offers some great values to the generous organizations who support the conference. Check out https://us.pycon.org/2013/sponsors/whysponsor/ to find out what you get out of sponsorship, with a prospectus at https://us.pycon.org/2013/sponsors/prospectus/.

I thought I'd share this spreadsheet that I use to do monthly budgeting. I'm sharing with this group because it is a good example of how to use Python to script LibreOffice activities. Eventually I would like to give a talk about this (and other tips & tricks of Python-LO integration) at one of the meetings, but for now here's what I have. When you open the workbook, there is one sheet called "Builder". When you run the embedded Python script, it does the following: for Week in (list of bi-weekly pay periods): Copy "Builder" to a new sheet Label the new sheet appropriately Join the "excess from previous pay period" cell to the "excess" cell of the previous pay period So at the end of the run you'll have 26 worksheets, one for each pay period. To use this: 1. Make sure you can run macros. (Tools -> Options -> Security -> Macro Security) 2. Open the workbook. 3. Enter your budget information in the "Planned" column (B). Note that each worksheet covers two weeks - so after the macro is run, you'll have to go in and adjust which worksheets should contain the various items, since most items are monthly. 4. Select Tools -> Macros -> Run Macro. When the Selector pops up, select the library "BudgetTemplate.ods". 5. Click on the "Main_RunMe" macro, and click Run. 6. After all of the worksheets have appeared, adjust accordingly. Note that the three green income items at the top are part of a group and can be edited if you want; they're summed up to the "Total Income" cell. Also note that the "Total Excess" cell on one worksheet is linked to the "Excess from Previous Pay" on the next sheet. That way you can see how much money you'll have left at the end of the year if you follow your budget. 7. As you pay your bills, you may find it helpful to enter amounts in the "Actual" column. To investigate or hack the Python script: 1. Create a temporary directory and unzip the .ods file into that directory. 2. In the temporary directory, there will be a path named Scripts/python. The Python script is in that directory. It is fairly well commented. If you add another module, or if your editor makes backup~ files, and you try to simply zip the temp directory back up into an .ods file, then LibreOffice will report the spreadsheet as corrupt. You can add additional modules by adding the .py files, and then editing the META-INF/manifest.xml file to add a file-entry node containing the information about your file. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome! Cheers, -JK -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Come join us and help man the table, talk to Linux- and BSD-er's about Python, and generally just have a great time. The table is a great place to hang out while at the Linux Fest, it's *THE* Python party tent (minus the tent)! Come help out, socialize, rest between talks. Bring your laptop, a book, or anything you'd like! Anyone who helps out at the table will get a PyOhio 2012 t-shirt! I hope to see you there!

(Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, actually, but the exhibit hall is just Saturday.) We have a table reserved for PyOhio, so we need to figure out quickly what to do with it. Hopefully some of this can be figured out at COHPy's Monday meeting (which I can't make, sorry) but here's a preliminary list: Volunteers The complicated way: Make a preliminary list of time slots with volunteers at COHPy, that would be great. 100% coverage is not necessary (unless we want a cashbox for T-shirt sales, see below). Then we can try an online appeal to fill in blanks. Or the simple way: We could just go with the existing meetup page at http://www.meetup.com/Central-Ohio-Python-Users-Group/events/83568632/?a=socialmedia The only real drawback here is we don't know in advance if we'll have 100% coverage, which makes it harder to plan on whether and where to keep a cashbox and/or laptop. A big PyOhio sign Do we have one? Besides the legendary Shroud of PyOhio, which I may or may not be able to find by Saturday. PyOhio business cards (I'll bring these) If you've got any COHPy-specific handouts, obviously bring those too "About Python" handouts . I have about 100 leftovers from last year. A new handout would be nice - something low in jargon, I think, since all buzzword-enhanced programmers probably know something about Python by now anyway Spare PyOhio programs from previous years I'll bring these PyOhio T-shirts to raffle And a jar to collect submissions And blank slips for people without business cards We should decide how exactly to run the raffle. Should we draw once in the early afternoon and again near the end of the day, and post the names for people to pick up their shirts? Should they need to pick it up in person? Obviously, we'd love to put all raffle entrants on the PyOhio announcement mailing list - but should it be opt-in or opt-out? PyOhio T-shirts for sale Our same money-handling procedure should be used from PyOhio itself - I don't actually know how this was run. A Square application? And a cashbox? With change? And, in this case, someone will need to be in custody of cash all the time - if we don't have a continual presence at the table, someone will need to keep it on their person A laptop - very optional Something to show on the laptop (videos from past PyOhios?) This is neat, but tricky - there's no telling whether we'll have electricity at our table, and if we don't have a volunteer at the table all the time it would be best to have a cable lock to keep the laptop safe. Also, one year, somebody brought an awesome stand that angled a laptop screen nicely, but I don't remember who Anything else? If anybody has and can bring any of these things, let me know... otherwise I'll see what I can round up.

(Or Emma? I don't know what we've done with that). If you don't think those objectives are worth the effort, that's fine too. Candy would accomplish much of (1) anyway. :) I'm thinking that we could collect names in a jar, draw one at midday and two more near the end, pin up the winners' names, and hand it to them if they show up to check.

I'm assuming that we want opportunities to transform surplus T-shirts into funding and that this could be an opportunity. Definitely not necessary if we can't/don't want to do it. Come to think of it, if we do it, let's just go with Square.

You could bring it and leave it in the car if we're powerless (if you feel safe doing that) or show PyOhio videos if we have power (which we'll have to download in advance with NetVideoHunter or something, ironically no internet at OLF).

However, there was a long extension cord running to the LPI table #21. _Maybe_ you can get power from them if you bring a long extension cord.

I'll bring the banner in my car along with twisty ties. If there is an opportunity to put it around the table, or something else, we could try that. I plan on getting in around 8. Anyone else planning on getting there early who can help me carry the t-shirts and bags? Also, in case you didn't know, Comic Con road tour is also at the convention center, with Patrick Stewart, Val Kilmer, and others slated to make an appearance and to print money by selling signatures.
