Message-ID: <200602012318.51126.ms@cerenity.org> Hi, Just a note to say that my absence from the list is largely accidental, I *thought* the list had gone very quiet. I'm reading back through the archives, and to cut through a few emails - yes, I'm very eager to see a games track. Looking through the list of tracks though I've got no idea where something like twisted fits in the the tracks on the wiki page. However, I suspect the latter has already come up though, so I'll just read the archives for the moment. Thanks to Michael (mwh) and Laura for prodding me!

I think I do now - given from irc: (00:07:08) mwh: the python track is "language and tools" now Twisted definitely fits in tools. One thing that was just discussed on IRC was the idea of renaming the Games track to "Games, Cool Hacks, and Other Fun Stuff" - I like this, but thought it worth running past the list. I'll summarise my other thoughts tomorrow, but for now this struck me as worth posting sooner rather than later given the idea of a call for proposals soon Regards, Michael. -- http://kamaelia.sf.net/Home http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/ Python meet Manchester 8/2/6: http://tinyurl.com/a9cry From hpk at trillke.net Thu Feb 2 06:53:35 2006 From: hpk at trillke.net (holger krekel) Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2006 06:53:35 +0100 Subject: [EuroPython] #europython minutes 23rd January 2006 In-Reply-To: <20060131194605.GC1644@crater.logilab.fr> References: <20060123171948.GB13417@solar.trillke.net> <20060131081237.GW13417@solar.trillke.net> <20060131194605.GC1644@crater.logilab.fr> Message-ID: <20060202055335.GK13417@solar.trillke.net> On Tue, Jan 31, 2006 at 20:46 +0100, Nicolas Chauvat wrote: > On Tue, Jan 31, 2006 at 09:12:37AM +0100, holger krekel wrote: > > but about Seaside (http://seaside.st) and possibly other approaches > > that leverage language features not existing in Python. > > Sounds interesting. Do you have time to share pointers ? not too many - but yesterday i talked to Jan Balster who reminded me that e.g. Erlang has nice concurrency primitives based on continuations, leading to e.g. nice results regarding handling of many concurrent connections. http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/classic/message5763.html IMO the idea is to investigate ways to simplify web programming by an order of magnitude - it just got too complex (although it thus sustains many companies :) cheers, holger From dario at ita.chalmers.se Mon Feb 6 11:15:53 2006 From: dario at ita.chalmers.se (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Dario_Lopez-K=E4sten?=) Date: Mon, 06 Feb 2006 11:15:53 +0100 Subject: [EuroPython] Adding fuel to the flames Message-ID: <43E721D9.3070907@ita.chalmers.se> :-) http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.announce/5919 """ New Mailing List for PyCon Technology and Conference Software From: Jeff Rush taupro.com> Subject: New Mailing List for PyCon Technology and Conference Software Date: 2006-02-05 10:53:48 GMT I have arranged for the creation of a new mailing list under python.org for the discussion of software development for PyCon, of any type and for any year. We've been sending a lot of email privately and making the process more visible would be good I think. There are a few disjoint efforts and a list would bring them together. This list is also for the discussion of other technical matters related to PyCon such as the audio/video recording efforts. This list can also help us prepare for the conference-software sprint that Andrew Kuching is pushing for PyCon this year.

[16:33] mwh: Aiste: yes :( [16:33] mwh: well, i'd like to talk a little about the call for papers [16:33] Aiste: maybe we should scedule another one soonish, and discuss what we could not today? [16:33] mwh: we need to do at least these things: [16:33] mwh: (a) get descriptions of all tracks [16:34] mwh: (b) attack the/a website until submitting papers is actually possible [16:34] mwh: (c) write the damn thing and send it out [16:34] mwh: anything else?

Assuming it's finished in the next few days, Michael H promised to write a draft Call For Papers by the end of the week. He also agreed to draft a more general conference announcement. * Website stuff It seems there has been a de-facto decision made to use CERN's indico software.

There were further, mostly unanswered questions about the website: do we want an additional "PR/pretty" website? Do we want to point europython.org to the indico site? Who controls europython.org anyway? * The Games^WHacks and fun^W^W^WMichael Sparks track Currently Michael Sparks is listed as chairing a "Games" track. He asked for opinions on changing the title of the track to "games, cool hacks and other fun stuff". There was concern that this seemed too broad, and in particular is very similar to the "Misfits" track. Michael said he'd "have a ponder and try and come up with something less wide ranging". * Budget The only written down plans for the budget so far were in this mail: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/europython/2006-January/005551.html Michael H observed that he thought there was consensus to not give speakers so much of a discount. There was some discussion about whether they should have a discount at all, and I think the eventual plan was to give them a small discount. As far as I know, the consensus was for this price structure: Early Bird Normal On the door Speakers 120 120 please no :) Students 65 100 150 Normal 120 190 240 but I admit to not being completely sure. This should be talked about on the mailing list. * Timeline A month or so back the following timeline was proposed: 15th February Call for Proposals March Opening online Registration (Payment issue pending!) 31st March Deadline for proposal submissions 30th April Prelininary Program with accepted talks 19th May Closing Early Bird registration There was consensus that this still seemed reasonable, modulo the fact that the call for papers is not going to be out by Wednesday (but hopefully not that long after_. * Payment Processing Joachim agreed to look at integrating worldpay payment into Indico. Benedikt pointed him at the source. -- you're a towel a towel of IMMENSE POWER, yes. -- from Twisted.Quotes From mcflo22 at yahoo.com Mon Feb 13 22:32:03 2006 From: mcflo22 at yahoo.com (lati fola) Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 13:32:03 -0800 (PST) Subject: [EuroPython] Fwd: Confirmation: CARD Transaction Message-ID: <20060213213203.41664.qmail@web60320.mail.yahoo.com> this is what i saw in my mail,pls help me Note: forwarded message attached. --------------------------------- Relax.

I came up with "Games and Entertainment" instead, which better covers the area. I've put up a track description, any criticism/suggestions welcome.

This should be talked > about on the mailing list. I think my only comment here echoes what I said in the meeting which is that if the discount for early bird was the same, and the premium on the door is the same, then it's somewhat simpler to describe (I'm thinking of leaflets at python meets in London & Manchester for example). Whether it's a percentage or a raw amount is moot. (The structure above looks like 35% discount for early bird, and 50 Euro premium for on the door) Regards, Michael. -- Michael Sparks, Senior R&D Engineer, Digital Media Group Michael.Sparks at rd.bbc.co.uk, http://kamaelia.sourceforge.net/ British Broadcasting Corporation, Research and Development Kingswood Warren, Surrey KT20 6NP http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

At conference like EPC and PyCon, the conference fees are usually not a major cost factor - it's the accommodation, food and getting there that makes up for 90% of the costs. I've looked around on the CERN web-site, but couldn't find any infos on e.g. hotel recommendations.

Message-ID: From mwh at python.net Mon Feb 20 12:31:18 2006 From: mwh at python.net (Michael Hudson) Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2006 11:31:18 +0000 Subject: [EuroPython] website Message-ID: <2mfyme8dx5.fsf@starship.python.net> In the EuroPython meeting this morning, we talked quite a bit about the website story. As has been mentioned before, we're going to use CERN's indico software for the actual conference bits, but indico is no general web server and so we need something else to hold press releases, interviews, perhaps travel and other general information and so on, and probably have this site be what the visitor sees at http://www.europython.org/. For one reason and another, it would be nice to not totally bin what is currently at http://www.europython.org/ and instead archive the 2005 version somewhere and use the existing set up and look and feel to present this year's information. This, however, requires someone who knows about CPS. While I was writing this mail I talked to Stefane Fermigier on #europython and he said he'd be willing to help with this, but it seems worth posting the mail anyway. So: does this sound like a reasonable plan to you? Are you willing/able to help?
