But do you mean that you wish to place an order with a Purchase Order? That is, you order with a PO, we raise an invoice, then your accounts department pay the invoice when they feel like it?

Plenty. We have 358 registered, are planning on 400 plus, but have an ultimate capacity of 550. Probably not what you wanted to hear to hurry them up!

We would not want any blatant plugs in your tutorial, there was some abuse at last year's PyCon US and it caused some bad feeling. Speaking for myself, I see no harm in you saying who you work for and what you do (it's useful background after all), and having a handout if people want to know more. You could of course ask your boss if he would like to be a formal sponsor of EP, and have your logo on the website, with links to the sponsors' page and your website. (Resolver Systems are sponsoring the IronPython tutorial for example.) There is a sponsors' brochure available if you are interested.

That'll be me. It's very simple, me and my team will be concerned with the actual recorders, session chairs just need to make sure the mic is on, and working, and gets turned off at breaks. As simple as remembering to turn a switch. I'll be around pre-conference. Although it would help me if all the session chairs could attend some kind of brief.

Message-ID: <4A327762.30103@comlounge.net> Hi there! As you might remember I sort of organized a Barcamp like part of the conference last year, mainly explaining what it is and doing session planning each morning. The only thing I didn't was actually attending one of the barcamp sessions due to video stuff to do ;-) I'd very much like to do that again this year except with attending sessions :-) So if there is a spare room we can have and some billboard or simply wall where we can put up a session plan then I am happy to run it this year again. For those who don't know what a barcamp is: It's basically the same as open spaces, so there is an empty room and there are timeslots and each morning people can signup to fill one of these slots with a talk, discussion round or whatever they want to do there. So if that would be possible again this year, I am happy to help! cheers, Christian PS: More info at http://barcamp.org/ -- Christian Scholz Homepage: http://comlounge.net COM.lounge GmbH blog: http://mrtopf.de/blog Hanbrucher Str. 33 Skype: HerrTopf 52064 Aachen Video Blog: http://comlounge.tv Tel: +49 241 400 730 0 E-Mail cs at comlounge.net Fax: +49 241 979 00 850 IRC: MrTopf, Tao_T neuer Podcast: Der OpenWeb-Podcast (http://openweb-podcast.de) new podcast: Data Without Borders (http://datawithoutborders.net) From theology at gmail.com Fri Jun 12 19:13:03 2009 From: theology at gmail.com (Zeth) Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:13:03 +0100 Subject: [EuroPython] EuroPython - Help Needed In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: 2009/6/12 Bernhard Bockelbrink : > I can help with the audio editing.

To: europython-improve Hi, I've just noticed that there are now 5 people who would like to help with the audio recording. This is great! It means that we can pretty much have a room each to be responsible for. For days with 6 tracks, I'll happily look after two. Don't worry this doesn't mean you have to stay in the room all day. It just means that you have to pop your head in during breaks to get the recording and check everything is still ok. I've edited the wiki page (http://wiki.europython2009.eu/VolunteersByActivity) to have a table (It seems to be what the other cool kids are using).

There is a lot of back and forth between the teacher and students's, which is hard to hear, or the teacher moves a lot. Also things like slides and examples are hard to tie up with the audio. Also some of the people giving tutorials tend to make their living that way, and it may not be in their best interests to have it recorded. In short, usually not worth the effort.

If you look at the timetable you will see that there is room for this, marked a Open Space. Also Bruce Eckel has volunteered to run a panel to explain what a barcamp is and how to run one. This could start the barcamp sessions off. All this would be very helpful because we're having a one day PyCon UK barcamp on 5th September. > For those who don't know what a barcamp is: It's basically the same as > open spaces, so there is an empty room and there are timeslots and each > morning people can signup to fill one of these slots with a talk, > discussion round or whatever they want to do there. > > So if that would be possible again this year, I am happy to help!

I guess that's right, basically it's about a planning session in the morning where everybody is introducing the session they want to do, asking for interest in it and then choosing a timeslot for the room(s). I guess the difference might be that barcamps are more standalone events with usually free entry utilizing the open space concept. I like to advertise it more as barcamp like portion of the conference though because I also would like to encourage people to visit more barcamps in their respective countries. They are usually of course of much broader topics, meaning web in general, but if developers are there, then mostly ruby or PHP people (at least in Germany). It would be great to also have more python people there so it would be great to also mention this in the introduction (moreover you get to know quite a lot of interesting people by visiting barcamps ;-) ). I am around from the 27th or 28th (need to check) onwards so we can maybe talk about this then and compare concepts :-) And great to have a room for this of course! :-) cheers, Christian > > -- Bruce Eckel > > > > On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 5:45 PM, John Pinner > wrote: > > Hello Christian, > > 2009/6/12 Christian Scholz >: > > Hi there! > > > > As you might remember I sort of organized a Barcamp like part of the > > conference last year, mainly explaining what it is and doing session > > planning each morning.

For PyConUK, we once had a long mailing list thread about 'BarCamp' versus some other types of 'open space'. However, when it comes to making cucumber sandwiches, it does not matter if you are a pre-millenialist middle Anglo-Catholic instead of a post-millenialist high Anglican, you put butter and cucumber between slices of bread. Lets not worry about branding and philosophy, you have a load of Python geeks sitting in a circle doing what the participants want, rather than what we, the organisers, have pre-planned.

If you click on the numbers above each option it shows you the connections you'd need to make by train - which appears to be Stansted -> Tottenham Hale -> Euston -> Birmingham New Street. (traintimes.org.uk isn't an official UK rail thing, but it does query the official thing, and it's a nicer interface IMO) If there's a direct bus as John's mail hints, that might be easier, but may take longer - based on playing with national express's (one bus company) journey planner: http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/index.cfm This... http://www.intalink.org.uk/Timetables/tt/777_A_ATG.PDF ...appears to list another coach that goes between Stansted & Birmingham, and takes a similar length of time. For other people travelling shorter distances, the traveline website can also be useful: http://www.traveline.org.uk/index.htm Regards, Michael.

You can catch a train from Stansted Airport to Birmingham. You order it here: http://tickets.londonmidland.com/lm/en/JourneyPlanning/MixingDeck Your 'from' destination is Stansted Airport Your 'to' is for Birmingham New Street. If you order more than a week in advance, your fair is cheaper. I am not a local, I have just done this. If locals come by here and say there is a better way, believe them.

There are two basic options to get to Birmingham New Street rail station from Stansted, there is a direct train (I think it is an hourly service) that takes 3.5 hours, or you can do a 3-train journey -- train Stansted -> Tottenham Hale (this is the main Stansted -> London Liverpool Street service, tube Tottenham Hale -> Euston, then train Euston -> Birmingham New Street; overall about 2.75 hours, so faster than a direct train! > -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder Partner xmpp: russel at russel.org.uk Concertant LLP t: +44 20 7585 2200, +44 20 7193 9203 41 Buckmaster Road, f: +44 8700 516 084 voip: sip:russel.winder at ekiga.net London SW11 1EN, UK m: +44 7770 465 077 skype: russel_winder -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I do this journey often, and I personally take the National Express because it is cheaper than the Train. However it does take a long time. It is best to book in advance via the website http://www.nationalexpress.com You need to enter into the boxes: Stansted Airport Birmingham This is a large coach that goes from the Airport. It is much cheaper to book a return than to book a single. If you are young you can buy a discount card but which may work out cheaper if you ever come back to the UK.

Or you can buy them in advance see http://nationalrail.co.uk/ for rail times and ticket costs. The rate you pay for British train tickets is notoriously over-complex compared to some countries. There are advance fairs, off-peak fairs, concession fairs and so on. If unsure at a station, get the automatic ticket machine to give you a price and also go to a manned booth and ask for the price, you sometimes get different results. > - can I pay per credit card / mastercard or do they accept Euro? Most European Visa branded cars tend to work in the UK, Mastercard mostly also. No one will take Euros sadly. > (if not: is there a normal-priced ATM available at Birmingham > International? ATMs in England legally have to say if they charge a withdrawal charge for taking out money (over your normal bank's settlement fees). If it says "this machine costs X to withdraw money" then walk to the next machine, there are loads everywhere.

Chiltern are my local rail company - they are a surpassingly (for the UK) well run train company. The trip from London Marylebone to Birmingham Snow Hill is not as fast as from London Euston to Birmingham New Street but you will almost certainly get a seat and the train will depart and arrive pretty much on time.

That's ok given I don't care much about where I sit. On the other hand, if I book the tutorials I'd like to know in advance whether the ones I'm interested in are still open for more participants. :-) >> Assuming the tutorials have an upper limit of participants, >> it would probably be a good idea if I was able to check if >> these individual tutorials are full before booking the >> tutorial days. > > You didn't say which ones?

If you're travelling at an off-peak time, then four of you can get the train for the cost of two people with a groupsave ticket (ask the ticket office at the station). I reckon this will be cheapest.

Hmm, I don't think that analogy holds true. The current system is a bit like buying a ticket without knowing the destination and, indeed, having to buy 4 tickets even if you can only fly on two of the dates. Hopefully something we can work on for next year...

I reckon this will be cheapest. This is a good tip. EuroPython people who arrive at the airport should look around for others, and get groupsave tickets. Kit -- Kit BLAKE ?

Take the Rail/Air Link to Birmingham International train station ( 1 minute ) Take a train to Birmingham New Street Station (10 minutes) Walk to your hotel (10 minutes) A taxi will be quicker, and most taxi drivers are OK, but some may rip you off. You can take a bus as well, but have a longer walk to your hotel. If you use a taxi, it's probably best to go to the station via the Rail/Air link and take a taxi there (less likely to be ripped off than the airport).

I would recommend getting the train from Birmingham International to Birmingham New Street and then deciding on walk/taxi from there.

Hiya Juh, the airport is quite a way from the city centre and taxis in the UK are quite expensive especially as at airports you can only use black cabs. Fortunately Brum is unusual in actually having a train station at the airport so you're almost certainly better off getting the train.

Follow the signs to the Conference Centre off the A38 and that will naturally take you to the car parks. There is a map accessible from this web page: http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/GenerateContent?CONTENT_ITEM_ID=25731&CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE=0&MENU_ID=12077 and the most convenient is the Brindley Drive Multi-storey, No 6. The small open air one, Civic Centre, No 7 is the most expensive. If you want to pay even more there are on-street spaces near the entry to the Copthorne Hotel on Paradise Circus. You might be better off using the train, depending upon your distance from the station at Leamington Spa. Q.

Private hire will be cheaper: try ringing a2b cars on +44 (0)121 733 3000, they have cars up there all the time (so you shouldn't have to wait too long) and the cost should be about ?13. This is *not* a recommendation. If you think you're getting ripped off, record the cab's number on it's taxi registration plate (note: not the vehicle registration).

I just noticed that deadline for slides which was given in a mail that I haven't paid enough attentation to (I read it as "if you're ready, we'd like to include your material"). I haven't noticed there to be a hard requirement set to two days ago until now. I'm a bit surprised about the deadline and won't be able to submit any slides for my apprenticeship talk (my tutorial stuff is available already).

ACCU still has not got many talk slides available, weeks after the conference. It seems that having a deadline for a CD/DVD may be the only way to get the speakers to produce the goods. However well-intentioned people are, after the conference we're all knackered and somehow it just doesn't get done. We just need to manage the process better I think. I think this year at EP we need to get the session chairs to insist that the speakers give them their slides there and then, let's issue them all with USB memory sticks. > > > So they have until tomorrow lunchtime, preferable earlier. > > > I'll try and finish mine tonight and upload but . . .

The old cliche is "more canals than Venice" which is true, however we are qutie a bit bigger than Venice. The nearest canal is just a short walk from the conference venue, and it's even closer to some of the hotels on Broad Street. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.47742&mlon=-1.90982&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF The red dotted line is the footpath/towpath, and the blue bit is ... well the canal :) I keep plugging OpenStreetMap because it has all this data that is just no available in Google Maps.

I found it on openstreetmap.org: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.47742&mlon=-1.90982&zoom=16&layers=B000FTF The map shows footpaths as red dotted lines, very convenient.

There is GNUStep, which aims to reimplement a lot of things for free software platforms, but AFAIK it's been unmaintained for some time now, and therefore support for it was removed from PyObjC.

If anyone asks this question again, hopefully someone else (e.g. anyone reading this) can provide the answer. This is because EuroPython is a community conference organised by volunteers, by the delegates themselves, we all have day jobs so it might take a little time for a reply. As a community conference, everyone is expected to contribute in some way, organising something, giving a talk, answering other people's questions to the best of their ability, keeping up with the mailing list etc. Anyway, if you booked your hotel through our registration form, then it is the Canalside hotel. To the hotel everyone is anonymous until the last second. You are all just one of the EuroPython bookings. Ringing them directly may indeed elicit no useful answer!

They do not serve food, however you are welcome to bring any food you wish to eat and they will provide plates and cutlery.

Apparently Google Maps search limits the results geographically, so a search for "EuroPython" found the maps for 2007 and 2008 conferences in Vilnius, but to find the current one I had to search for "EuroPython 2009, Birmingham, UK".

Ok, I think I will arrive at T2 and the rest at T1 so I have 30 mins to get to T1. So let's meet at that bar! And we have to pass the ticket office on the way to the train anyway.

In my experience, it can be quite useful and not so difficult to arrange some backup plans: 1) what you really need is probably just a working intranet. Some laptops can be used as wifi access points, if one of the participants can provide this you should be good. Alternatively there exists light weight "travel routers", though maybe it's a bit short time now to search for such a thing. Alternatively, "ordinary" access points are cheap and can be borrowed or bought anywhere and should serve you well. 2) GPRS/UMTS works almost anywhere. It should be sufficient that one of the participants have a cheap UK subscription and the possibility to use it from his own laptop or share it out.

We have held two UK Python conferences and two Linux conferences in the venue without losing anyone yet, praise to Christ/Allah/Guido. I will try to answer you. Firstly, we will give extensive safety and other information at the conference opening. The venue (a university) provides its own stewards, if you have a first-aid problem please go to the stewards who will call the relevant people. If you have a problem outside the venue, please phone NHS direct on 0845 4647 for minor problems, or 999 or 112 (your choice) for emergencies. There is also a 'Boots' pharmacy within walking distance of the venue. Incidentally, nurses qualify for the concession rate. See you at EuroPython! Yay!

Quite likely - signal attenuation has a lot to do with the frequency and the environment. An environment that's not conducive wifi signals won't be good for UMTS. Anyway what is it with this obsession with being online all the time?

In the event of an accident, it falls upon the "Disaster Management" team, which Zeth and I have volunteered for, to handle it, whether it be a projector dying on us to someone falling over and breaking their leg (I really hope that doesn't happen)! Luckily, well perhaps unluckily, for you I have first aid experience and training, so in the event of an emergency, you have the stewards and a few other delegates running round (I hope it's not just me) with the necessary training to handle the situation. Judging from Zeth's response too, there's also a safety introduction before the conference, so I hope that this can help answer your question! - -- Christopher Swift http://launchpad.net/~chris PGP Key: 0x10A0B8E -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkpF8qsACgkQYckxdhCgq446cgCfeMoFzRpMPY9JkjSdaCQAfJP5 2OQAnAqb3XcvR3FcGC0v6KMjJvtFNw+O =vYxh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From funthyme at gmail.com Sat Jun 27 12:31:21 2009 From: funthyme at gmail.com (John Pinner) Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2009 11:31:21 +0100 Subject: [EuroPython] reservation.append(0, day) In-Reply-To: <3FE658B3-BA1D-4AC5-9E66-6D9D936CEEDF@dalkescientific.com> References: <3FE658B3-BA1D-4AC5-9E66-6D9D936CEEDF@dalkescientific.com> Message-ID: Hello Andrew, 2009/6/27 Andrew Dalke > Hi! > > I had hoped to stay with a friend on Sunday evening but that fell threw.

Unfortunately, we do not know if you intended to share when you booked a room, so now if you wish to share you may get a double room. I've asked the hotel to give this message from me: """ I'm sorry if you have not got a twin room. You booked a room in your name and that has been reserved and paid for you by EuroPython 2009. The Premier Inn, like most hotels, have both twin and double rooms. If you asked me to reserve a twin room for you, I will have done this. If not the Premier Inn will have done their best to help you, but the hotel is full and probably can't help by reallocating rooms. Please do not blame the hotel for this: they are doing their best in difficult circumstances. Do not give them a hard time! If you talk to other delegates they may be able to swap rooms with you so that every one is happy. """ best wishes, John -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You're first on on Wednesday morning, so you can test with the project in the room beforehand. You could test the day before with a spare projector we will have, but the one in the main Adrian Boult Hall is quite a different beast. You can assume that all the projectors will handle a 1024x768 image, some may do better but that is not quaranteed.

Kit, There is a good selection of eaterys on Brindley Place, near the conservatoire (EP venue). The Brass House is there, just on the main road and I believe they do real ale and british food. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.47684&mlon=-1.91237&zoom=17 -- Alex Willmer http://moreati.org.uk/blog -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm not sure why you don't look at the EP website ;-) That's why we did it. http://europython.eu/about/eatingout/ Try either of the pub recommendations: The Black Eagle or The Bull. They are both pub/restaurants. The Bull is more of a pub, the Black Eagle more of a restaurant. Both serve proper beer. If you go to the Bull, tell the landlady Rose that I sent you. Another possibility is The Bucklemaker, 30 Mary Ann Street, St Paul's Square, Birmingham B3 1RL, http://www.bucklemaker.co.uk which may be a bit too internationalised for you.

If anyone is interested in taking a bit of time on rotation manning the table and showing people demos of Plone stuff then let me know. -Matt -- Matt Hamilton matth at netsight.co.uk Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd.

Thus I suspect that either a) somebody who is at the Premier Inn now does not know how to use their computer system as well as the woman who was working it 2 days ago. or b) somebody has completely wrecked our reservation, deleting all the information that they used to have. I will get John to speak with them, and we can provide the list to them again, but this problem was all solved days ago, so it is annoying to see it back again.

Well, the venue is the Birmingham Conservatoire, so the place is full of music students; also the venue's stewards are (mostly) music students or ex-students. They may know of practice guitars (rather than treasured performance instruments) which might be available.

Lots of people (hopefully) will be putting up blog posts, videos, photos of the conference on the net. And many will also hopefully use Twitter to spread the word. It would be good to use tags for that: So for blog posts, videos and all the media stuff maybe use "europython" and "europython2009". Put this wherever the system allows you to put tags (without the quotes). In case of blog posts you can simply use this HTML snippet: (Wordpress should create this for you automatically, maybe with different URLs). On Twitter it's a bit different because of the size limit. I would suggest to use the hashtag #europython. I would also advise to not use @europython as this is not that easily findable and recognizable by usual twitter tools. IMHO this should only be used by organizers to make an official post. So hopefully that way we will make stuff more findable and might also get the europython tag to bubble up on e.g. twitter trending topics etc. -- christian -- Christian Scholz Homepage: http://comlounge.net COM.lounge GmbH blog: http://mrtopf.de/blog Hanbrucher Str. 33 Skype: HerrTopf 52064 Aachen Video Blog: http://comlounge.tv Tel: +49 241 400 730 0 E-Mail cs at comlounge.net Fax: +49 241 979 00 850 IRC: MrTopf, Tao_T neuer Podcast: Der OpenWeb-Podcast (http://openwebpodcast.de) new podcast: Data Without Borders (http://datawithoutborders.net) From cs at comlounge.net Tue Jun 30 13:32:20 2009 From: cs at comlounge.net (Christian Scholz) Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:32:20 +0100 Subject: [EuroPython] Please upload your slides to slideshare.com Message-ID: <4A49F7C4.2000406@comlounge.net> Hi!

Message-ID: <20e5c9660906301306o7cec3be8sd8b05f557d5a9bf8@mail.gmail.com> Hi, I've had a few people mention that wished they'd been able to make the tutorial on sunday, but weren't arriving until later, and want to gauge if there's interest from anyone in attending an open space session on kamaelia, cherry picking parts of the tutorial? Walkthrough, discussion or people interested in cannibalising it for other stuff ? (Not the full tutorial obviously, though, that'd be crazy :-) If there is any, I'll put a session up. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it's basically unix style ethos in python, except generators/threads/processs instead of processes, python objects instead of text streams & inboxes/outboxes instead of file handles. ie Unix pipelines gives you concurrency more or less for free, and I wanted the same in standard software, and particularly python. Not really for the concurrency (though we were dealing with naturally concurrent problems), but because it's maintainable. We recently realised that some of our higher level components boil down to implementing bash/shell language features -- which isn't too surprising when you consider that bash shell systems are basic concurrency languages (one that just hopes no-one notices ;). If anyone's interested in exploring that in python (kamaelia or filterpype, or fibra, or stackless, or disco, or ...), the that'd be interesting too.
