Perhaps a CAT5 lead for the sole use of speakers thus by-passing wifi wobbles might be possible..? It's a nice-to-have rather than essential element of my talk and I don't want to put anyone to any trouble - organising Europython is probably hard enough as it is...

Delegates over-using the system, for instance downloading videos and iso images, which you can only call crass stupidity. 2. People messing with the system. For example wifi stopped working in one room completely. It turned out that a presenter had unplugged the Access Point from the network, and plugged the cable direct into his laptop, then left the AP unplugged after his talk. 3. Changes made by the venue to the system which we had put in the year before (which worked well). > - will there be some means of guaranteeing Internet connectivity for the speakers (I'd love to do a "live" demo during one of my talks and in order to do that I'd need a connection)? Perhaps a CAT5 lead for the sole use of speakers thus by-passing wifi wobbles might be possible..? Difficult, in general the cabling infrastructure at the venue does not permit, and we are not allowed to mess with it. The wifi should be quite adequate, providing that delegtes are sensible in their usage. (And using your laptop, eg for remote system support, during talks is extremely discourteous to the speaker). We should have extra bandwidth this year, and more access points, so there really should not be a problem if delegates co-operate. > > It's a nice-to-have rather than essential element of my talk and I don't want to put anyone to any trouble - organising Europython is probably hard enough as it is... you can say that again! > > Thanks in advance and looking forward to it, Thanks, and Best Wishes, John -- EuroPython is coming! - http://www.europython.eu - 17th-24th July 2010, Birmingham, UK From luke.leighton at gmail.com Thu Jul 1 20:29:55 2010 From: luke.leighton at gmail.com (Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton) Date: Thu, 1 Jul 2010 18:29:55 +0000 Subject: [EuroPython] Internet connectivity for speakers In-Reply-To: <0DE72861-E224-4234-868B-48B82BC33AF5@ntoll.org> References: <0DE72861-E224-4234-868B-48B82BC33AF5@ntoll.org> Message-ID: On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 12:05 PM, Nicholas Tollervey wrote: > Hi Guys, > > I have a question: given last years rather problematic wifi - will there be some means of guaranteeing Internet connectivity for the speakers (I'd love to do a "live" demo during one of my talks and in order to do that I'd need a connection)? Perhaps a CAT5 lead for the sole use of speakers thus by-passing wifi wobbles might be possible..? a 3G USB dongle as backup i found, generally, worked well, despite warnings received about mobile phone connectivity being "extremely patchy" in the concrete-steel-laced building. i have two - one three.co.uk and one vodafone: the vodafone one doesn't have any credit on it but if you're stuck that's easily rectified. usbserial modprobe aliases are all that's required - unlike the newer usb dongles from huawei which deep joy of joys are registered as a usb memory stick when they power up, and require a USB message sent to them (for which there is even a debian package including a udev hotplug script... deep joy) in order to get them to flip over to usbserial. l.

A description of the role of the session chair can be found on the wiki: http://wiki.europython.eu/SessionTeam "The primary duty of the session chair is to make sure that the speakers start, and more importantly, stop on time. It is not fair to other speakers or to delegates if the conference has fallen behind the timetable." If you'd like to help, but don't want to over-commit, feel free to volunteer to chair a limited number of talks. Every little helps! We will give a briefing to all session chairs at the start of the conference to ensure that everyone feels comfortable with what is expected of them. Being a session chair only takes a few minutes at the start and end of each talk session but it makes the proceedings run much more smoothly. It also makes the speakers feel more relaxed if there is someone there to great them and ensure that they have what they need and to help solve any issues (or at least sympathise). So please sign up to chair a few sessions. Just add your name to the Session Chairs table on the wiki: http://wiki.europython.eu/VolunteersByActivity#Session_Chairs. If you have an questions please drop me an email and I will do what I can to answer them. See you all at the conference.

I'm sorry to comunicate this now, but it's a had this new only 2 days ago. This means i won't be able to have my talk and won't be able to help. I'm really sorry for that. As I've booked the hotel using the conference booking system, can I directly contact the hotel to cancel my reservation? It'd be good to still have the possibility to cancel the hotel as I'm getting no refund for my flight cancellation. Don't need refund for the conference ticket as it's the only help i can give to the conference this year. I'm sorry again.

Walking to the hotel seems no problem. Hi Guido, Snow Hill might be the closest station but Birmingham New Street is the main station in Birmingham. You are best off getting the Tube to Euston (about 45 minutes) where you can get the train to New Street. You will have to buy separate tickets for the Tube and the train but you will be able to buy them at the stations. http://nationalrail.co.uk is the website for train travel in the UK - takes about 2 hours 30 minutes.

As a general rule, trains from London to Snow Hill are slower but cheaper than those arriving at New Street. You can walk up and buy tickets on the day - but they are usually horrendously expensive. You can book your tickets on line and collect them from a machine at the station, using a reference number that has been emailed to you and your debit/credit card. ------ Mary Mooney DEUK "A well-developed sense of humour is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.

Hop on the Heathrow Express -> Paddington Station. Circle or Hammersmith & City Tube lines from Paddington -> Euston Square Tube station. *Walk* from Euston Square Tube station to Euston rail station (5 mins well signposted). Euston -> Birmingham New Street station. (Virgin trains are much faster [1h20mins] but more expensive [?40-ish for a single]. London-Midland = cheap but slow depending on where they stop). Trains go every 15-20 minutes depending on the time of day. Birmingham Conservatoire is a 5-10 minute walk from Birmingham New Street (for a fast walker like me). You might be able to buy a single ticket at the Heathrow Station that covers the whole journey rather than buying a Zone 6 journey to central London then the Virgin/London Midland ticket to Birmingham. Finally, make sure your Euston -> Birmingham ticket is *valid* as both Virgin & London Midland have all sorts of daft restrictions that they don't make obvious - the ticket clerk will be able to sell you the right one since the ticket inspector on the train would be delighted to charge you extra if he catches you out.

I don't know about printing. I think there was a deadline for submission of tutorial materials to be printed by us, I think it was over a week ago. Sorry if that wasn't clear. Otherwise, I don't know what to suggest other than finding a print shop. There are not yet known numbers for tutorial attendees. We haven't asked attendees to select their tutorials yet. I hope we can do that this week and let you know a few days before the conference. Sorry for the short notice on that.

It takes about twice as long but costs less than half as much. They're every 30 minutes, and the transfer from T5 to T123 is free. Just a thought if you want to save some money :) You could also just get the Piccadilly line from Heathrow T5, which is even cheaper, change at Green Park for the Victoria line to Euston, then take the train up to Birmingham. This will take you maybe 50% longer than the train+tube method via Paddington.

This is where traintimes.org.uk comes into its own: http://traintimes.org.uk/heathrow%20terminal%205/birmingham/12:00/saturday It's recommendations are generally pretty close to common sense, and match the rest of the thread - with one exception - it notes that there's engineering work on the underground on 17th and 18th this weekend. The quickest route would appear to be a bus. The route I'd take would be tube on piccadilly line to Kings Cross, and then walk from Kings Cross to Euston. (Come out station, turn right down Euston Road; it's about a 10 minute walk - 1/2 mile - and I don't walk fast) Then train from Euston to Birmingham New Street. I wouldn't take it because it's the quickest, but because it's the least hassle. Michael.

To clarify: Whether you are arriving for tutorials, or the start of the core conference on Monday, you can just turn up to the Birmingham Conservatoire, and people or signage will be present on reception to guide your way. The venue details, and links to other resources such as directions and maps, are here: http://www.europython.eu/about/venue/ For those of you who are attending the tutorials this weekend, now is your chance to register for which tutorials you want! From the timetable: http://www.europython.eu/talks/tutorials_timetable/ click on the tutorials to see their description. Click on the 'Additional Information...' link at the bottom of each tutorial you want to attend. This will take you to a wiki page for that specific tutorial, and you should add your name to the 'Attendees' section. These choices are not absolutely final, but are critical for us and tutors to judge things like how many handouts to print. Many thanks, and have a fabulous conference. See you there!

What you'll need to do is: In a morning session: * Borrow the cameras we'll provide you. * Go to 3 talks which are all in one room, and not the Adrian Boult room, and record them. (ie sit near the front, point camera right way & hit record) * At lunch time return the cameras *straight away*. (This is to allow them to be recharged - they can't run off mains) In afternoon session: * Pick up the camera after lunch. * Go to 3 talks which are all in one room, and not the Adrian Boult room, and record them. (ie sit near the front, point camera right way & hit record) * In the afternoon break return the cameras *straight away*. (This is to allow them to be emptied) The little oddity is that you'll be provided with 3 cameras (and a tripod) and asked to use them to record 1 talk per camera. The oddity is caused by the fact that the batteries last slightly more than a talk's slot, and that the batteries in the camera can't be charged at the same time as the camera is in use, and the cameras the europython team have can't be mains powered. If you're willing to help out, please bear in mind you'll be expected to record 3 talks, and it would *really* help if you could sign up for a whole day. (ie record 3 talks before lunch and 3 talks after lunch) I currently have 1 volunteer to cover 1 day (though not specified which yet), please add yourself: (and/or mail me) http://wiki.europython.eu/VolunteersByActivity#Talk_video_recording (Richard: I've put you down for monday - I hope that's OK) In case you're wondering why my name isn't on that grid, the reason is because I'll have another camera with me which *can* be mains powered, and I'll be recording every session I attend - which should be 4 in the morning and 5 in the afternoon - so probably 31 talks in all (including keynotes), in addition to the 21 to be recorded by other volunteers. Additionally, I'll be recording all the lightning talks. I'll be arriving on Saturday afternoon/evening, and at the Conservatoire on sunday, with the intent of talking through what's happening with vounteers, and if anyone is interested in having their tutorial recorded on sunday, please let me know - it'd be useful to have a test run. Finally, if you're thinking "I've never used a video camera I can't do this" - I'd never used a video camera before Europython last year, and including all the lightling talks, I ended up recording pretty much every single session I attended, and the videos are here: http://europython09.blip.tv/ . You can make a difference. (Incidentally, if anyone else is attending with their own video camera etc, please do come forward, any extra videos beyond the planned would be useful to include) Regards, Michael.

It's so much easier. +1 on the national express coach, I take it all the time. However, I do have the ability to sleep the whole journey, and/or read/use computer the whole way without getting travel sick. One tip is to stack up on water and cold food at the airport (hot food is not allowed on the bus). You book the bus online and print yourself the ticket: http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/airport/Airport-Foreign-Landing-Page-Coach-English.aspx If you miss the coach you are booked on, you can normally just get the next one. (You can sometimes also blag your way onto an earlier one too if your plan lands early). Might be worth listening to this song before you start! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3NVPOedkEk Otherwise the train will work by just turning up, although very expensive in comparison. Sometimes savings can be made by booking in advance.

There are 14 JavaScript related talks at this EuroPython (listed at http://wiki.europython.eu/JavaScript). I thought it would be nice for all interested in JavaScript to meet in person and as a group, so I've set up a meeting as part of the main talks schedule. It's currently scheduled for Wednesday at 9.45am in the Library Theatre. That's right after the keynote. To help you choose, other talks scheduled at that time are Taming Twisted with Generators: Raymond Hettinger What I learnt at PyCon: Jason Kirtland Organise a Python code dojo!: Nicholas Tollervey I organised a similar meeting as part of EuroPython 2008 (in Vilnius) and it went well. As I recall there were about 20 of us, mostly divided into two groups, (1) those coming into JavaScript from Python, and (2) those for whom browser scripting has been for a long time their main activity.

The official refund policy is in the Terms and Conditions: http://www.europython.eu/registration/terms.html You initiate a refund by asking the contact given with your registration: vanessa at clocksoft.com or me, or via the europython-contact at python.org list. If you registered within the last three months, then we can refund your card if you paid with one, otherwise we have to raise a cheque and there are charges involved. If your registration included hotel bookings (which your's did not, Tris), then these cannot be refunded as the hotel bookings were all finalised this morning, and it would be up to you to try to sell your room to another conference delegate.

Pretty sure it is legal with some minor exceptions. What I can find online backs that up (i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchhiking#Legal_status ) I've only very rarely seen hitch hikers in the UK, so how successful it will be is another matter altogether.

Hi Anatoly, you can probably plan a train journey using the German rail website - say Minsk to Berlin which takes about 19 hours. Birmingham is probably another 10 hours by train from there (via Cologne and Brussels) http://www.bahn.de/i/view/GBR/en/index.shtml But that won't be cheap because of the channel tunnel trains. Might be better getting to Poland and getting a coach. It looks like Bialystok - London is a single route: http://www.eurolinespolska.pl/index.php > Speaking about alternatives, does anybody how long it could take to > hitchhike through > the Europe from Poland to UK these days? I hope that hitchhiking in > Europe is not > illegal like in U.S. Hitchhiking is certainly legal but can take quite a while but it's certainly something I'd not want to do in the current heat wave, from which the UK has just escaped.

Two months ago Ryanair offered Kaunas-Birmingham return tickets for around $250. Unfortunately now that flight is sold out. You could have gotten to Kaunas by train quite easily I imagine. > Speaking about alternatives, does anybody how long it could take to > hitchhike through the Europe from Poland to UK these days? I hope > that hitchhiking in Europe is not illegal like in U.S. If you look clean clean and unintimidating, dress in bright colours, follow the main routes and don't get stuck in the middle of nowhere, you can plan the average travel speed of around 50 km/h. In Germany you can easily reach 100 km/h. Speaking of Poland, it makes sense to spend 6 hours at the border and find a car that will take you to the other border. You might have problems at the UK border. Hope this helps. Good luck with finding a good train route.

I was able to plan the route using the link by Richard http://plannerint.b-rail.be/bin/query.exe/en?L=b-rail But there are no prices, unfortunately, and I've been told that the trip will be expensive anyway. Going by train will take 31 hours one way or about 3 days for a round trip. Total distance is 2400km, so even by car it will take 2 days one way with one driver. So travelling by bus or hitchhiking is not an option - I just won't get there in time. Given all the above, I might have better chances visiting the next PyCon - last time tickets to California and back were about 1300$, so it should be even less expensive for Atlanta, GA. Seems like with due preparation in advance I could be able to find cheap flights. I'll be aware of the fact next time. Thanks for the help. Have a good time at this EuroPython. ;) -- anatoly t.

The best options for flights are via Frankfurt or Warsaw if you're traveling from Minsk. Trains take ages and are not all that much cheaper. Buses are the cheapest option, but also risky. BTW: Getting visas will be the bigger problem and take a lot longer than finding cheap flights. If you plan to attend EPC next year, you're lucky, since the Schengen VISA for Italy will suffice. For the UK, you'd have to get an extra UK visa, in addition to a Schengen one to cover the stop-over in Frankfurt or Warsaw, AFAIK. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jul 16 2010) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2010-07-19: EuroPython 2010, Birmingham, UK 2 days to go ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.

[1] http://mail.python.org/pipermail/europython/2009-July/007488.html With volunteers we can raise this number to nearly 2 tracks. Without volunteers - you gentle reader - we cannot. I'm only looking for one volunteer each morning, and one volunteer each afternoon. (It's easier if it's the same volunteer in the morning and afternoon.) You won't be recording after the break in the afternoon. You don't need to have used a video camera before - I hadn't before last year. All in all, you are signing up to record a minimum of 3 talks, and preferably 6. Possibly more if you like :-) The current volunteers for slots looks like this: * Monday AM : -- * Monday PM : -- * Tuesday AM : Richard Barran (Room: Library Theatre, then after break: Recital Hall) * Tuesday PM : RichardBarran (Room: Recital Hall, then after break: Library Theatre) * Wednesday AM: -- * Wednesday PM: WalterPy (Room: Library Theatre) * Thursday AM: WalterPy (Room: New Lecture Theatre) (WalterPy you'll note that I've removed your kind offer of recording alongside Richard Barran in Tuesday AM and PM, but there isn't sufficient resources for that as far as I know at this instant - I'll know more in the morning) (RichardBarran - there aren't sufficient resources to do before and after the break in the afternoon) For reference, this is /my/ planned recording schedule: Sunday AM : Which ever tutorial would like me to record it Sunday PM : Which ever tutorial would like me to record it Monday AM, prebreak -- Adrian Boult /Library Theatre Monday AM, postbreak -- Library Theatre Monday PM, prebreak -- Library Theatre Monday PM, postbreak -- Adrian Boult Tuesday AM, prebreak -- Adrian Boult Tuesday AM, postbreak -- Library Theatre Tuesday PM, prebreak -- Adrian Boult Tuesday PM, postbreak -- Adrian Boult Wednesday AM, prebreak -- Adrian Boult / New Lecture Theatre Wednesday AM, postbreak -- Recital Hall Wednesday PM, prebreak -- Lecture Room 1 Wednesday PM, postbreak -- Recital Hall Thursday AM, prebreak -- Adrian Boult / Library Theatre Thursday AM, postbreak -- (Recital Hall) Thursday PM - Adrian Boult (lightning talks & close) ... ie I'm not asking you to do anything I wouldn't do myself! As noted above, I'm only looking for 1-3 volunteers now to cover these slots: * Monday AM : -- * Monday PM : -- * Wednesday AM: -- What am I asking you to do? Volunteer! Collect some cameras. Go to interesting talks & record them. (1 talk per camera) Return cameras at the start of lunch or start of afternoon break. Go on... You know you want to!

It isn't anything like a virus, the problem is that I hadn't properly checked what was on the drives and there is a potentially serious copyright violation. Basically I need people to delete some stuff that they copied in good faith. If we can get this sorted before people copy thing further then it will ease my mind.

The call charge is not great at 20p / minute, each ?5 top up on a Three PAYG SIM comes with 150 MB of data allowance.

At the moment, we're planning to meet at 8pm (around the main entrance - see the wiki in case someone writes better instructions for that) and dinner at 8:30pm. You're welcome to go straight to the cafe too. If many people request we move the booking earlier (we have +1 so far) then that might happen, although I prefer to keep it the original time to reduce confusion. Check the wiki sometime tomorrow afternoon just in case please. Once again: http://wiki.europython.eu/Socials , add your name if you want to come. It's only a small place!

This is something I've seen at other conferences like Eurographics and SIGGRAPH; it's both very useful and great fun. It's sort of like a condensed version of the lightning talks (which have been great so far, BTW). The idea is that everyone who's giving a talk gets 30 secs to come up on stage and give an overview/sales pitch for their talk. As a delegate, it makes it a lot easier to figure out which talks will be interesting to you. You can get a feel for both the topic and the speaker, much more so than with a published abstract and speaker bio. As a speaker, you get to gauge audience interest in your topic. Some people just give a summary of their talk, some people go for poetry or song or get even more creative. Did I mention it's great fun? :-) If you think it sounds like a good idea I'm happy to provide further details on how to run it smoothly. Hope that's useful, Vil.

So if you are using Plone, or interested in Plone, or just want to come along and find out a bit more about it (or just want to come for the mini beer and pie festival) then go register your tickets now: http://www.ploneconf2010.org/ We are expecting over 400 delegates from around 30 countries to be attending, with over 50 talks, plus training, sprints, and an un-conference day. For those of you wondering 'what the hell is a Plone?!', Plone is an Open Source python web content management system used by all sorts of organisations worldwide (Oxfam, NASA, Warwickshire Police Force, Novell, etc) for their public websites or intranets. It has been under active development for almost a decade, with over 10,000 svn commits to the core system in the last 12 months alone. As a slight aside... if you want to see how quick it is to get up and running, here is a screencast I just did at Europython yesterday in which I go from nothing but python installed to fully installed and running Plone instance in under 3 minutes: http://is.gd/dAqs1 -Matt -- Matt Hamilton ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? matth at netsight.co.uk Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd. ? ? ? ? ?Business Vision on the Internet http://www.netsight.co.uk ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? +44 (0)117 9090901 Web Design | Zope/Plone Development and Consulting | Co-location | Hosting _______________________________________________ python-uk mailing list python-uk at python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk -- Alex Willmer http://moreati.org.uk/blog From tom at tomdunham.org Thu Jul 22 23:26:54 2010 From: tom at tomdunham.org (Thomas Dunham) Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2010 22:26:54 +0100 Subject: [EuroPython] where are the sprints being held?

From sparks.m at gmail.com Sat Jul 24 15:35:34 2010 From: sparks.m at gmail.com (Michael Sparks) Date: Sat, 24 Jul 2010 14:35:34 +0100 Subject: [EuroPython] Blogs, slides, audio, video In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: All the talks videoed will be appearing here over the coming week or so: * http://europythonvideos.blip.tv/ There's over 100 videos to be transcoded and uploaded, so please be patient. :-) This includes all the keynotes, lightning talks and dozens more :-) I'll be starting with uploading the lightning talks though, primarily because they don't need transcoding since they're short and smaller than blip's maximum file size! The final amount of video for those curious was 155GB. (Would've been closer to 160GB, had it not been for the killer projector vs the thinkpads. Hm. Probably a pyweek game in that...) Michael.
