Laura From jacob at strakt.com Wed Dec 8 15:19:01 2004 From: jacob at strakt.com (Jacob =?iso-8859-1?q?Hall=E9n?=) Date: Wed Dec 8 15:19:04 2004 Subject: [EuroPython] Exact dates for Europython Message-ID: <200412081519.01139.jacob@strakt.com> Hello folks! To begin with, I'd like to apologise for not calling to meetings. I have been extremely busy and unfortunately Europython items have had to stand back for a while. I now have some items for Europython at the top of my agenda. I've listed some of them below. I would prefer to have a discussion on the mailing list to start with, and then we will make formal decisions in a meeting a little later. One of them is to set down the exact dates for the conference itself. We have reconfirmed with SGS Veckobost?der that they have reserved their rooms for us from 26 June to 3 July. SInce we would probably prefer to have the main sprint activities after the conference, rather than before, this suggests that we should do like last year and hold the conference Monday-Wednesday, setting the conference dates to 27-29 June. I would also like to suggest that we keep the arrangements with a pub on the first night of the conference and a banquet on the second night. For the banquet, we are talking to a new chef who is hot on the idea of cooking for us. This should mean better food for the vegetarians. For the pub, I think last years arrangements were a success and we should be able to repeat that. We also need to set the scene for keynotes. Last year we had Guido and Mark Shuttleworth. We were also late booking the big auditorium, which left Guido's keynote in the main conference venue. We should fix this by booking early. The things we need to decide about keynotes are a) is 2 keynotes enough, or do we want a third one? If so, when should we have it? b) Steve Alexander has suggested asking Adele Goldberg to be keynote speaker. Personally, I think this sounds great. Should we ask her, or do people have other names they would rather prefer? c) Do we ask Guido to hold a keynote again? I sort of assume yes, but I want to confirm that this is the general sentiment. d) are people happy with having the keynotes at the end of day 1 and 2? Next thing is conference rooms. By holding the conference after Mid-summer, we get a 50% discount on the rent for the rooms. This means that even with possibly increased prices, we should be able to increase the amount of space we have without increasing the conference fees. For instance, we could have the biggest room, 2 large ones and one small one. We could increase to 3 large ones and no small ones, but if we improve the scheduling, I don't think that will be necessary. In the feedback there were a lot of people asking that we serve breakfast. If we want to do this, I think it should be included in the conference fee. Otherwise we would probably have to take an economic risk by guaranteeing a certain amount of breakfast sales for the restaurant. My guess is that if we are conservative in the increase of conference space, we should be able to include breakfast with no rasie or only a modest raise in conference prices. So, please tell me what you think about serving breakfast. This is all that comes to mind right now. I'm sure I'll be back with more soon.

What does "breakfast" mean? If it means urns of coffee and piles of pastries, that sounds like a good thing to me.

We hereby invite speakers to submit proposals for talks. About the event =============== This will once again be held as a track within the ACCU conference. The conference site is here, and more details on the Python track will appear shortly. http://www.accu.org/conference/ The ACCU event is one of the foremost conferences for programmers, attracting the inventors and/or leading proponents of C, C++, Java, .NET and Python over the last few years. Past Python speakers have included Guido van Rossum, David Ascher, Alex Martelli, Armin Rigo, Paul Everitt, Marc-Andre Lemburg and many others, and the ACCU now treats Python as being fully on par with Java and C++. The event is priced midway between commercial and community events, at approx. ?100 per day, and is professionally managed. It is located in a historic hotel in the centre of Oxford and is ideal for anyone wanting to combine a holiday with a conference. Conference Format ================= The Python conference will span THREE days, with ONE track. The first slot each morning is taken by the cross-conference keynote. This was the overwhelming preference of those we polled last year. (There will NOT be a separate Open Source track this year; the "rotating special subject" is Security. As a result, Python-related security talks would be of interest) You may propose 90 minute or 45 minute talks. The ACCU's general preference is for a small number of high quality, well prepared talks on subjects of broad interest to programmers, and the Python track will follow this. There will also be space for less formal lunchtime talks, evening BOFs and other events. Speakers' compensation is yet to be confirmed, but in the past those doing 90 mimutes (or 2x45 minute talks) will be eligible for 4 days paid accomodation and admission to the 4 day event; 45 minute speakers will gain 1 day's admission. Where possible, we will attempt to allocate resources to ensure that the best speakers are able to attend irrespective of circumstances. Submission Procedure =================== Please send an email to pyuk2005_talks@reportlab.com not later than 26th December, with the following information: Your Name Short Biography Talk Title Talk Synopsis This is a simple mailbox; the committee will review and acknowledge submissions a couple of times a week. If this shows promise, you will be given a chance to refine the details through a web based system later. Committee ========= A small committee will be formed to scrutinize talk proposals including those whol volunteered last year. This includes myself, Dr. Tim Couper and Dr. John Lee. General discussion about the event should be directed to the python-uk list (python-uk@python.org) ReportLab Europe Ltd. is managing parts of the event infrastructure and will be providing some staff time to provide a guaranteed point of contact. --- Best Regards Andy Robinson CEO/Chief Architect ReportLab Europe Ltd tel +44-20-8544-8049 From dario at ita.chalmers.se Fri Dec 10 09:58:01 2004 From: dario at ita.chalmers.se (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Dario_Lopez-K=E4sten?=) Date: Fri Dec 10 09:58:08 2004 Subject: [EuroPython] Next irc meeting In-Reply-To: <200412091447.iB9ElNNQ020624@ratthing-b246.strakt.com> References: <200412060850.iB68oPHF006289@ratthing-b246.strakt.com> <41B860CD.1040708@ita.chalmers.se> <200412091447.iB9ElNNQ020624@ratthing-b246.strakt.com> Message-ID: <41B96519.5060806@ita.chalmers.se> Laura Creighton wrote: > Laura, who wants to know how Thursday 17:00 works for everybody else > as well.

One thing we really need is a better way for folks to find past presentation materials that were uploaded. Alex was trying to find a presentation he'd seen at EP2004 - he gave up.

Apologies for the cross-post] Greetings, my organisation needs to hold one or more sessions of Zope training to meet current and future development and deployment needs. We use Zope as one of several (Web-)Application frameworks, and we typically need to interface and cooperate with external data sources (for example, User Management with Kerberos and other external User Sources providing user data - meaning we cannot base our UserFolders' data on Zope alone). We will have a group of 8-12 people, most - if not all - experienced developers who will need to learn how to develop Applications on Zope, CMF, Plone and CPS. Participants can be assumed to know how to develop in Python (we will make sure of that). We also want to focus on efficient ways to make Zope talk to Oracle, LDAP and MySQL (in that order) in an efficient and speedy manner, and how to develop high-speed, clusterable (ZEO) solutions with Zope-based technology. At the end of the course(s) we expect the participants to be able to have a thorough understanding of what kind of frameworks Zope, CMF, Plone and CPS are, what their differences and their similarities are. We also expect participants to know how to customise, adapt and develop applications based on Zope, CMF, CPS and Plone, how to develop add-ons to the above and how to develop Products that work with all of CMF, CPS and Plone. To clarify, we also expect participants to be tought development techniques with File System based tools - not only on the Product level but on a solution level (i.e. all customisations, etc, of a site should be script/FS based as well). The course(s) are scheduled to be held in March-April and possibly May, at Chalmers University of technology, G?teborg, Sweden. We are not exclusively looking for a single party to provide courses for all of Zope, CMF, CPS and Plone; for example, you are welcome to offer training that only covers Plone or CPS. While many of our participants can read and write english very well, they may be untrained in communicating verbally in English. It is therefore a plus if trainers are fluent in Swedish - it is an absolute requirement that trainers have good English communicative skills. Please send your initial proposals per mail to the following address: zope-training@ita.chalmers.se Please specify the following: - Acceptable number of particiants - What parts you are interested in - A draft description of the training contents - As estimate of the amount of work required from participants - Your estiamte on how many sessions are needed - Preliminary budget If you have any questions regarding this offer, please contact me directly at dario@ita.chalmers.se.

Hmm. Only one seems to have been held for moderation... (I'm looking into updating the ham/spam corpora for this list, but it's going slowly). Cheers, mwh -- This song is for anyone ... fuck it.

The dropdown menus are implemented (it works apparently well with IE6 / Mozilla / Firefox / Konqueror / Opera ) with another CSS method than the one cited above which does not use tables (cf.http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/ ) The top-level items 'EVENTS' and 'SPRINTS' have sub-items which can be clicked on. => http://europython-develop.zope.nl/ PS: This is not the actual navigation structure. /JM From chris at simplistix.co.uk Thu Dec 30 14:04:45 2004 From: chris at simplistix.co.uk (Chris Withers) Date: Thu Dec 30 14:04:48 2004 Subject: [EuroPython] IRC meeting log 2004-12-20 In-Reply-To: <41D17201.6000805@ita.chalmers.se> References: <41C710FF.20303@ita.chalmers.se> <41D17201.6000805@ita.chalmers.se> Message-ID: <41D3FCED.9050205@simplistix.co.uk> Jean-Marc Orliaguet wrote: > => http://europython-develop.zope.nl/ This actually looks really good, especially the dropdowns (in Moz 1.7 anyway ;-) However, why are we wasting so much fo the front page with that big, pointless picture?

This is the FINAL CALL for talks. The original deadline of 26th December has been extended to 6 January, to help all those folks who were concentrating on the PyCon deadline of 30th December. Recycled PyCon talks are acceptable. About the event =============== This will once again be held as a track within the ACCU conference. The conference site is here: http://www.accu.org/conference/ Python track information will be reachable from here once talk selection is complete: http://www.accu.org/conference/highlights.html#python The ACCU event is one of the foremost conferences for programmers, attracting the inventors and/or leading proponents of C, C++, Java, .NET and Python over the last few years. Past Python speakers have included Guido van Rossum, David Ascher, Alex Martelli, Armin Rigo, Paul Everitt, Marc-Andre Lemburg and many others, and the ACCU now treats Python as being fully on par with Java and C++. The event is priced midway between commercial and community events, at approx. ?100 per day, and is professionally managed. It is located in a historic hotel in the centre of Oxford and is ideal for anyone wanting to combine a holiday with a conference. We aim to hold a Python 'masterclass' the day before, and are working to arrange a PyPy sprint the week after. Conference Format ================= The Python conference will span THREE days, with ONE track. The first slot each morning is taken by the cross-conference keynote. This was the overwhelming preference of those we polled last year. (There will NOT be a separate Open Source track this year; the "rotating special subject" is Security. As a result, Python-related security talks would be of interest) You may propose 90 minute or 45 minute talks. The ACCU's general preference is for a small number of high quality, well prepared talks on subjects of broad interest to programmers, and the Python track will follow this. There will also be space for less formal lunchtime talks, evening BOFs and other events. Speakers' compensation is yet to be confirmed, but in the past those doing 90 minutes (or 2x45 minute talks) will be eligible for 4 days paid accomodation and admission to the 4 day event; 45 minute speakers will gain 1 day's admission. Where possible, we will attempt to allocate resources to ensure that the best speakers are able to attend irrespective of circumstances. Submission Procedure =================== Please send an email to pyuk2005_talks at reportlab.com not later than 6th January (this is the FINAL deadline!), with the following information: Your Name Short Biography Talk Title Talk Synopsis This is a simple mailbox; the committee will review and acknowledge submissions next week. If the talk is selected, you will be given a chance to refine the details through a web based system in January. Committee ========= A small committee has been formed to scrutinize talk proposals including those whol volunteered last year. This includes myself, Dr. Tim Couper and Dr. John Lee. General discussion about the event should be directed to the python-uk list (python-uk at python.org) ReportLab Europe Ltd. is managing parts of the event infrastructure and will be providing some staff time to provide a guaranteed point of contact.

I'd like to get a newspaper-like front page layout with title + image + intro text + link in small blocks... Cheers /JM
