A Date With Tim Peters...

[Guido van Rossum]

Did you ever wonder what Tim Peters looks like?  Have you ever wanted
proof that he's not a runaway AI project or a secret alias for the
Benevolent Dictator?

Now's your chance.  Come to the Python Conference in Washington DC and
meet Tim, Guido and the rest of the Python crowd for four days of
intense Pythoneering.  Some program highlights:

- 8 tutorials on topics ranging from JPython to Fnorb;
- a keynote by Open Source evangelist Eric Raymond;
- another by Randy Pausch, father of the Alice Virtual Reality project;
- a separate track for Zope developers and users;
- live demonstrations of important Python applications;
- refereed papers, and short talks on current topics;
- a developers' day where the feature set of Python 2.0 is worked out.

Come and join us at the Key Bridge Marriott in Rosslyn (across the
bridge from Georgetown), January 24-27 in 2000.  Make the Python
conference the first conference you attend in the new millennium!

The early bird registration deadline is January 5.  Don't wait till
the last moment, register before Christmas!  More info:

Conference motto (due to Bruce Eckel): "Life's better without braces."
