I got a talk onto the Ohio LinuxFest schedule: "Introduction to Python and/or Solar System Demolition" http://www.ohiolinux.org/speakers.html#talk3_05 I note smugly that it's the only language-specific talk in the lineup. Hopefully there will be hundreds of eager new Pythonistas by the end. You can bet I'll plug centralOH at python.org heavily. (gaaaaaak, I'm nervous!) OLF will be a great opportunity to get together with each other, with Python users who don't know about us, and with people who don't use Python but should. What should we do with it? Brainstorm! Oh, and in case you weren't planning to, do sign up for Ohio LinuxFest. It's free as in freedom -and- beer. New job? Sister's wedding? Incarcerated? In labor? Poor excuses. Come anyway. http://www.ohiolinux.org/ See you there... -- - Catherine http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'd be glad to help out in any way needed. Just let me know what we can do to help.

All the best and I'm sure you'll be awesome. I'll try to make it out to OLF this year. -David On 9/3/07, Catherine Devlin wrote: > > Good news, everybody!

Last-minute reminders 1. One of us should definitely find the Open Space signup sheet and schedule a Python Open Space. (Just please don't make it during my 3:50-4:40 speaking slot.) So think about what you want to discuss there! And/or, if you want to bring a laptop to demo something. 2. I could use some backup singers for my talk! Or, backup answerers. That is... I just know some smart-aleck is going to ask some heavy computer-sciencey questions that will make my head hurt, something about late binding or the Global Interpreter Lock or whatnot. If you plan to attend and you're capable of helping with questions like that, please do... and if you can identify yourself to me before the talk and point me to where you'll be sitting, it would help even more. Then I can bump/set and you can spike. 3. I'm going to print some flyers (hawking both centralOH at python.org and PyCon) and stick them on the registration table. My flyer is very basic, though; if any of you want to play graphic artist and make something pretty, that would be great!

I could probably give a "show and tell" on web app development with Django if people were interested. > 2. I could use some backup singers for my talk! Or, backup answerers. I'm really tempted to volunteer to be a shill for your talk; however, you're up against serious competition with maddog's talk running at the same time. > That is...

If anyone gives ya grief about the GIL, just remind them that fork() is your friend. :-) See ya on Saturday -- William From catherine.devlin at gmail.com Thu Sep 27 19:35:50 2007 From: catherine.devlin at gmail.com (Catherine Devlin) Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2007 13:35:50 -0400 Subject: [CentralOH] Fwd: CodeMash Talk?

It was held for the first time last January. The bulk of it has been .NET so far, but there were several other excellent topics, including some excellent Python talks (including a TurboGears session with all that project's demigods present). The price is reasonable, the location is fun for your kids (Kalahari Resort), and don't try pretending you had anything better to do in January. Anyway, the organizers are very eager to increase their Python content. Consider submitting a talk! Their submission deadline is Oct. 15. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jim Holmes Date: Sep 24, 2007 4:55 PM Subject: CodeMash Talk? To: Catherine Devlin Hi Catherine! Are you interested at all in submitting a talk on Python for CodeMash? We could use some Python submissions from good folks like yourself. If you're interested and willing, hit the Submissions page at CM's homepage: www.CodeMash.org. Regards, Jim Holmes -- - Catherine http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.com/
