Subject: [Pycon-announce] Booksigning Party at PyCon This Year!
Message-ID: <43E5D09B.6070904@taupro.com>

Because many authors of books related to Python will be in attendance at 
PyCon, we would like to organize a book signing activity.  It seems logical 
to hold it Saturday night at the party at the Nerdbooks.com bookstore. 
Bring your own books or buy new ones in the store!

And if you're an author in attendance who would like to promote your book, 
drop an email to "jeff at taupro.com" or come forward when we call the book 
signing to order in the store.

So that the bookstore can have copies on-hand, we'd like to collect a list 
of titles you'd consider having signed.  Please edit the following wiki page 
and add your choices.  Authors, you can add your books too.

DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN BOOKS

For inventory security reasons, please do NOT bring your own books to the 
bookstore to be signed.  Mixing attendee books with store books in a party 
atmosphere would be difficult to manage and we need to be considerate of the 
store.  I mispoke in the original announcement.

A new application is available to let PyCon attendees display their
locations and interests using Google Maps.  

	http://us.pycon.org/apps/maps/

You can add yourself, or add your local user group to help others find
you.  You can also add tags describing your interests (e.g. 'zope',
'python', 'beer').

Don't forget Pavel Lishin, I put half the blame on him!

CORRECTION: "Beyond Scripting" was cancelled in error; it will be held
as scheduled.  My apologies to the presenters; this was my mistake.

The correct talk that has been cancelled is "Mission-Critical Python
and the Brave New Web", which was to be held at 1:20PM in Ballroom A-E
on Sunday.

The cancelled "Introduction to CMF Application Development" talk will
be replaced by a repeat of "Building Pluggable Software with Eggs", by
Ian Bicking of Imaginary Landscape.

The "Eggs" talk was held in Preston Trail and was standing-room only;
the cancellation of the CMF talk gives us a chance to repeat it in a
larger space.

Subject: [Pycon-announce] Python training courses
Message-ID: <78b3a9580602260743gb4ecc01l75abfff4aa8ead33@mail.gmail.com>

please forgive the unsolicited commercial solicitation, but folks have
approached me about public Python training courses after my tutorial 
Thursday, so i thought i would just send out an announcement in case
you had questions while we're still here so you could stop me in the
halls.  (i've also printed out a few flyers along with my business
card on the general handout table near the registration desk.)

anyway, i'll be giving four more Python training sessions (held near
the San Francisco international airport) for the remainder of this
year:

(Intensive) Introduction to Python
March 29-31, 2006
August 16-18, 2006

Advanced Python Programming
May 17-19, 2006
November 8-10, 2006

for more info and details, go to http://cyberwebconsulting.com and
click the Python training link, or even better, grab me while i'm
still here (taking off early afternoon tho).  :-)  i will also post a
more general announcement to comp.lang.python when i get back home
this coming week.

cheers,
-wesley
