I'm pleased to announce that on the 17th of November, starting at 19:00 and being held in Morgan Stanley at Cabot Square, is the first ever London Web Frameworks evening! We were incredibly lucky with the line up and we're proud to present: Matt Trout - Catalyst Catalyst core developer and author of DBIx::Class. Simon Willison - Django Javascript guru, Sitepoint author, Pythonista and Yahoo! Matt Biddulph - Rails The man behind the BBC's programme catalogue. Nuff Said. ********************************************************************** You must sign up (it's free!) to attend: http://london.pm.org/signup/ ********************************************************************** Each speaker will give an overview/introduction and some of what makes each framework great. The talks will begin at 19:00 on the 17th of November and will finish about 21:00. We'll then be heading to a local pub for food, drink and conversation. The venue for the meeting is the Shakespeare training room on the 12th floor of the Morgan Stanley building in Cabot Square. Registration is required if you plan to attend. Thanks go to Ben Evans for getting us the venue and the speakers for presenting with no pay, no travel expenses and no safety net...

Maybe two actually, since John Pinner has been talking about an autumn one at the "Conservatoire" in Birmingham. (I must apologize for having been in workaholic-land and am just emerging - it was so bad I failed to notice the Morgan Stanley thing last week which I'd love to have attended. I am way behind on organising the event this year). The usual ACCU thing is on Wednesday 19 April to Saturday 22 April 2006. Guido is flying over to be a keynote for the whole conference. There will be a two-day Python only track, and a day of "dynamic languages" with talks on Ruby and Javascript. Things are a bit different this year; it's 'winding down' as they want to have "python talks on the programme" rather than a "Python conference" from 2007, which IMHO makes sense as Python is now 'mature' and part of the landscape. Also, we all learned that the Python world wants a cheaper, bigger event which ACCU cannot offer. At present I have talk submissions from - Michael Hudson on PyPy - Michael Hudson again on Exception Handling - me on metadata frameworks (common themese across Django/Sqlobject/ various graphics frameworks/validation issues) - Andrew Thompson on Python in Finance - Steve Holden (subject to be decided) Also John Pinner is giving a "convert to Python" tutorial on the tutorials day which should be a big draw. We have 6 90-min slots and the committee would prefer a small number of UK speakers, as they are aying to bring Guido on.. I need to get my skates on and firm it up fast. I'd really love to have talks on - Django, Turbogears or a comparison. - Eggs and setuptools If anyone can do these or has another idea, I suggest to post this list or email me really quickly. I emailed Simon Willison but haven't heard back.

I only just talked him out of doing live code in his half hour slot last week. He's mad keen. He is the most enthusiastic man on the planet.
