    ...job rather than a committee thing. We received 44 tutorial proposals. We (= Greg Lindstrom, Van Lindberg, me) are still deciding which to accept, and are considering adding an evening session on tutorial day. Sponsorship is going well. Current confirmed amount: $43K (signed); current probable amount: $54K (signed & committed to sign). And several big names haven't decided yet. We're getting interest in sprint sponsorship as well (catering, maybe paying for sprint leaders to give tutorials...

    ...job than initially expected i.e. Python turned out to be a true problem solver. At present most of the original Python code is still untouched or replaced by new Python code. The Python Successes Speed of development For us, development in Python has been proven to be much more efficient. Our developers generally finish Python based projects much quicker than comparable projects in other languages like C, C++, C# or Java. Apart from the latter, Python turned out to be easy to learn for our de...

    ...job will likely be discarding the spam messages that get sent to your list, but which Mailman rightfully puts a hold on. You should decide what your topic is going to be and what it's scope is. Try to keep it focused, and make sure you verify that no other SIG covers your topic. You need to write two things. First, you should write a short informational blurb about your SIG; just something that can be put in a short list of SIGs, e.g. "Development of a C++ Binding." You'll also need...

    ...requirements were: We needed to be able to perform interesting computation on the schema to create the code we needed. Cog would have to provide a powerful language to write the code generators in. An existing language would make it easier for developers to begin using Cog. I wanted developers to be able to change the schema, and then run the tool without having to understand the complexities of the code generation. Cog would have to make it simple to combine the generated chunks of code with...

    ...requirements, unpredictable customers, and limited developer resources. The most important concern to me in choosing the development tools was my productivity. Since this was "after-hours" work, my time and attention would be stretched thin, and I wanted to be able to focus on the user experience, not build environments, memory management, and the like. I looked for existing software, and found lots of interesting examples at pygame (www.pygame.org). Pygame provided all the function...

    ...job nicely for the few hundred servers that was the beginning of Rackspace's customer base. As Rackspace grew, that small PHP system became the center of business at Rackspace. Every time an opportunity to automate a process presented itself, it was rolled into that system. After a couple of years, the result was a big, un-maintainable mess of thousands of PHP pages and modules that had been written and maintained primarily by one person. The limits of PHP (then version 3) had been stretched thi...

Kuchling replied that we can certainly create a test server, but Tim hasn't asked him to do anything in particular. D.

    ...job is really 'Advocate', not coordinator." T. Peters: "To 'coordinate', he'd have to find a way to get others to volunteer too." D. Goodger: "It's hard to coordinate a lack of volunteers." T. Peters: "I especially like that he helped get user groups formed. I like 'grass roots'." Since there was neither consensus nor a concrete proposal, the Board could not vote. The issue was referred back to Stephan Deibel for email discussion. 7   Histor...

    ...Job Board for the last several years. The fact that the Job Board exists, and is available free of charge to anyone looking to hire people with Python skills, is possibly more central to Python's rise in popularity than we appreciate. PyCon chairman David Goodger paid tribute to the Job Board as helping him out of unemployment in his opening remarks this year, and I know there are dozens if not hundreds of others who should be similarly grateful to Peter and Martin.

Kaiser agreed, noting that when he became Treasurer it was fairly sudden. GNUCash experience is very important. Really need someone who is comfortable with double entry accounting. S. Deibel asked, should assistants also get some pay? M. von Löwis asked, did K. Kaiser receive "training" when he b...
