    ...released half of the 200 rooms. This has decreased our deposit and final amount. I have also succeed in extending the deadline for the 2013 deposit until we close the books on 2012. 2013 Hyatt Regency contract was adjusted. I have released all Sprint rooms on Thursday March 21st since we will have it at the CC as we did in 2012 since not many people are left and it makes it easier to pack up and ship things out. We have released the ballroom for the beginning of the show since AV does not need m...

ERP5 is in production in the apparel industry and government agencies with multi-gigabyte databases that track millions of warehouse stock movements.

  • Python Software Foundation: Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting, October 11, 2005 (Draft)

    ...release announcements wouldn't hurt. Perhaps even a link in the installer, if it's not too big a deal. S. Deibel thought these good ideas, and asked if D. Goodger was volunteering for the new PSC. D. Goodger agreed, and also agreed to pursue the ideas above. S. Deibel decided not to dissolve the PSC, but to change its membership to include S. Holden, N. Norwitz, and D. Goodger, with himself as chair. 5   Ubuntu Development Meeting D. Goodger reported that the Ubuntu GNU/Linux ...

    ...release vendors to Marketwire, so I'm going to keep an eye out for how the press releases are being picked up through that service. If it turns out that we get a good value out of the service, I may propose that we do some of our bigger PSF announcements as press releases. 11.5   Ongoing Projects None 11.6   Tabled Activities None 12   Trademarks Committee Report for 2012-12-18 12.1   Issues / Blockages Need to locate some...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...releases, so that programmers will first see deprecation warnings, and only later be impacted by the change. We ran into this only once when Python 2.0 began to disallow multiple arguments to the sequence append method. This problem required changing exactly three easily found calls in our code base of over 77K lines of Python. 2) Different versions of Python can produce incompatible compiled byte code and requires that C/C++ extension modules are compiled against a specific version of Python. F...

  • Python Software Foundation: Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting, January 10, 2006

    ...released from the contract. This is only worth doing if it's free. If we have to pay the $70000 penalty, it's better to give the conference and take the smaller 20K loss. Reduce the contract numbers to ~200-250, so that the total costs are cheaper and we actually meet our numbers. Keep the numbers the same, and try to do better on publicity to reduce the loss. I made various mistakes -- most notably a delay in getting the schedule posted -- but it's not clear if that delay is responsible for ...

  • Metaclasses in Python 1.5

    ...releases (and still in 1.5), there is something called the ``Don Beaudry hook'', after its inventor and champion. This allows C extensions to provide alternate class behavior, thereby allowing the Python class syntax to be used to define other class-like entities. Don Beaudry has used this in his infamous MESS package; Jim Fulton has used it in his Extension Classes package. (It has also been referred to as the ``Don Beaudry hack,'' but that's a misnomer. There's nothing hackish about...

  • 2007 PSF Members' Meeting Minutes

    ...release of 2.5.1 we will make the transition. 4.3   Conference Committee Andrew Kuchling summarized PyCon 2006 and 2007: about 410 attendees in 2006, about 590 in 2007. We had a $19,000 profit from PyCon in 2006, and expect a profit for 2007 as well. There was a $6000 travel grant (financial aid) supplementary budget from the PSF in 2006, $7000 in 2007 but part of the PyCon budget. We got to a late start with sponsors for 2007, but many sponsors contacted us, and we have had ...

  • PSF Trademark Usage Policy

    ...released version of the document was 1.2.2. Version 1.3 was approved by the PSF board January 8, 2007. It clarifies how the policy relates to nominative use rules, and adjusts the derived logo examples to avoid unnecessary restrictions on commercial use of certain types of derived logos. Helping Out As a member of the Python community, please keep an eye out for questionable uses of the Python logo and "Python" word mark. You can report potential misuse to The PSF Trademarks Commit...

  • What's new in Python 2.3

    ...release without strong cryptography. The old bsddb module code is still available as the bsddb185 module, but this is not built by default. Should you still be using a system which only has Berkeley DB 1.85 installed (often indicated by the presence of /usr/include/db.h but not /usr/lib/libdb.a file), the following changes should keep you running. Add this line: bsddb185 bsddbmodule.c to Modules/Setup. In most cases you should not require any -I, -L or -l flags. It seems on those systems wh...

    ...released the PyTexas sponsor payment collection webpages to production, integrated into the PyTexas wiki. Next task: HAM signup webpages. My focus is on PSF Sponsor invoicing, Federal taxes, the Associate Member program, AR and AP reduction. It was necessary to accomplish the CiviContribute milestone first, because signing up Associate members online via CiviMember requires the ability to collect membership fees online. The capability of repetiti...

  • Built-in Package Support in Python 1.5

    ...released. Package authors may also decide not to support it, if they don't see a use for importing * from their package. For example, the file Sounds/Effects/__init__.py could contain the following code: __all__ = ["echo", "surround", "reverse"] This would mean that from Sound.Effects import * would import the three named submodules of the Sound package. If __all__ is not defined, the statement from Sound.Effects import * does not import all submodules from the package Sound...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...releases by some mysterious benefactor inside the organization using a random process I've given up trying to understand. One of them was Programming Python . I found this somewhat interesting, as I collect computer languages. I know over two dozen general-purpose languages, write compilers and interpreters for fun, and have designed any number of special-purpose languages and markup formalisms myself. My most recently completed project, as I write this, is a special-purpose language called SNG ...

Holden: "We had a discussion on the mailing list of sponsor membership levels, but nothing was concluded. There seem to be two camps, one a "compute fees according to organization size", the other "have a flat fee and ask for additional contributions". I am personally in favor of a scale, or at least having di...
