Who wants to do Pycon wrap-up talks Thursday?

[Tony Cappellini-2]

At the Baypiggies meetings which follow Pycon, we have generally done quick talks about interesting presentations from Pycon.

This year will be no exception.

If you would like to talk about your favorite (or least-favorite) Pycon tutorial/presentation/sprint/activity 

at the Baypiggies meeting Thursday March 22, please respond to this email.

The talks should be brief (5-15 minutes), no slides necessary.

Thanks

Tony,

 I can summarize some of the PyCon talks this Thursday. Here's a few that I feel comfortable enough to speak about:

• "Stop Writing Classes" https://us.pycon.org/2012/schedule/presentation/352/
• "Interfaces and Python" https://us.pycon.org/2012/schedule/presentation/126/
• "Social Network Analysis with Python (tutorial) https://us.pycon.org/2012/schedule/presentation/15/

Depending on how much detail you want, that could be 10 - 20 minutes total. I could also talk a little bit about what I learned about PyPy, although others may be better qualified to speak to that (I only went to the JIT talk and David Beazley's keynote).

It might also be fun to talk about which talks we found most insightful or entertaining. For example, I really enjoyed David Beazley's keynote and also the talk "Militarizing Your Backyard with Python: Computer Vision and the Squirrel Hordes".

Thanks,

Jeff

I'm only 60% sure that I'll make it but I could do a 5mins talk on
"PyCon – behind the scene". I'll confirm by Wednesday at noon.

if there's any time after everyone else's review, i took some notes from the keynotes (guido's, paul graham's) as well as raymond hettinger's advanced python tutorials, senthil's talk about updates to the stdlib, the talk on ML & Python, and the talk on Python on Windows.

cheers,

I could probably give a two to five minute
summary of the Friday morning noobs, music,
and inside the interpreter talks (track 3).

I could do a quick summary of "What you need to know about
datetimes", "Pragmatic Unicode, or, How do I stop the pain?",
and my own talk on GIMP-python.

Thanks to everyone who replied to give a Pycon 2012 Wrap up talk.


Jeff Fischer - Stop Writing Classes, Interfaces & Python, Social Network Analyses

Yanick Gingras - Pycon- Behind The Scense

Wesley Chun - Guido's keynote, Paul Graham's keynote, Ray Hettinger's Advanced Python tutorial

Jim Stockford - Music, inside the interpreter

Simeon Franklin - Pandas

Akkana Peck - Datetimes, Unicode, GIMP-Python


We may want to limit each person's time to 10 minutes, so that everyone gets a chance to talk.
When all have finished their first topic, start over with the first presenter- with the next topic....

Tony,

 What is your thinking regarding slides for tonight? Given the frequent speaker switches, changing laptops could take up much of the time. Do you want us to forgo slides tonight? Or should be print them on a USB stick and share a computer?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it tonight, but if I do, I have notes for almost every talk I attended.  I usually try to blog them at (jjinux.blogspot.com), but I haven't done it quite yet.

It was my first time at Bay Piggies and I loved it.

I had to leave before the end of Wesley's talk to catch a train but I
really enjoyed the evening and I'm sorry that I could not stay to chat
further after the presentation.  Next time, hopefully.
