OK. So I think people should not need to be registered for the conference to attend. Is that possible?
I imagine Python 101 is for professionals learning Python as an nth language. I don't intend to compete with that. I would like to call the presentation "Python as a First Language", and would like attendees to have a working copy of Idle on a laptop. The intended audience will be in town (locals or accompanying family) but is unlikely to pony up for the conference. If it is OK with you all and the hotel I will be happy to proceed on the basis that it is free of charge and doesn't require conference registration. Alternatively I could offer sort of a dress rehearsal, and edu-sig types can attend but it would probably be of little interest to other badge carrying conference attendees. This would be much shorter. My current plan is to be arriving Friday and leaving Sunday so I'd much prefer early on Saturday evening. Michael On 1/31/07, Napoleone, Doug <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Please feel free to give this presentation as an Open Space talk or a BoF: http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/OpenSpace We have the conference rooms the entire weekend, and this type of talk would be perfect for one of the evenings. We have 5 Open space rooms for use durring the day when other talks are given, and all the rooms will be available in the evenings. (space listed on the floorplan: http://us.pycon.org/uploads/TX2007/HotelFloorPlan07.png) We recommend that people giving talks along side the scheduled talks also keep them to the 30, 45, or 60min slot they will be running in parallel with. That way people will not be leaving early or arriving late you the open space talk due to wanting to see other presentations. This is only a recommendation. It is too late to get this on as an official presentation (especially as presentations are 30 or 45min long and the deadline for submission was October.) This sounds more like a tutorial, a Pre-Python101 tutorial if you will; (We have a 3 hour Python 101 tutorial already: http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/TutorialsAM#AM5). Please consider giving this talk as a tutorial next year, possably as a pre-cursor to the python 101 tutorial. I am working with Jeff Rush to try to get the schedule system to be more flexible and include evening BoF/Meeting and fun social activities. We have some things planned and some unofficial stuff we would like to see on there, your talk could be one of those. I will let you know if we can get that to happen. I am working on a call for proctors for the Python Lab (http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/PythonLab). Please consider helping out with that as well. It would be nice if people could attend your talk before going to the lab, unfortunatly it is running Friday evening, so I doubt that will happen. -Doug > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vern Ceder > Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 1:47 PM > To: Michael Tobis > Cc: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PyCON-Organizers] [Edu-sig] Interest in Newby > lecture at PyCon? > > I don't know if we would have the newbies around who would > benefit from the presentation, but I would be interested in > getting at least an overview of your presentation. > > Is there any interest in having that sort of presentation be > one of the main topics we discuss as a BOF?
