Hi John/All, There is general hack day organised by Andrea (you may know her from alt.net) on 20th November at UCD. Anyone interested in this? I can get more information about this.
Also on that weekend is the Python bug weekend, for those interested/curious in fixing python bugs, and all information can be found about this at http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-October/104871.html Even newbies are welcome: "Development is public and lurkers are welcome." :-) Cheers, /// Vicky ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ http://irishbornchinese.com ~~ ~~ http://www.python.ie ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 9:43 AM, Vicky Twomey-Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi John, > > This list is pretty quiet most of the time, so don't be discouraged.
