[BangPypers] Questions regarding Image cropping

[Arunabha Adhikari]

Dear friends,

I am a beginner in Python programming. I am not a computer professional I am
a physicist. I was trying to write a code in python for my own research
which involves a little image processing. All I need to do is to display an
image and then select a region of interest using my mouse and finally crop
out the selected region. I can do this in Matlab using the ginput()
function. I tried using PIL. But I find that after I issue the command
Image.show(), the image is displayed but then the program halts there unless
I exit from the image window. Is there any way to implement what I was
planning. Do I need to download any other module? Please advise.

Arunabha Adhikari

I think apart from the IRC meeting, we should also have a proper face
to face thing. It's a little premature perhaps given how recent the
last BangPypers meeting was but I think it'd be useful. We can Skype
in the people who are from outside the city.

we have the fossconf software written in django - it has all the features 
needed for a conference including rating of papers, hall allotment, scheduling 
etc etc. The only thing to be added is payment receipt module and of course, 
to upgrade to django 1.x. The team that built it is absconding, but anyone who 
wishes to work on it (some hard coded stuff needs to be removed) may contact 
me. The code is here:

We required one web app like the one used for PyCon.  Any idea whether
we can use
the same software and customize it ?  Or is there any other free
software for co-ordinating
 an entire conference ?

Re: [BangPypers] IDEs Presentation (was Re: Do we have any NetBeans IDE for Python users here?)

[Vishal]

We've had the IDE discussions before..many times on many mailing lists.
Would love to hear from Amit about NetBeans Python support.

I personally mostly work on Windows...so PyScripter
 is the choice for me (its a complete
IDE only 6MBs heavy). On linux, it has to be Emacs :))

Yes , we need to finalise the dates. I guess we'll take it for a
discussion on the IRC . irc.freenode.org. #BangPypers

Heh. Its just a two day old wiki draft. give it some time to mature.
pythonists are very energetic. wait and watch its gonna be awesome.

Usually the Original Pycon is given to user groups , who bid for it.
we'll BangPypers isnt still a society. So we dont hold an authority
.But we are intent to have a 3 day event. atleast I'm a +1 for a 3 day
event. As long as people  hold the event to spread python, I'm not
complaining.

Thats an interesting point.  learn how to program ;-) It pays to be a
python programmer. We need to discuss it over IRC.  Ofcourse its open
to everybody. Unless we plan to hire bouncers to kick people out after
taking their entry fee. another discussion , Entry Fee , is also a
topic for discussion.

Lets Keep it volunteer run, low budget and Honest. So everybody can
participate. Lets make it happen folks.

Noufel,  thanks for the initiative taken. But I guess the further
communication to PSF done with a prior consent with the BangPypers
members. I hope we dont rush things up and all the stakeholders in
this conference. Let us prioritise what should be done or can be
avioded  . Before we start communicating aggressively. We need to
collectively finilaze on many tasks and sub tasks. We can meet up on
the #Bangpypers on say Tuesday 4:30 PM IST.

 Eg.
o Programme Committee needs to be formed
o Call for Papers. ( how do we peer review the talks, tutorials ,
unlike Fsck.in, lets have a open review system of the talks)
o Date ( Call for Vote)
o Venue
o Communication to communities

Looks Fine,

Noufel, if you haven't already communicated, I think it will be good if you
do write into PSF and complete all formalities.

Let's get the modalities done, and announce at least a tentative date for
the first meeting to form a committee to manage the event, and take things
forward.

Greetings people,
   I have pasted below the mail I received from David G. when I asked
him about the conference. Do take a look. I didn't know that he was

Hi,

I'm sure that you'll be welcome to use the PyCon name for a community
conference in India. There are several other national or regional
PyCons out there, and we encourage their proliferation. The only thing
we want to avoid is competing events in the same region, so ask that
you cooperate with all interested groups and operate in an open and
inclusive manner.

Please write to p...@python.org for official permission. Be sure to
describe the type of conference -- the term "PyCon" is associated with
a volunteer-run community conference. We can also offer subdomain
registration; in.pycon.org could point to your server, or to a site on
the server we're using for the US PyCon.

Good luck!

Suggestions for future events (maybe 2010/11(?)) :

+ Alternatively PyCon-India could be held multiple times in a year, in
each city which finds enough volunteers (read critical mass) to get
such an event going.
+ Heard a Colombian researcher (at the national coalition meet last
week) mention that they hold a day long event for Libre software
across 20 cities all over South America. They do this simultaneously
as a Libre s/w event.  Am not sure if a Python-only event will scale
that well across cities.

Anyway, ideas dont cost (not as much as implementing them :))

Yup, ground events/meets/(un)confs is definitely where the action and
(daresay) fun is :) My point was wrt the sponsors POV, who may (or
not) come on board in future, especially if promised the stars and
left undelivered. Not to suggest this will happen but a smaller set of
expectations is easier to achieve.  Maybe a stock-taking "after" the
event, if need be ??

true, this also depends on how the tracks/sessions are planned,
speakers, etc... which a structured conf has more control over, unlike
say an unconference (the analogy is probably not correct since the
focus is different for each event).
