Refactoring is just a neat name, which developers have been doing for years. Its common among developers to rework on their code bases. Have a better implementation for the same function. Nothing to do with a Programming Language. Its a nice read and recommended read for person dealing in Object Oriented Programming on a daily basis with C++, Java. Python itself does not restrict you to know OOPS to solve problems in python. To swear by a book, methodology . Refactoring Book is not up there.

We'll this is just a day , not even a mini conf, something bigger than a bangpypers meet and small than a miniconf. We can have talks by volunteers but one of the main goal is people meeting face to face to discuss for PyCon India Itself. Interested folks will turn for this event, since its a volunteer event. The Python day can be achieved as we really do not have to worry about logistics, money management and sponsors, except for a moderator and a venue where we can have to do the actual discussion, which isnt a big issue, coz a person would need to book the meeting room for the whole day, with the company, instead of a few hours like a user group meet. if Pune is okey with you folks, I can arrange for it. But Bangalore would be ideal as many folks stay there. The travel is payed by the volunteer himself , this is just for the guy who are coming from outstation. It will be interesting to see how many people will turn up. Since most of the people I know who are interested in this are in bangalore itself. It would leave guys like Kenneth, Parthan, Kushal das, bbghose, Vivek Khurana and me. Most of the outstation folks in Bangpypers, or at least the guys who have participated in the discussions I guess have a place to crash in Bangalore. So if the date can be finalized, someone can get in touch with companies that can host the event for a day on a weekend. I'll try with my contacts in bangalore. I will book my tickets. @Noufal We do not really need CFP or something like that for a python day. Lets discuss the topics which can interest people. Intermediate to Expert level, this is just for python day. If newbies / students can come to the event , that would be great. we can show them the manuals, impromptu basic talks can be cooked up any time. The no. of people I hope would be around 20 - 30. But once the talks are over or we schedule time for the pycon india discussion itself, which might take some time. We can finalise on the roles of the individual for the actual conference. P.S :: Another Important topic is, if say a not for profit society needs to be formed, (we might face the issue when the money flows in with sponsors for the actual conference) we can get signatories at the python day itself ;-) anyway this will be totally another thread and is OT for this thread. regards -- Ramakrishna Reddy GPG Key ID:31FF0090 Fingerprint = 18D7 3FC1 784B B57F C08F 32B9 4496 B2A1 31FF 0090 ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
[BangPypers] Python Day India
Hello everybody. Since most of the folks here expressed an interest to hold a face to face meeting for planing pycon. I would like to propose a Python Day. Sometime in late June/July, It might give people from outside Bengaluru enough time to plan a travel for a weekend. So many people from around India can participate and meet fellow pythonists. But the main agenda is for all the interested stake holders of the Pycon India Conference to plan for PyCon India. This is going to be a small event , not as big as pycon india itself. We would need volunteers to give some talks. Since most of this is a volunteer run event, we would need someone to sponsor space, meeting room projector, stationeries Possible venues in Bengaluru:: * Yahoo * Thoughtworks * Directi * Pythonists in India gathering together. * All the Interested stake holders for organising a PyCon India * 4 - 5 talks on Python and related topics * Sprints, If someone proposes a topic * Hopefully a tutorial, if someone wants to do, or if students turn up for this event. * Probable Dates :: o 27th June 2009, Saturday o 28th June 2009, Sunday o 4th July, Saturday o 5th July Sunday P.S :: If you guys want a Python day in Pune, this can be done too . regards -- Ramakrishna Reddy GPG Key ID:31FF0090 Fingerprint = 18D7 3FC1 784B B57F C08F 32B9 4496 B2A1 31FF 0090 ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

[BangPypers] Python switches to Mercurial
Source :: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel/102706 From: Guido van Rossum python.org> Subject: And the winner is... Newsgroups: gmane.comp.python.devel Date: 2009-03-30 14:58:38 GMT (16 hours and 8 minutes ago) Dear Python developers, The decision is made! I've selected a DVCS to use for Python. We're switching to Mercurial (Hg). The implementation and schedule is still up in the air -- I am hoping that we can switch before the summer. It's hard to explain my reasons for choosing -- like most language decisions (especially the difficult ones) it's mostly a matter of gut feelings. One thing I know is that it's better to decide now than to spend another year discussing the pros and cons. All that could be said has been said, pretty much, and my mind is made up. To me, the advantages of using *some* DVCS are obvious. At PyCon, Brett already announced that Git was no longer being considered -- while it has obviously many fans, it also provokes strong antipathies. So it was between Hg and Bzr (both of which happen to be implemented in Python FWIW). Based on a completely unscientific poll (basically whatever feedback I received in my personal inbox or on Twitter), Hg has a strong following among Python developers and few detractors, while few (except Canonical employees) seem to like Bzr. In addition, most timing experiments point towards Hg being faster than Bzr for most operations, and Hg is (again, subjectively) easier to learn for SVN users than Bzr. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) -- Ramakrishna Reddy GPG Key ID:31FF0090 Fingerprint = 18D7 3FC1 784B B57F C08F 32B9 4496 B2A1 31FF 0090 ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

True. this is very important point to be discussed. Starting a society just for the purpose of PyCon India will be very premature. The other possibility is to handle funds via pre established organisations. NRC FOSS would be ideal, @lawgon is there a possibility of this. There are other societies like ILUGD, but it will be better if we can have a academic + research body like NRCFOSS handle out finances, rather than a ILUG or ASCI. [OT] Forming a Python Foundation India will be Ideal, but thats a whole another issue, but lets concentrate on PyCon first. May be we can launch the society in the conference itself, as all the stake holders will be present there. Its easier to get signatures also. -- Ramakrishna Reddy GPG Key ID:31FF0090 Fingerprint = 18D7 3FC1 784B B57F C08F 32B9 4496 B2A1 31FF 0090 ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

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.

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. > +1 for the low budget, sans swag concept but some clarity on what is > the scope of the event, since its being held here for the first time, > would be a lot nicer.

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 -- Ramakrishna Reddy GPG Key ID:31FF0090 Fingerprint = 18D7 3FC1 784B B57F C08F 32B9 4496 B2A1 31FF 0090 ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

Please feel free to share your ideas on the wiki. though we can thoroughly discuss the possibility of the conference dates, agenda, etc in this mailling list or have meetings on the #BangPypers on irc.freenode.org . I'll write a mail to David Goodger of PSF expressing the idea for an Indian edition of the conference. and for using the PyCon title for the Indian version of it. Hopefully we can pull of an event this year or early next year. regards -- Ramakrishna Reddy GPG Key ID:31FF0090 Fingerprint = 18D7 3FC1 784B B57F C08F 32B9 4496 B2A1 31FF 0090 ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

Sometime later this year. I personally would not prefer fsck.in. Not everone is a developer :P but with python you can become one in a few hours.

[BangPypers] Python and 5 Euro a.k.a How to make Money with Free Software
http://pythonide.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-make-money-with-free-software.html The Dutch Ministry of Finance organized an architecture competition for which a selected group of architectural offices (unstudio, nox, ...) and artists were invited, including myself. The goal of the competition was not to design a building, but the new 5 euro commemorative coin with the theme 'Netherlands and Architecture'. The winner will be rewarded with a nice price, but most of all with the honor: his design will be realized and will be a legal coin within the Netherlands. I approached the subject 'Netherlands and Architecture' from two points of view. On one hand I paid tribute to the rich Dutch architecture history and on the other hand to the contemporary quality of Dutch architecture. These form also the two sides of my coin. Traditionally the front of the coin needs to portray the queen, while the back side displays the value of the coin ..... -- Ramakrishna Reddy GPG Key ID:31FF0090 Fingerprint = 18D7 3FC1 784B B57F C08F 32B9 4496 B2A1 31FF 0090 ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
