I could also talk about Nodebox and Shoebot, which are some pretty great

introduce those tools, show some real-world examples, as well as a

See www.nodebox.net and www.shoebot.net
(I'm one of the Shoebot devs, btw. I also taught coding to college
design students who never touched programming using those tools, with a
decent measure of success.)


That would also be great.  You will take a 20 mins slot?

Hi,
   Montréal-Python, our local user group, would love to take the
opportunity that we will have many expect graphics hackers in town to
organize a meeting on the theme of graphics with Python on Monday May
9th, just before the conference.

Our meetings usually attract between 50 and 70 persons and it's a
great opportunity to share deep technical details about you favorite
graphic project with a crowd of passionated pythonistas.

Our plan is to have a short meeting between 6h30PM and 8PM either at a
local university or at a local bar and to have between 4 and 6
lightning talks then to have either 3 presentations of 20 mins or one
longer one of 60 mins.  After the presentation, we'll enjoy a few free
beer at Benelux, our favorite brew pub, thanks to our sponsors and to
the fact that this brew pub really loves us.

Anyone going to LGM 2011 who would like to present something?
