[EuroPython] Talk submission problem

2007-05-18 Thread Duncan Grisby
Hi,

I am trying to submit a talk proposal for EuroPython. I signed up for an
account on the CERN thing, and it sent me a confirmation email, and I
successfully activated the account and chose a password. Unfortunately,
I can't login. I enter my email address and password, and it fails
saying "Wrong login or password". I tried filling in the password
reminder and it hasn't emailed me anything either.

What should I do?

Serves me right for waiting until the last day, I suppose...

Cheers,

Duncan.

It didn't give me an opportunity to choose a user name.

Thanks for helping,

Duncan.

Well, I'd rather go with Flash and/or Quicktime just because it's the 
easiest to setup plus you have directly e.g. a community at ustream.tv 
which would be exposed to something different and (hopefully) 
interesting to them.

Quicktime would be my other choice because unfortunately Second Life 
only supports Quicktime streaming at the moment and it would be a nice 
marketing thing to have it streaming there where people can even meet in 
front of the screen and discuss about what they just see.
(we even shortly had some sort of backchannel from the Second Life world 
into the Plone conference back in September where Martijn Faassen was 
in-world and asking (more of a fun question though) to the speakers.

So for me it actually would be easiest to stream via flash to ustream as 
this would only involve a network connection (and eventually a network 
cable as it is more reliable than Wifi). ustream.tv can also record btw 
and you can download the videos (as flash videos) afterwards so there is 
maybe even a way of converting it to other formats.

As for Quicktime I probably would need somebody to provide a server with 
good network connection who is willing to install Darwin Streaming 
Server on it. This might be the bigger problem I assume so I guess I'd 
go with ustream.tv.

I will of course also record some of the stuff and this can be converted 
to whatever format afterwards (but also here I usually go with quicktime 
usually for comlounge.tv as it's supported by the most players out there 
and esp. on the iPod).
I am just not sure how much work this converting might involve and if I 
will have time for that but I can definitely provide the material so any 
body could actually step in.

Ok, as I will bring my camera anyway we can also see then what is 
possible and what is not. Everything should be setup fairly quickly.

cheers,

Christian

Maybe your user name is the first part of your e-mail address. I don't
remember how it worked when I registered last year.

You may have to e-mail the support address at the bottom of the login
page if you haven't received an e-mail message with your details.

Did you choose a user name that's different to your e-mail address? When I
login, I use my user name and not my e-mail address.

[EuroPython] Talk submission

2007-05-18 Thread Stefano Masini
Hello,

I know I'm terribly late, but I would like to submit a talk, and
Indico won't send me a reminder email for my account. I'll try again
early tomorrow morning... but just in case, here it is the abstract:

A practical example of Test Driven Development for a GUI using wxPython

I will show a step by step example of building a small user interface
using wxPython.
The example will only be marginally related to wxPython itself and,
even though previous
background won't be necessary, it'll be explained only as much as
necessary to understand
the rest of the talk. The goal is to show the practice of Test Driven
Development. The
code will follow the Model View Controller pattern and testing will be
making use of
mock objects, in order to simulate the View.

Thanks!

I don't want to say anything I'm not "authorised" to say, but I think it quite 
likely that we'll extend the period for submitting talks, meaning that 
everyone who tried to submit talks at the last minute but then experienced 
account difficulties, or anyone who didn't have time during the week to 
finish off their proposal can still submit a talk.

Well you've got my attention, anyway. ;-)

But unless someone in the talks department decides otherwise, the deadline is 
likely to be pushed back a few days. We'll bring you some news on this topic 
tomorrow.
