[EuroPython] Volunteer needed for collecting EuroPython talk outlines and slides
Hello everyone, We need some more volunteers to help with EuroPython. Now in particular we want someone who can collect the talks together. Speakers often provide materials that are useful for conference delegates: * An outline or paper/side * Example code * Software packages We need someone to volunteer to be the editor of these materials, i.e. to collect them altogether into a nice organised directory structure which can be put onto the conference CD and on the website; as well as to liaise with speakers to get the materials out of them. If you can do this for us, please reply to me or to the europython-impr...@python.org mailing list. Thankyou for reading.

To: europython-improve Hi, I've just noticed that there are now 5 people who would like to help with the audio recording. This is great! It means that we can pretty much have a room each to be responsible for. For days with 6 tracks, I'll happily look after two. Don't worry this doesn't mean you have to stay in the room all day. It just means that you have to pop your head in during breaks to get the recording and check everything is still ok.

I do this journey often, and I personally take the National Express because it is cheaper than the Train. However it does take a long time. It is best to book in advance via the website http://www.nationalexpress.com You need to enter into the boxes: Stansted Airport Birmingham This is a large coach that goes from the Airport.

Train certainly. It will also be far quicker. Britain has two types of taxi, 'private hire' which you have to ring before and arrange the price on the phone, this will be about £25. The other type of taxi is a hackney carriage (black cab) which has a meter, which you jump into, this will cost a lot. > > Mit freundlichen Grüßen > Jan Ulrich Hasecke > > -- > http://hasecke.com * Business Communication > Advertising * Public Relations * Content Management * Plone Training > > Support CAcert.org: Free Digital Certificates for Everyone! > http://www.cacert.org! > > > > > > > > > > ___ > EuroPython mailing list > EuroPython@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython > > ___ EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython

Well it is the same for everyone, when we open registration, we don't know what tutorials we be submitted, so it is like running an airline without knowing what planes we got or what countries have airports.

Re: [EuroPython] Test room for speakers?
2009/6/27 Bruce Eckel : > Will there be a room where I can make sure my setup works with a projector, > just to double check and do a dry run? Thanks. What we normally do is get each speaker to test their machine with the exact projector they are going to use in a break or before/after the conference day in the actual room. Is that of help?

[EuroPython] Fwd: [python-uk] PyCon UK 2009 UnConference
Hi, Sorry to spam you if you are not interested, but some of you on this list will be people in the UK or nearby that won't be on last year's PyConUK list. Booking for the below needs to be done ASAP at: http://pyconuk.org/booking.html -- Forwarded message -- From: John Pinner Date: 2009/7/26 Subject: [python-uk] PyCon UK 2009 UnConference To: UK Python Users , Mailing list for the PyCon UK conference Hello Everybody, Last year we said that there would be no PyCon UK in 2009, because we were going to run EuroPython 2009 instead. However, talking to people it seems that there's room for a smaller more informal event so we're pleased to announce that PyCon UK 2009 lives, in the shape of a one day UnConference to be held on 5th September. More details can be seen on the PyCon UK website, http://pyconuk.org. As it's an unconference, all that the committee is doing is arranging the venue, facilities and insurance. The rest is up to you, and to help you there is a wiki at http://wiki.pyconuk.org. Hoping to see you all in September!

BTW, "Muddle, inventing a build sys" and "KBUS:A simple messaging system" were both accepted.

Re: [EuroPython] Tutorial participants
Hello! On 7 July 2010 09:34, Geoff Bache wrote: > Last year I got sent a list of participants for my tutorial > beforehand. Will this be sent out this year? It would be useful to > know how many people to expect. Yes. Last year we had a tutorial booking system, where people registered for their first choice of tutorials, so we could shift the rooms around so the rooms did not overfilled. This year we have more space so it is less of a problem but I am still planning on allowing people to state their preference. > Also, I've added a bunch of instructions to the wiki but I don't know > if people will find them. Will they be mailed and pointed at them? Good idea, we can perhaps make a wiki category and email all the tutorial attendees that.

It's so much easier. +1 on the national express coach, I take it all the time. However, I do have the ability to sleep the whole journey, and/or read/use computer the whole way without getting travel sick. One tip is to stack up on water and cold food at the airport (hot food is not allowed on the bus). You book the bus online and print yourself the ticket: http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/airport/Airport-Foreign-Landing-Page-Coach-English.aspx If you miss the coach you are booked on, you can normally just get the next one. (You can sometimes also blag your way onto an earlier one too if your plan lands early). Might be worth listening to this song before you start! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3NVPOedkEk Otherwise the train will work by just turning up, although very expensive in comparison. Sometimes savings can be made by booking in advance. ___ EuroPython 2010 - Birmingham, 17-24 July 2010 - http://www.europython2010.eu EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython

Yes of course. If you need a hotel room you need to book directly with the hotel website or phone line.
