Re: [PSF-Community] Back Story on the Guido, Larry Wall, Anders Hejlsberg, and James Gosling benefit event for CSforALL

2019-03-21 Thread Don Sheu 
The finances of the event, it's expensive. I have put out pitches for
sponsoring the livestream. If nobody buys, I'm planning on visiting Python
groups around the world to put on viewing parties before selling the video
on a shareware license. Beneficiary of the proceeds is CSforALL and they
work on tech inclusion. Ruthe Farmer the event chair was an Obama advisor
on tech inclusion. She continues this work as Chief Evangelist for
CSforALL.

For those who can make the trip, here's a 50% discount code
bdfl-retirement. It's good till until 4:59pm PDT, 22nd March or 2019-03-22
23:59:59 UTC,
https://ti.to/puppy/CSforALLtechinclusion/discount/bdfl-retirement

Looking at Expedia, flights from SFO to SEA, low as $232. I found flights
from Chicago at $357.

Beliebers would make the trip for a Justin Bieber show. We have here some
of the stellar folks of software who have given a lot to the world. Guido
described the event as historic because he's never been a part of a
discussion like this before. He's made suggestions to the programming to
make sure we have a substantial conversation. Support our craftspeople,
make them feel appreciated. And the proceeds benefit literally, it's for
the kids.

Let us know whether and when there will be a video of the events. Such
events can be fun to watch / listen to. I've blogged about one or two
on similar lines, here is the link for one, that I remember:

  Video: C++, Rust, D and Go: Panel at LangNext '14

  
https://jugad2.blogspot.com/2016/08/video-c-rust-d-and-go-panel-at-langnext.html

Excerpt from the post:

[ The languages discussed are: C++, D, Go and Rust, by a panel at LangNext '14.

The panel consisted of key team members from the teams working on
those languages:

- Bjarne Stroustrup for C++
- Andrei Alexandrescu for D
- Rob Pike for Go
- Niko Matsakis for Rust

]

There is an interesting / amusing vignette involving Stroustrup and
others on the subject of C++ compilation times, near the end of the
video, IIRC.

Well done, Don and team! Much as I'd love to be there, I'll have to rely on
video.

Which I will be more than sure not to miss!

Kind regards,

[PSF-Community] Back Story on the Guido, Larry Wall, Anders Hejlsberg, and James Gosling benefit event for CSforALL

2019-03-20 Thread Don Sheu 
Just posted this to events. Thought it'd be fun to share with the
community.

Type of Event: Charitable event benefitting CSforALL. Ruthe Farmer event
chair continues the tech inclusion work she started as a senior policy
advisor for tech inclusion for Obama as Chief Evangelist of CSforALL.

This event started in a conversation between Larry Hastings and PuPPy and
PyCascades founder Don Sheu. At PuPPy's fourth anniversary event, for
Guido's BDFL retirement, Don proposed to Larry that PuPPy leads a
crowdfunding campaign to send Guido and his family on a Cunard cruise that
visits over 50 ports of call, twice. Larry responded, Guido would hate
that. He hates traveling. Guido likes discussing the intricacies of
computing with others who care as much as he does.

Don replied, he can do that. The result is that on April 2nd, James
Gosling, Anders Hejlsberg, Larry Wall, and Guido will delve deep into
language design and computing. Carol Willing will moderate the discussion.

No broadcast of the livestream. There are requests out to potential donors
to support a broadcast of the livestream. Otherwise being on premises is
the only way to watch this historic discussion.
