I'd be happy to give a talk in a broken English, but UK requires a separate visa and discriminating travel expenses. =) The question is what is the interesting Python angle? 1. Subprocess + Parts definitely. 2. Compiling C programs for Python programmers - I am lost in all those compiler, linker specifics, options and keys, and badly need a reference 3. This is a continuation of the problem above - make an overview of current tools and toolchain descriptions, add pictures and problems that SCons have, so that interested people can join to help us I did some full sessions on SCons 2007 and 2008. Most of the time I am plugging concurrency, parallelism and the pain in the arse that is the GIL. However that fight has been lost as Guido seems committed to the GIL in CPython, and Armin's experiments using STM are not really gaining much traction in PyPy or CPython. Well, STM is not ready yet, but people are watching closely into this as well as into https://github.com/dropbox/pyston ___ Scons-dev mailing list Scons-dev@scons.org http://two.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev

For the last couple of years I have gone just as an attender, and person who gets co-opted onto panels. I shtere perhaps a lightning talk. Preferably something with a serious message that can be done as a 4:58 comedic piece. -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder ___ Scons-dev mailing list Scons-dev@scons.org http://two.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev

I know, too bad there aren't many build system conferences around. ;) The subprocess issue might be of some interest to people...there is some data and technical discussion available.
