April !SyPy Presentation on !PyCon

This months SyPy meeting attracted a larger number of people than usual, around 35 or so (compared to the usual 5 or 6).

I gave a talk about my trip to PyCon, which was received fairly well I think (I judge it a success by not being booed off the stage). S5 version is here.

Andrew Bennets gave a pretty interesting talk on Bazaar, although a lot of it was an introduction to distributed VCSes in general. One interesting aspect of Bazaar in particular, is the plugin system.

Dallas, Texas - !PyCon!

I've arrived in Dallas for PyCon. I'm very keen, yes indeed.

A few Trac hackers will be attending, and we're getting together for a BoF and a sprint. I can't wait to finally put faces to the names of those on trac-dev :)

I'm still not 100% decided on what talks to go to. My experience at LCA made me painfully aware that the subject matter is only a small part of what makes a talk interesting, the delivery is just as important. I'm trying to keep that in mind when selecting talks for PyCon.

I'm hoping to keep a running commentary of my experiences here. Ostensibly for posterity but in reality because I've been roped into giving a run-down on it for SyPy, by Alan ;)
