This can be tricky to find the first time: it's a semi-circular glass-fronted meeting room directly south of the large bike cage which is located behind the CSIT building. If you can get to the back-side of the CSIT building and arrive between 6:45 and 7pm there should be some fellow pythoneers around this vicinity to help point you in the right direction.

Show and Tell


Wednesday 7th March 2012

Summary: plenty of new faces despite the sleety, cold Canberra "Autumn" weather. Nice mixed bag of interests, more python games people which seemed to spark some interest.

Thanks to Adam for telling us about his deployment system.

We will definitely be following up on interest in being involved with Zookeepr project for Linux Conf.

Lots of great discussion for future talks, tutes and demos. There was a bit of interest in some fun python basics.

A group of hardened web-tech/django folk were talking queuing, caching and static serving until nearly 11pm at the Wig. Good times.

5 minute talks

  • "Package deployment and management in a locked down Windows environment" - Adam Kerz
  • "Upcoming: PyConAU; Linux Conf AU and Zookeepr interest" - Elena Williams

20 minute talks

  • "How did and will we use Python for streamflow forecast services? Bureau of Meteorology" - Daehyok Shin
  • Using Cython to wrap C++ classes: Part 1: What is Cython and who uses it, anyway? - Paul Leopardi (Postponed to next month - I have a cold and won't be able to speak, sorry.)
