Help Publicize PyCon

PyCon 2009: Chicago

PyCon is the largest annual gathering of the Python community in the world. PyCon is really three events in a row:

  • Tutorial Days: Wednesday March 25 & Thursday March 26 (2 days of tutorials this year instead of 1!)

    Learn something new and relevant in intensive 3-hour sessions. The evenings are free for socializing and Open Space.

  • Conference Days: Friday March 27 through Sunday March 29.

    See what's going on in the Python world, meet your fellow Pythonistas, share your knowledge and experience, make contacts, brainstorm projects, discuss prospects... the sky's the limit.

    • Scheduled talks will happen in the ballrooms. 4 tracks of talks and panels on a wide variety of topics will be presented, with something for everyone. Also we'll have keynote talks every day.

    • Open Space sessions

    • Lightning talks are quick 5-minute talks that you can sign up for at the conference. In a word, lightning talks are FUN!

    • Expo Hall: Meet with representatives of companies using Python, supporting Python, and hiring Pythonistas. Snag some swag!

      Many sponsors will be recruiting, so come prepared with business cards and résumés if you're in the job market. You can also check out the Python Job Board for listings.

    • And don't forget the hallway track!

  • Development Sprints: Monday March 30 through Thursday April 2.

    Help advance your favorite project, including Python itself! We provide the space and the infrastructure (network, power, tables & chairs), you provide the enthusiasm and the brainpower. All experience levels welcome. The sprints are free!

heise online - 11.02.09 - Visual Numerics bringt PyIMSL Studio auf den Markt

heise online - 11.02.09 - Visual Numerics bringt PyIMSL Studio auf den Markt: "PyIMSL Studio heißt das neue Produkt für Entwickler, die mit Phyton arbeiten, das Visual Numerics auf den Markt gebracht hat. Programmierer können damit mathematische und statistische Prototypen, die sie mit PyIMSL erstellt haben, direkt in ihre Anwendungen übernehmen. Es handelt sich um Verfahren, die sich auf die International Mathematical and Statistical Library (IMSL) stützen."

c't - magazin für computertechnik

c't - magazin für computertechnik: "Visualisierung

Jenseits von Balken und Torten ersinnen Infodesigner neue, oft animierte und interaktive Darstellungen. Gute Visualisierung setzt abstrakte Daten in griffige Bilder um, bietet schnellen Überblick und zeigt Zusammenhänge, die nackte Zahlenkolonnen verbergen.

* Komplexe Informationen vermitteln
* Website-Visualisierung mit Processing"

--> Um beim Thema "Visualisierung" zu bleiben... In der aktuellen c't steht ein bisschen was dazu. Dort werden einige Diagramm-Typen und Anwendungsfälle beschrieben. Es gibt noch einen weiteren Artikel "Netzradar - Website-Visuallisierung mit Processing programmieren".

Interessanter Link aus den Artikel ist dieser hier ("This is an atlas of maps and graphic representations of the geographies of the new electronic territories of the Internet, the World-Wide Web and other emerging Cyberspaces.")

Shoebot | Main / HomePage browse: "Shoebot is a pure Python graphics robot: It takes a Python script as input, which describes a drawing process, and outputs a graphic in a common open standard format (SVG, PDF, PostScript, or PNG). It has a simple text editor GUI, and scripts can describe their own GUIs for controlling variables interactively. Being pure Python, it can also be used as a Python module, a plugin for Python-scriptable tools such as Inkscape, and run from the command line. It was directly inspired by DrawBot and Shoes. Thus, 'Shoebot.'"

Doug Hellmann: Writing Technical Documentation with Sphinx, Paver, and Cog

Doug Hellmann: Writing Technical Documentation with Sphinx, Paver, and Cog: "During the course of the project, my article style and tool chain have both evolved. I now have a fairly smooth production process in place, so the mechanics of producing a new post don't get in the way of the actual research and writing. Most of the tools are open source, so I thought I would describe the process I go through and how the tools work together."
