Discuss a few topics we've recently talked about on the mailing list. Then write up a summary to post on the mailing list. Whether this can be made a public event or not depends a bit on the content that gets discussed at the meeting. Alternatively, we could have an informal and public Q&A session. > If it's just a public q+a on the PSF then we could > propose it as a talk. We already had talks about the PSF this year. The problem with talks is that they are mostly unidirectional. IMHO, a less formal approach would lower the bar to get people interested in attending such a session. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Dec 07 2009) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
