Friday night silly idea: * What about the idea of a "Fun Track" ? I write code because I find it fun. I work in software related work, because luckily the two can co-incide, but the fact remains I find coding *FUN*. I fought to get our stuff released to the outside world, for all the reasons I argued internally, but also because we're having fun with our stuff, and it's nice to share the toys around. I also know if I had limbs chopped off it wouldn't stop me writing code. It's FUN. :-) Some people don't understand the concept of "what do you do for a living" "I write code", followed by "What do you do for fun" "I write code" as being a valid answer. If however you answered "I'm an artist" they wouldn't find the idea of painting being fun odd. Having a FUN track ( or theme?) might help towards changing that. EuroPython, *ESPECIALLY* lightning talks is about the infectious fun of python, coding and related things to me. After all, my lightning talk last year was about something I'd done for >>fun<<. It was probably mad, but that's not the point :-) I think I'm indebted though on some level to Armin for showing me how presentations on stuff should be done - now they're fun all by themselves :-) I suppose games come under the fun category too ;-) Dont-take-too-seriously-cos-its-friday-night-ly, Michael. (Proposing random tracks, not so they get set up, but as the email equivalent of brainstorming the purpose of tracks) _______________________________________________ EuroPython mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
