[BangPypers] Reminder - DevCamp Bangalore 2 in two days
Guys, a quick reminder - DevCamp Bangalore 2 happens on Saturday; do register now at http://devcamp.in if you're planning to participate so we can make appropriate arrangements. At this point in time we have 330 registrations and 19 sessions. These include sessions by at least 5 people who are core committers on various open source projects, one internationally known speaker and author, and two entrepreneurs; and this just among the people whose background I'm familiar with, so I'm sure there are many more people with very interesting backgrounds who will be present. So do sign up, and please spread the word among all the hackers you know :) Best, Sidu. http://blog.sidu.in Original announcement from 17th March === We're happy to announce the second edition of DevCamp Bangalore, DevCamp Bangalore 2 ( http://devcamp.in ); it's happening on Saturday, 11th April 2009. Like any BarCamp, registration is at the wiki. DevCamp is an un-conference by the hackers*, for the hackers and of the hackers. It's a species of BarCamp where anything a lover of computers and technology would consider important or entertaining goes. The first DevCamp ( http://www.devcamp.in/wiki/DevCamp_Bangalore_1 ) happened a little over a year ago and was a lot of fun; we're hoping to keep that trend going with DCB2. If you're planning to do a session at DCB2, do keep in mind the fact that everyone at DevCamp is a hacker, a pro. Please assume a high level of exposure and knowledge on the part of your audience and tailor your sessions to suit. Avoid 'Hello World' and how-to sessions which can be trivially found on the net. First hand war stories, in-depth analyses of topics and live demos are best. Best, Sidu. http://blog.sidu.in * Hacker as in http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bh/hacker.html ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

[BangPypers] Interesting historical relation between python & distributed OS
While crawling around about distributed operating systems came across some python related references and was amazed to see it was created for helping out with scripting and also for accessing some internal system calls of Amoeba distributed OS (whose development is dead as of now). Checkout here: http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general/#why-was-python-created-in-the-first-place This is not something new to share.. But just sharing my amazement after seeing the history behind python and how it started. Guess what ??.. already some set of people are getting involved into DS with python to overtake java.. but always survival of the fittest and the easiest.. :) -- Pushparajan V http://vprajan.blogspot.com ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
