You might join the next meeting perhaps.

We are lazy to write the minutes of the meeting. Perhaps we need
someone who is interested in writing the minutes (and he/she sees some
form of personal benefit in doing so).

Roughly we discussed the following.

 * Python 3.1 - How to get started with it.
 * Subtopics included Unicode vs Strings. Strings vs Bytes. Whats new
 * in python

 * Brad showed the audience some interesing programming paradigms
   used at ZeOmega for their purposes.

 * We discussed about logging module of Python

 * Discussed about PyCon and Brad shared some of his thoughts on how
   PyCon is organized. The essence of PyCon, etc.


The meeting started around 2:00 /2:30 ( I was unfortunately late at
3:00 pm) and went till 6:30 pm.

I enjoyed it, I learnt a lot of things and I hope others enjoyed the
meet too.

Every one suddenly getting interested in concurrency and coroutines might
make 'that concept' a meme. 

But in this case, the odds should follow the logic of Birthday Paradox.
(like how many people should be in a classroom so that you have more
than 50% chance of atleast two people sharing the same birthday. The
Answer in 23).

In a hypothetical scenario, if all bangpypers were watching only python
videos on a particular day, we have more than 50% chances of having
ANY two watching the same video is like this:

n(n-1)/2 = V

Where n is number of bangpypers and V is the number of Python videos.

Trying some actual numbers.

If there are 200 bangpypers, there is there is more than 50% chance of
two people watching the same video if number of python videos are 19900.

Wow! That's pretty high. :)

Would you please explain what UID is? Not a very common Python term.

When speaking of super, I hope you know that using super can be used
to call a method of a Base class without expliciticly naming the Base
class.

class MyClass(BaseClass):
def __init__():
  super(Myclass,self).method_of_BaseClass()


That is one prevalant use case for super along with other cases of
using diamond inherience via multiple base classes.

Now, if I could understand UID better, perhaps I might be able to
corelate it.

called hepfly.com . They made the official foss.in tshirt last year.
The quality was quite good. They also ship tshirts for the people who
missed the order on the day of the conference

Ravi (CCed here) has volunteered to take care of the T-shirt
procurement. I think he has another source in mind but since this came
up, it might be worth considering as well.

Have you checked out xtees.com? During foss.in a couple of years ago, we 
got tees printed by them for KDE India team. They are of very good 
quality and also the prices are optimal. They make and print the tees in 
Tirupur, Tamil Nadu, but will send them through some packaging service 
to other cities. The contact details are available in their site 
http://xtees.com . I will also enquire my friend about how he did the deal.
