[EuroPython] The Python Papers and EuroPython 2007

2007-02-19 Thread Tennessee Leeuwenburg

To whom it may concern,

I am the editor-in-chief of The Python Papers (http://pythonpapers.org), a
Python magazine created by a noncommercial group of enthusiasts. I am
currently contacting various conference organisers about the possibilities
of collaboration. Our next edition is due out in May, which is a little
before EuroPython 2007 is scheduled for.

I thought you might like to contribute an article covering the event to let
people know more about it. It would also be good to include any information
about last years' event, some selected photos etc.

Additionally, in our next edition we will be including a review of python
papers and articles published in the last year. Where we have access to
conference proceedings, we will try to select a few articles for inclusion
in this effort. Going forward, it would be great to have people nominate and
vote for favourite articles. I was unable to find the proceedings of
EuroPython 2006. Would it be possible to have access to this?

The PyCon committee has also graciously sponsored some bag inserts
advertising the Python Papers to attendees. Would something similar be
possible for EuroPython 2007?

Yours Sincerely,
-Tennessee Leeuwenburg
(Editor-In-Chief, The Python Papers)

Re: [EuroPython] Use of pictures for The Python Papers and EuroPython 2007

Hi all,

Tennessee from The Python Papers here. I had a quick look at your wiki page.
It's really great to see this early start. Thanks to those who have offered
the use of their photographs.

Horst, as you correctly identified, this is not related to the email I sent
you regarding your Python for Kids videos. We will cover these separately.

Thanks,
-Tennessee

[EuroPython] Paper recommendations from last conference

2007-03-13 Thread Tennessee Leeuwenburg

To whom it may concern,

Tennessee here. I am the Editor-In-Chief of The Python Papers, a free online
journal covering Python topics.

As you may recall my having mentioned, Maurice Ling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is
currently performing a review of Python-related papers published in the last
year from major conferences and other publications. As none of the people
involved with The Python Papers were present at EuroPython, we are not
familiar with what was published and are not able to review every paper
submitted during the conference. In order to assist him in his work, it
would be great if anyone involved with last year's EuroPython could
recommend 1 to 3 papers for him to review.

Thanks,
-Tennessee
