Thanks for the heads up Thomas.
I'm hoping to be there, any idea how long the talk is?

Hi all,
The next Southampton Python User Group meeting will be on Monday, with a
talk about robotic sailing:
When: 6pm, Monday 3rd October
Where: Room 1083, Nuffield Theatre (Building 6), University of
Southampton.
(Right by the university bus interchange, if you're coming on public
transport)
The speaker, Sophia Schillai, led a team from the University which
earlier this month won the small boats class of the World Robotic
Sailing Championship in Portugal.
As usual, after the talk there will be a chance to give lightning talks
- the suggested theme is robots, sensors, and code that interacts with
the physical world. If you'd like to give a brief (maximum five minutes)
talk, please let me know!
Refreshments will be provided, and we'll go to a nearby pub afterwards
for drinks and food.
Best wishes,
Thomas

Sophia led a team from the University of Southampton which recently won
the World Robotic Sailing Competition (Micro Sailboat class). Come and
hear about how we used Python and Linux to make a boat sail itself,
including:
- Why is it so hard to make a robot sail?
- What happened to us at the World Robotic Sailing Championship (besides
winning it)?
- Who are ROS and Brian?
- What tools did we combine to make the Black Python sail?
