out involvement is key to making an unconference successful for those not familiar with unconferences check out this description see you all there jeff rush python advocacy coordinator posted by

could be you how about a screencast showcasing a different web framework like turbogears or twisted web or something about databases either relational or object jeff rush python advocacy coordinator posted by unknown at 4 44 am no comments categories screencasts sunday august 19 2007 2nd annual workshop python for the german speaking countries being held on september 7 2007 in leipzig germany the one day workshop is for both the experienced as well as novice programmer early registration gets you in the door at only 50 euros with a full day of presentations and an informal dinner in the evening after august 31 registration goes up to 65 euros cost of the dinner is not included in the registration price posted by unknown at 8 22 am no comments tuesday july 24 2007 python trainers promote thyself with the recent establishment of the wiki page on python org of those who offer training services for the python language we now have 23 listed worldwide many of the trainers are individuals or small companies and it can be hard to get the attention of the big it houses while skill credentials and a portfolio of past training gigs are important perhaps one of the best promoters is when someone has actually experienced one of your classes they gain insight into your speaking style how you relate to the students and your ability to explain complex technical subjects in an approachable way no class syllabus can convey that the python community has a valuable resource that can give you the next best thing screencasting screencasting is a multimedia creation that focuses on the instructor s desktop with voiceover guidance it can be in the format of an online slideshow a guided sourcecode walkthrough or a follow along interactive session they can be as long or short as you wish and they have opportunities for branding by using custom wallpaper behind your talks desktop and musical lead in fade out screencasts can be hosted on www showmedo com or if done with a large font video google com they can also be embedded in your website while being hosted elsewhere you can learn more about the details with a talk series i put together entitled casting your knowledge with style but perhaps you re really busy on current projects and short on time consider arranging an audio interview about an upcoming seminar you re offering and making it available as a podcast ron stephens of python 411 makes available an excellent collection of podcasts and may be interested in hosting yours unlike face to face presentation opportunities screencasts podcasts have the additional benefit that they promote your training offerings while you re busy on other gigs it s almost like cloning yourself and having more time for promotion it s all about leverage jeff rush python advocacy coordinator posted by unknown at 2 57 am no comments usergroups forming arizona and carolina regions two new python usergroups are being organized arizona michael march is starting a

comment monday july 09 2007 an update regarding python advocacy for those who might wonder what i do as advocacy coordinator i ve just updated for the month my list of accomplishments at http wiki python org moin advocacyaccomplishments my short list of things to tackle next is at http wiki python org moin pythonadvocacycoordinator suggestions and feedback are appreciated as is volunteering to create podcasts screencasts artwork or whitepapers there is a list of writing ideas at http wiki python org moin advocacywritingtasks and ideas for articles at http wiki python org moin articleideas for screencasting i m working with ian of showmedo com to create a collection of 5 minute videos targeted at those new to or unsure of python to make them aware of the strengths of the language in areas in which they might be interested we welcome contributions they re only 5 minute talks and so don t require a large investment of time and on the low burner we ve got some wiki pages bubbling about how to help new programmers get into python at http wiki python org moin advocacy programmingfornewprogrammers we could use any ideas that might occur to you as you read those wiki pages jeff rush advocacy coordinator posted by unknown at 5 53 am 3 comments wednesday june 27 2007 organizing python representation at oscon 2007 oscon 2007 in portland oregon from july 23 27 is fast approaching this is a professional conference that can give python a lot of visibility in the it world and draws a different crowd from our community run conferences like pycon there looks to be a good set of talks on the python track with several positioned to promote the use of python by telling its story code like a pythonista idiomatic python sqlalchemy taming orm with python super sizing youtube how to write a killer sugar activity exploiting multicore capabilities from python python 3000 programming for everybody cp4e coding with dynamic confidence there also is the opportunity to reach out by holding python birds of a feather gatherings the python community is a friendly group and face to face contact is important to convey the human aspect of python proposals for bofs can be submitted by visiting the oscon page for bofs i will not be attending this year so we need one or more who are willing to step forward and loosely organize a bit let s discuss this on the python advocacy mailing list and make it happen this year jeff rush python advocacy coordinator posted by unknown at 4 12 am no comments categories oscon older posts home subscribe to posts atom python
