Hi Guys. This sounds super awesome for Auckland. Any chance this could
happen in Wellington as well?
Thanks

Moving the event forward sounds useful. I can't shift the event too
much though, because of work commitments. I'll be in Germany during
the middle of the month.

Shift to 22nd-23rd?

My view is a little different on this front more generally though. I
didn't know about Gather when I proposed the event, but I am actually

That sounds really cool Guy. Perhaps we could create a series of
workshops? Would you like to lead the development of a science track?
I'm wary of inflating expectations, but I certainly don't want to
discourage anything.

The focus is of the June 29-30 event is on people brand new to
programming. However, it will also be useful to introduce Python to

Kiwi Pycon 2011 - The Magic of meta-programming

Sat, 22 Oct 2011 08:22:30 GMT


Learn the magic of writing Python code that monitors, alters and reacts to module imports, changes to variables, calls to functions and invocations of the builtins. Learn how to slide a class underneath a module to intercept reads/writes, place automatic type checking over your object attributes and use stack peeking to make selected attributes private to their owning class. We’ll cover import hacking, metaclasses, descriptors and decorators and how they work internally.

Code quality; patch quality

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 02:10:17 GMT


Code quality; patch quality, Malcolm Tredinnick. Python user for 13 years. Linux user for even longer. Malcolm has worked with a wide variety of systems from banking and stock exchange interfaces, to multi-thousand server database-backed websites. These days, Malcolm’s primary open source contributions are as a core developer for Django and advocate for Python. All Open Source projects welcome patches from people willing to help fix bugs or implement feature requests. That’s why we launch the source code into the wilds in the first place. If you are wanting to contribute, however, the process can seem a bit daunting, particularly when you are first starting out. Am I doing it properly? What will happen if I do it wrong? How can I do the best thing possible from the start? These are all typical worries. I’ve had them, others have had them and you’re not alone if they cross your mind. In this talk, we will go over a few basic ideas for producing patch submissions that make things as easy as possible both for yourself and the code maintainers. How to help the maintainers help you. Malcolm has been a core maintainer for Django for over give years and has seen a few good and bad contributions in his time. These are the harmless and useful lessons that can be drawn from that experience.

How to suck at developing a web app, when you’re not a web shop

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 01:04:41 GMT


How to suck at developing a web app, when you’re not a web shop. (Subtitled “Friends, contracts, and missed deadlines.”). Eric Light is managing director of Gravity Computing, a software development firm in Hamilton, who specialise in bringing efficiency to business processes with clever software design. He is an active member of the Waikato Chamber of Commerce, a member of the NZ Open Source Society, Associate Member of the New Zealand Computer Society, and is also Chairman of the branch committee of the Waikato branch of the NZCS. An overview of some of our most blatant failings when we attempted to develop a cloud-app through an external contractor, coming from a suitably-embarrassed business owner and ex law student.
