pboddieWow! The PyCon site even has a job board: http://us.pycon.org/2008/jobboard/19:31
pboddieListening to the Django podcast about PyCon. Interesting stuff covering lots of the technical issues, sponsorship, the size of the event, organising it, and so on. Some filler, but it's an hour of audio. Doug just keeps on coming with more material, though. Files are here: http://blog.michaeltrier.com/2008/3/10/this-week-in-django-14-2008-03-0921:35
jezdezhey, I'm currently on pycon21:41
jezdezand am originally from germany, how can I help at europython?21:41
pboddieWhat are you good at? What could you see yourself doing? Reviewing talks, perhaps. There's a full list of all kinds of roles here: http://www.europython.org/community/Volunteers21:45
pboddieAnd how is PyCon?!21:46
jezdezwell, I know that I'm still new in the Python world, coming from django, being there summer of code student last year21:47
jezdezpycon is great, very interesting talks, cool people and a somewhat nice environment21:48
jezdezit's almost family like, even then it seems to be the largest pycon ever21:48
pboddieHas it increased your interest for Python conferences? I think that going to one makes you aware of the possibilities.21:49
jezdezit actually made me speak to the guys of pycon and psf how I can help bringing speakers from here to europe21:50
pboddieWe're very interested in learning from other conferences, so if there's anything you think could have been better about PyCon, and if there's any area where you think you could make EuroPython a better conference, then we'd like your help. :-)21:50
jezdezyeah, that would be cool, how works your usual communication and organization?21:51
pboddieWell, we have some mailing lists where things get discussed: http://www.europython.org/community/Mailing_Lists21:54
pboddieBut a lot of stuff gets discussed on IRC, too, such as the meetings. These are then summarised on the Python Wiki: http://wiki.python.org/moin/EuroPython/2008/IRCMeetings21:55
pboddieI think I might make that content available on the europython.org site, too.21:55
jezdezyeah, that would be good. so, I'll idle here a little and see what I can tell you when you discuss things21:56
jezdezfor the time being I'll look on the list of volunteer roles21:57
jezdezif you need any contact to a current speaker, dont hesitate to drop me a line21:57
pboddieFeel free to speak up on this channel or on the lists. I read the logs and archives, so even if I'm not on IRC, I'll attempt to get back to anyone who had anything to say.21:59
jezdezok, cool22:00
pboddieRight now, I don't think that there's enough communication going on around EuroPython, but I feel that most people don't really think too much about it until it's just about to happen (or when they absolutely need to decide if they're going).22:00
pboddieMaybe people will feel more enthusiastic after PyCon. ;-)22:01
jezdezme definitely :D22:01
*** jezdez has left #europython22:54
