fuzzymanlac: ping19:07
lachi fuzzyman, what is up19:08
fuzzymanHey19:08
fuzzymanjust checking Frank Wierbecki's availability for the Python VM panel19:09
fuzzymanso uhm... no particular question yet :-)19:09
fuzzymansorry19:09
lacI am just in the house for another 25 minutes then out for a dinner meeting.  Will be back late, but far from sober, too19:09
* MrTopf should start preparing for a podcast recording19:10
fuzzymanhehe - have fun19:10
lacwill do.19:10
fuzzymanlac: Is Raymond Hettinger coming that you know of?19:11
lacHe isn't19:11
fuzzymanok - thanks19:11
fuzzymanlac: Hmm... unfortunately the Python VM Panel has been scheduled at the same time as the 'unconference panel'19:18
fuzzymanI was hoping to use Steve Holden for the VM Panel19:18
fuzzymancurrently I don't have anyone representing CPython on the panel19:18
fuzzyman:-)19:19
lacaha.  well Steve would not be a good bet in any case, because python internals is not one of the man's specialties.19:19
lacHowever, there is close to nothing about the C Python internals that Samuele and Armin do not know19:19
fuzzymanbut Steve does know about the CPython design decisions and processes19:20
fuzzymanand I think the panel is more about that than implementation details19:20
lacI wonder if Martin vn Löwis is coming?  I haven't seen hi reg yet, but there are so many of them I could easily have missed it.19:20
fuzzymanbesides - armin and Samuele will be representing CPython19:20
fuzzymanI think he said he couldn't make it19:21
fuzzymanshame19:21
lacyou mean pypy19:21
fuzzymanyes19:21
fuzzymansorry :-)19:21
fuzzymanhmm... I'll just have to see if I can find a core CPython developer there19:22
fuzzymanah... I know - Georg Brandl19:22
fuzzymanhe will more than do19:22
lacAntoine Pitrou19:23
fuzzymanyep - he would be fine as well19:26
mattiHello.20:57
ronnysup22:06
mattihttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8mB6VsUHw22:06
matti;]22:06
ronnyMrTopf: sup, i just did read you'll arrive about the same time as me on the airport22:07
ronnyoh, bbl22:09
* Mez yawns22:20
zethEvening all22:24
LarstiQgah!22:24
* LarstiQ notes he gets two copies of every mail to the europython list, then notes he is subscribed with his paypal address!?22:24
zethyou are just lucky I gues22:25
zethyou can unsubscribe yourself if you want too22:25
LarstiQmaybe. I'm certainly quite annoyed.22:25
LarstiQzeth: yes, I will22:25
zethchill ;)22:26
LarstiQzeth: I can understand the idea of wanting to keep every attendee up to date22:26
LarstiQbut really, my billing information has been abused for way too much22:26
LarstiQit's just that, billing, nothing else22:26
zethSo I think LarstiQ has just volunteered to take over this and organise it better?22:27
LarstiQzeth: indeed22:27
zethThis is community volunteer run conference, if something sucks it is because you have not fixed it22:27
* LarstiQ nods at zeth 22:27
LarstiQzeth: the first step has been informing you about it22:27
ronnydelgation or beheading is an intresting way of management to get the best out of the people that forcibly want to help22:28
zethProbably better to email europython-improve mailing list22:28
* ronny sharpens the axe22:28
zethlol22:28
zethwell we have no management22:28
zethpeople keep getting the idea that John, Laura and I are in charge22:29
zethwhen really it is everyone's fault ;)22:29
ronnyoh sweet mind dissonaces22:29
ronnythe by accident elected management doesnt tell people clear enough that it isnt actually in charge22:31
*** ambv has joined #europython22:31
zethwe are not elected22:32
zethwell if people make assumptions22:32
zeththen what can we do22:32
LarstiQcorrect them22:32
zethwe say on the front page that  "All the organisers are volunteers from within the Python community"22:33
zethFar worse, is that some people emailing us thinking this is a for-profit conference22:33
mattiHi zeth22:34
mattiI wonder. Should I take my camera?22:34
LarstiQzeth: volunteers still need managing22:35
LarstiQzeth: and you and pinner _are_ the local organizers afaik?22:36
LarstiQanyway22:36
* LarstiQ has unsubscribed the doubly subscribed address22:36
zethLarstiQ: I agree we need managing ;)22:37
zethLarstiQ: Anyhow I think things are going rather well22:37
zethconsidering everything22:37
LarstiQzeth: yes, it seems so22:37
zethEverything is streched and so on, especially considering the core crew could fit inside a large car22:38
zethand we have 400 delegates22:38
zethor whatever it is now22:38
matti... and we work day jobs...22:38
zetha lot more than 40022:38
zethindeed22:38
zethand some of us work day jobs, night jobs and then this conference22:38
mattiVery true.22:39
LarstiQlike me.22:39
zethbut we will miss it when it is over22:39
mattiFor some reason two weeks before EPC were also the most challenging at work as well.22:40
zethAfter 2010 when we have to give europython back, we have to adopt another conference to hold in Birmingham22:40
zethMaybe some more Linux ones22:40
mattiGive EPC back?22:40
mattiIn what sense?22:40
zethmatti: me too I have a big website launch on 8th July22:40
LarstiQmatti: 2 years in a row by the same local organizers22:40
zethmatti: the UK has to give it back22:40
mattiOh.22:41
zethit then will go somewhere else22:41
zethunless somewhere else fail to get their act together22:41
zeththen it just sits in birmingham22:41
mattizeth: This Saturday we have huge launch of completely new code base in entire North America region.22:41
mattizeth: I was almost sleepless because of that...22:41
mattizeth: If there is something worng... > 16 mln customers might get upset.22:42
mattizeth: And then my boss will tear my head apart ;d22:42
mattizeth: So there is no real pressue p22:42
mattis/pressue/pressure/22:42
matti;]22:42
zethwow22:42
mattiThat is why I am so unhappy with myself and my contribution... to some extend... if I only could have more time...22:43
zethwell I know22:43
zethyou have done really well with the CD22:43
mattizeth: I've missed recent update to the talk materials.22:43
zethI think Jonathan hartley has been putting them on the wiki22:44
mattiYes.22:44
mattiI was getting them from the Wiki22:44
mattiAnd via e-mails.22:44
mattiBut people kept adding updated versions.22:44
mattiSo I was constantly keeping an eye on what is going on.22:44
mattiBut... I've missed the recent one... when one of the speakers decided to update his already updated once version ;d22:46
matti;d22:46
matti;]22:46
mattiTough.22:46
LarstiQcan't be helped22:47
mattiWell.22:48
mattiSome speakers done rather well.22:48
mattiI had a sneak peak on some of the slides.22:48
mattiAnd they are REALLY nice.22:48
mattiI'd say that they are of at most quality.22:49

MrTopfmaybe just call me ;-) 0178812806123:22
MrTopfI think I have a train arriving quite early there, 14:30 or so23:22
ronnyMrTopf: i'll try to get that one then (i'll start around 12:00 somewhere from bochum langendreher)23:23
MrTopfwell, simply call me when you are there. it should even be still a cheap call ;-)23:24
MrTopfon the list there was also somebody arriving at 17:35, maybe we can wait for him as well then23:25
zethronny: OMG weeze23:25
zethI hate weeze23:25

zethtotal death count: 3 sheep and 4 cows23:25
MrTopfI never have been at Weeze23:25
MrTopfbut what is worse, Weeze or Hahn? at least a train goes to Weeze23:26
ronnyi did choose weeze after seeing how i would get to hahn23:26
MrTopfbut I don't expect much from Ryanair anyway. I mainly hope they bring me safe over the water ;-)23:26
MrTopfwell, there is a bus from Köln I could take to Hahn so I guess it doesn't matter time wise for me.. at least I know afterwards what's better or worse ;-)23:27
LarstiQzeth: do you know Malpenza?23:27
ronnyMrTopf: well, i'll have fun tommorow, im from somewhere deep in thuringia, but times to get to the airports sucked __damn much__ in both cases, but at least i have some friends for sleepover's in bochum23:28
MrTopfah, that's good23:29
MrTopfand yes, for you both places are far away23:29
MrTopfLarstiQ: so what time will you arrive?23:32
MrTopfah, that was monday23:32
MrTopfso I hope you don't mind that we don't wait for you then :-)23:32
LarstiQMrTopf: I insist! ;)23:33
MrTopfwe will then think about it23:33
tobixenMrTopf: I think the toilets are still free on RyanAir ... just be aware of the luggage restrictions ...23:33
MrTopfI don't believe anything is free on RyanAir ;-)23:34
MrTopfprobably going to the toilet on board costs 5 EUR23:34
MrTopf10 while in air23:34
MrTopfanyway, I will go home :-)23:34
LarstiQtobixen: bmibaby is also fun with that :/23:35
MrTopfronny: we will hopefully meet in Weeze then :-) you might also find photos of me on flickr by searching for "mrtopf" :-)23:35
tobixenjust be aware that if you've paid for checked-in luggage, you're only allowed to bring 15.0 kg in that bag.  You'll have to pay for every gram above ;-)23:35
MrTopfI know23:36
MrTopfso I have to trim down my equipment I take with me23:36
moreati Pay by the gram, better make it something worthwhile...23:36
MrTopfesp. as I am not going home from EP but to the future music camp which is another 2 days23:36
MrTopfcheaper would be 2 bags but that's annoying to handle23:37
MrTopfanyway, talk to you soon!23:37
tobixensoon RyanAir will have free beer but paid toilets23:41
moreatior free toilets, but paid toilet paper23:44
mattiHehhe23:47
mattiPer cm23:47
matti;]23:47
*** MrTopf has quit IRC23:50
tobixen"We have looked into this before and the problem is Boeing can't come up with a mechanism on the toilet door to take coins. We're suggesting they go back and look at a mechanism where you'd swipe the credit card for a quid on the toilet door. They've gone off to look at that."23:55
moreatiIf they charged for the paper, then that credit card could fulfil another use too...23:56
* moreati gets his coat23:56
