| lac | yes. Tim Peters. | 12:14 |
| lac | also whoever invented Bit torrent, whose name I forget | 12:15 |
| lac | The person I would really like to get is Tufte. But I have no idea how much he charges to speak and | 12:15 |
| lac | I suspect we cannot afford him. | 12:15 |
| lac | Wow. | 12:21 |
| lac | Look at http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/courses | 12:21 |
| lac | he gives a 1 day course for 380 dollars which includes his books. Wow. | 12:22 |
| lac | I wonder if we could get him to give a 1 day course in vilnius? | 12:22 |

| pboddie | lac: Bram Cohen was the name you were looking for. | 14:11 |

| lac | http://www.gapminder.org/video/talks/ted-2007---the-seemingly-impossible-is-possible.html | 18:46 |
| pboddie | I think it'd be cool to try and get some Openmoko people interested: http://www.openmoko.org/ | 19:04 |
| pboddie | There's quite a bit of Python going on in that scene. | 19:04 |
| *** pedronis has joined #europython | 19:14 | |
| lac | I know at least one openmoko person, ole something or other from denmark. | 19:22 |
| lac | gave long talk about it at FSCONS in Göteborg last year | 19:23 |
| pboddie | Harald Welte would be interesting, especially with the Free Software angle. | 19:24 |
| pboddie | There are a lot of forward-thinking German people around. Isn't that right, xorAxAx? ;-) | 19:24 |
| xorAxAx | yes, but isnt harald a bit too far away from python and its community? he has strong FOSS ideas, though | 19:25 |
| pboddie | Michael Lauer, then? | 19:25 |
| xorAxAx | no idea what he does, i just know he is active on the mailing lists | 19:26 |
| pboddie | OpenEmbedded. | 19:26 |
| *** ghum has quit IRC | 19:30 | |
| pboddie | Interesting hardware stuff going on in Taiwan for Openmoko. Perhaps a comment on the state of the European/American mobile telephone business. | 19:31 |
| xorAxAx | python in the embedded market - quite some interesting perspective | 19:32 |
