I have no idea what LBW is BTW. Leg Before Wicket 2007 doesn't make much sense to me :-) :googles Oh. That's a bit far for me (Never felt the inclination to go to that). > However I note that the W Mids Python group is planning something > similar at the same time, and the two parties are now sorting > out between them what will happen when, so at the very least we > will have a PyCamp this year and next year over the two > regions. We could even get two camps per year ;-) I chatted to John briefly at lunchtime today, and will be chatting with him tomorrow about figuring out how to make this work. I think the plan initially is to find out what the aims of the two things are. I have a feeling the two are complementary since it sounds like John's organising a conference and I'm organising an unconference. I'll hold on dates though until chatting with John. At the end of the day, we'll clash with *something* that much is guaranteed, however avoiding some of the more python & scripting language related things is my primary aim.

This is something I'll be pulling together in the invite. (Given the low level of upfront structure, the invite takes on much greater importance) I know it sounds like it doesn't work, but it works surprisingly well. > * Would presentation equipment be available for groups that might find > it useful ?
