@Tim
Nobody has volunteered off-line. I reckon you volunteered! Thanks. I'm
going to try to persuade Andy Robinson to do 10 minutes if I can, but
he's on holiday this week.
The proposal I'm making is so basic (in Python terms) that if the worst
came to the worst I could do it myself, despite my inexperience. But
that would rather waste the opportunity. I'm comfortable with 3
speakers, max 5 but that's harder to coordinate. My current contract
ends on 2nd April so I'll have more flexibility in my time to prepare.
The concept for this first lecture is several tiny programmes. They
don't have to be those I proposed. It had crossed my mind that a
potential future speaker might present a 10 line demo and use it as a
sales pitch for a later lecture or tutorial.
Tim, you're absolutely right that WMI isn't what I thought it is. I've
only used the TK package (old habits) and want to do better! Would you
like to meet up or 'phone?

Funnily enough, my company's business revolves around a "discovery
engine" which is entirely written in python. It uses wmi, ssh, snmp
and other technologies to find and gather information from customers'
server estates. We use omniORB (it's developer works for us),
BerkeleyDB, and a whole host of other technologies. Perhaps I could
get some of our engineers to present some talks too. I'm sure one of
them can explain wmi too!
I think I must have met you or one of your colleagues
at one of the London Python meetups some months ago,
at the Bank of England place. (And, I think, had
some email correspondence with someone as well). Glad
to hear that WMI is getting used out there, although
ironically I hardly use it myself these days! (Out of
interest, do you use my module or have you rolled your
own?)
But this is not going to buy the baby a new hat (to
coin a phrase). Michael G: has anyone come forward
privately with definite offers of help? We obviously
have to get this moving if we're going to fit into
this cancellation. Has anyone come forward either
to flesh out your spec. or to offer an alternative?
