[python-uk] PyCamp UK !
Hi, I don't know how many people here read comp.lang.python or the main python list (I suspect its a fair few), but there's been this post: * http://tinyurl.com/2ofgtq From: Jeff Rush <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: About PyCamp - a Regional Python Unconference A week or so ago, the Dallas and Houston Python User Groups met online in a chat room, to discuss the possibility of a regional Python conference. ... And tossing around some names, we decided upon "PyCamp". There is much to be discussed re dates, location and how it will operate, so I set up the website: http://pycamp.python.org/ ... The rough idea is to hold a Texas-wide unconference, perhaps sometimes in August and near Austin. There was also the idea of holding a rotating unconference that moves between Dallas, Austin and Houston, say twice a year. Now, I've got an idea for a venue in Manchester[*] which could probably cater to about 50-70 people depending on how the rooms are laid out which would work out to something like £15 - £20 *without* sponsorship. If we can get sponsorship then that figure would go down or could maybe be redirected into arranging food or similar ? [*] http://www.manchesterdda.com/article/83/ As a result, I'm wondering - is anyone else interested in co-convening such a beast? If there is, please email me back!

Hello Michael, Sorry for the top-post, but your actual suggestion is a long way down. :-) I would certainly be very interested in attending and helping with such an event. It sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately I'm tied up with writing a book, which will probably take me through until May/June. After that I will have more spare time and would love to get involved. If you're heading for an August time you'll need to do a lot of work before then, but if you set a date beyond that then perhaps I can be useful.

I'm not sure August is actually the best time for people in the UK either - since so many people go away then. My feeling is that the best time would be sometime in early September - either 1/2 Sept or 8/9th Sept. I'll wait for a few more comments and then chat to people on Monday.
