Tim - Thanks for the kind words and I agree with what you say. In particular, I felt a little guilty that all those people brought their lap-tops but didn't get to play (though we did get a lot of people to load Python). The large numbers do give us an excuse, and nobody SAD they were disappo

Hello Michael, Thanks to you, Pete and Tim for organising the talk. It was *great* to see so many people attend - a very pleasant surprise. I think that for the audience a complete novices introduction might have been helpful. Maybe the next ones could be something like : * A brief introduct

I'm in the same situation. My plan is: try to get in, if that doesn't work and there are a few people hanging around, see if we can go along to the workshop even if the lecture is full. Failing that it's either home or the pub. Tom On 7/5/07, richard barran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I'

Technically you do need to pre-register, and it's booked out. But in practice small numbers can always get in without registering, as there are often drop-outs. It is free for non-members. I'm keen to have a small number of Python UK people: to assist with the practcial bit, to spread the word,

Sounds cool. Registration is closed for this,though. Is it still worth turning up and hoping for the best? :) Pierre >>> On 02/07/2007 at 10:34, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you're in London around 6.30pm this Thursday evening, July 5th 2007, you might want to drop in on The Institution of Engin
