My Italian PyCon experience

Posted by on May 11th, 2009 No comments

I came back yes­ter­day from the third Ital­ian PyCon (aka pycon3) which was held in Flo­rence and all I can say is that has been an amaz­ing expe­ri­ence. I had the chance to meet a lot of new great people as well as the BDFL (which won’t be back in Europe for quite some time, as he said). Here fol­lows a resume of what I think were the most inter­est­ing talks.

Practical Django Projects

Posted by on July 5th, 2008 No comments

Due to my devo­tion to the Django web frame­work, I finally got my copy of Prac­ti­cal Django Projects, by James Bennet. Not really expect­ing to have that soon, but a beau­ti­ful suprise anyway (to say the truth, I didn’t bought this: this has been sent to me as replace­ment prize for djan­go­dash because I was not eleg­i­ble to get the G33K beers since I live out­side US. Thanks to the gen­eros­ity of Daniel Lindsley).

Another LinuxDay is gone

Posted by on October 28th, 2007 1 comment

And even this year, the Lin­ux­Day is gone. This year we attracted more than 400 people and, as the other years, it has been an amaz­ing expe­ri­ence!
So, thanks to all the vis­i­tors, to the LUG­Bari and to every­one else has con­tributed to make yes­ter­day a great day.

Addi­tion­ally, I pub­lished the slides of my yesterday’s pre­sen­ta­tion. If you’re inter­ested, you can freely down­load them, but please note that they’re writ­ten in ital­ian. You can found the PyGTK talk’s slides here, while the PyClutter’s slides can be found here (sources here and here).

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go home and have a heart attack

The LinuxDay 2007It’s 2007. And it’s Octo­ber. And there’s the Lin­ux­Day this year too.
For those who doesn’t know, the Lin­ux­Day is a day where every LUG pro­mote Linux and the free soft­ware phi­los­o­phy to every­one who’s interested.

Last year I had a talk about Inkscape and the vec­to­r­ial graphic; this year, instead, I’ll hold two talks: an intro­duc­tion to PyGTK and an intro­duc­tion to PyClutter.

So, if you don’t have any­thing to do on Octo­ber 27th and you live near Bari, why don’t you join us in the LinuxDay?
