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.

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).

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).

It’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?
