FOSS.IN/2007 is coming up !

(This post's target audience are readers of Python, Zope & Plone
planets.)

This year's FOSS.IN/2007 is coming up next month from December 4th to
8th at National Science Symposium Centre, Indian Institute of Science,
Bangalore, India. FOSS.IN is one of the world's largest FOSS events, held annually in India.
The event's main focus is on development and contributions to FOSS from India.
So, most of the talks are related to FOSS contributions. I also will be presenting a
talk about contributing to Zope project. Well, my original talk I submitted was
a general Python talk, which got rejected, so I also ended up with a
talk like this.

There is another talk related to Zope and Plone by Sreekanth S.R.

During the event, BangPypers will be conducting some BOF sessions. We
welcome all Python programmers to BangPypers BOF sessions.

Me & Nikhil N (last year GSoC student who worked on Python 2.5 porting
of Zope 3) planing to work on some Zope projects at hack center. Any
one intereted in Zope are welcome :)

BTW, this is for the first time I am going to meet Nikhil in person.
It was a nice exprience working with him during GSoC project. He is
also from my native place, Kerala. So, most of our discussions were in
our native language, Malayalam.

Some thoughts on Python 3 adoption

IMHO, every Python community member should try to promote Python 3. I know there are criticisms about Python 3 -- whatever it is, " Python 3 is the present and future of the language ". Constructive criticisms should be welcomed and that should lead to better Python 3.x releases. As a community member what we can do to promote Python 3 ? I am looking forward to your thoughts on this.  Please write your comments here or you can write it in your blog and leave a link here. Before giving any new suggestions, let me check what are the small things that I have tried. In the beginning of 2011, I have created a website with the help of other community members to increase the adoption of Python 3 by collecting issues in a central location.  That idea didn't worked well, then I dropped that project. I have given a lightning talk about that project during PyCon 2011 in Atlanta . I have tried to use Python 3 for my personal projects and written blogs about my experience . ...

Ugadi, Weekend, Office, Zope 3, Buildout

I thought just to write something now. Today is Ugadi [1], a few days back only I heard this word. This is a festival in Karnataka and some other parts of Deccan region of India. I am from Kerala [2], we have a similar festival coming up in next month called Vishu [3] . So happy Ugadi to all ! . Today is leave for my company [4], so we got 3 days consecutive leave. I could have gone to my home, but for some reason I postponed it to next week. One reason is that my wife's final year exam is starting today, so I though let she study :) Remember my last post about Zope 3 [5], I wrote there that Zope 3 is evolving. Today morning I came to office to explore Zope 3 and Buildout. (I don't yet have a laptop, so office is the only place where I can do some coding) I am sitting alone in this big office now, oh! what a silence !! Today I manged to run a Zope 3 application solely from egg [6] Oh! I cannot write anymore, I think I am feeling loneliness now. Hmm.. better to go to ...
