UK Python event, April 3-6 2002 - speakers wanted!

[Andy Robinson]

The Association of C and C++ Users is holding their
conference on the above dates. There's lots of general
stuff on XML, C, C++ and Java, with good speakers including
Stroustrup himself.

Location is still uncertain but somewhere between Oxford
and Stratford-on-Avon (endpoints included).

They have offered to host a Python track and I've got 2
days to find some speakers. Duncan Booth will give a
Python tutorial, and I will do something on ReportLab.
Can anyone else give talks? could be on anything from a
case study to an app or library you would like to showcase.

Please reply direct to me with a brief synopsis, speaker
bio and desired time slot. Some Zope stuff would be welcome
as well.

Speakers can expect free admission and possibly expenses;
for others the cost is likely to be under £100 per day.
This is the perfect opportunity for a 'first UK python
conference' so let's go for it!

I'd just like to add that the ACCU Spring Conference is a very high
quality event: you can check here (
http://www.accu.org/events/public/accu0204.htm ) for provisional
details, and it is usually offered at a very reasonable price.

As a very satisfied attendee of last year's edition I'm looking forward
to attending the coming one. A high quality Python track would be an
appreciated bonus.

One last thing: the marketing/commercial side is usually kept to a
minimum! Last year there were only a couple of small stands outside the
conference rooms set up by small companies and a book stall from the
local branch of a national bokseller.

It's incredible how refreshing it is to attend a hype free conference!

Cheers,
