Subject: PyCon Ireland announcements - RaspberryPi for Students, Book Signing, Entertainment
Hi Everyone,
With PyConIE 2014 around the corner, we have a few announcements to
make.
It's tradition at this stage for PyConIE to give away RaspberryPis
to students, this year is no different. We have a RaspberryPi model
B, signed by Eben Upton which we will be including in our Raffle for
Students.
Ian Ozsvald
and Harry Percival will be holding a book signing event at PyCon
Ireland this year, courtesy of O'Reilly. Ian will be signing copies
of his book, "High Performance Python", and Harry will be signing
his book, "Test-Driven Development with Python". We will have 20
copies of each book to give away, so keep an eye on the schedule to
avail of this opportunity!
This year, PyCon Ireland will be providing, lunch and a tea break
each day for all attendees and this year, based on feedback, we're
also providing breakfast. In previous years, we provided dinner
although we couldn't provide it to everyone. Therefore, this year,
on Saturday evening, we have arrangements made with Milano's
restaurant on Haddington Rd, and with The Farm on Leeson St Upper
where we will be reserving an area for those who wish to have a meal
before going to the pub. We will be sending out a survey with menus
and prices to attendees early next week to reserve a spot in either
restaurant.
After dinner, from 9pm onwards, we will be having a party in the
Leeson Lounge thanks to our sponsor, Mandrill.
Of course, if you don't have your ticket yet, you can pick one up
