Re: Need a volunteer speaker for a cross-user group xmas event in Dec

[Ulrich Dangel]

If we can have slides/a Beamer i could talk about GIS without being focused on python but more on general tools and data, I.e. Dublinked, osm, TIGER, postgis, qgis, pgrouting, and openlayers.
The talk wouldn't necessarily feature all the things but would try to get you started without being focused on a specific programming language.

Cheers,
Ulrich

And thanks, José. I'm sure there will be more volunteers from PythonIE. *hint hint :-)

Hi guys,

some of the groups might not have any speakers, so feel free to
propose more talks and we can try and accommodate them all.

Hi Uli,
I very like your topics about GIS!

Thanks, Ulrich and Jakub.

I've posted the link to this thread to the Dec meet organisers and see what they think.

Hi Jakub/Ulrich,

Looks like GIS is a popular choice, Jakub/Ulrich, are you ok with that?

Let me know and I'll talk to you on a separate thread.

Cheers,

[Jakub Jarosz]

Hi,

Sure, I am fine.

I have done some work with Python and OSM / Cloudmade and Google Maps, I would love to help if needed. 

[Vicky Lee - Python Ireland]

Thanks! But we only needed one talk as it seems that we may have too many user groups in the 10 minute talks before a special event later in the event.

Oooh, now that you volunteered, how about giving a talk at Python Ireland's December meetup (Wed 12th Dec)? :-D

Hi Cygnus,

It sounds like a great subject for one of Python Ireland talk! What do you think?

Best,

[hrishiballal]

Hi Jakub, 

I have been working on Django and Simulation Python and OSM / Google Maps for some time. I am happy to give a quick talk about the work I am doing but would require help in preparing the slides, since I have not done this kind of talk before. 

Hrishi 

PS: My name is Hrishi, more about me at: www.hrishikeshballal.net or the podcast I do based out of Dublin: www.escapevelocity.is

Great stuff! We can put you down for a quick talk for Wed December 12th?

Can I get a title and a short abstract off you?

Jakub, you good to give a talk that evening as well?

If yes, can I also get a title and a short abstract from you.

Anyone else up for a talk? Again, we welcome lightning talks.

Yep, it's Wed 12th December, our last meetup of 2012. You ok with me videoing the talk, if I am there with a video camera?

Hrishi, if I do video the talk, are you ok with that? If not, that is ok, just send me slides.

How about someone from Python Ireland itself, like a wrap-up session i.e. details about
pyconf, highlights throughout the year etc.?

Hi,

I am fine with video ;-)

/Jakub

[Jakub Jarosz]

Uli,

It's good idea to wrap up the year and highlight plans (talks, workshops) for next year.

Apart from 15min talk about Multi-Mechanize I will 

prepare 5-10 min photo and video overview of 2012: Europython, PyConUK, and PyConIE. 

Some sort of quick slideshow + 2x short 2-3min videos.

/Jakub

Thanks Jacub, I'd do a roundup, but I can't make it on the 12th. I'll see you on the 4th though.

Hi Vicky, 

Video is fine. Where will you be publishing this? 
Hrishi

[Vicky Lee - Python Ireland]

If I am there to take the footage it will be uploaded to http://www.youtube.com/user/pythonireland & http://www.youtube.com/user/pyconireland

There's not videos in the Python Ireland one as all my other videos previously has been uploaded to https://vimeo.com/groups/pythonireland & https://vimeo.com/groups/pyconireland

I don't know why people prefer youtube to vimeo, the UI is so much nicer to use.

I'll prob have to set aside time now to download and re-upload the other videos to youtube.

By the way, if people find any issues with the videos from PyConIE this year, please let us know.

+1 for Vimeo ;-)

nicer design

less ads(!)

Hi Hrishi,

Sorry for late response. I will be back to Ireland Wed evening. If you still want some help we can meet and and chat about your slides next week.

Cheers,

Jakub
