FISL 9.0 – 1. São Paulo -> Porto Alegre -> FISL!

Bruno Gola — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 02:04:48 +0000

There isn’t words to describe how I’m happy after this 3 days in Porto Alegre, attending to FISL. I’ll try to make a report of what happened, but it’s so much things that I’ll post it in parts.

So this is part one, and it starts at the São Paulo international airport (at Guarulhos-SP) on April 17th. Destination: Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul!

With me were my two friends Marcelo Honório and David Kwast. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 4h30am. Well, it left exactly 4h25am, after one hour flying they announced that the Porto Alegre airport was closed due to bad weather conditions, and worse, all near airports were closed so went back to São Paulo international airport. We had to wait until 11am, when the Porto Alegre aiport opened again and all flights that were late started to leave.

After that we finally did it and went to PUC (the university where FISL happened) but what happened there is history for the next post, the first day report

V GruPy meeting – March, 24 – Report

Bruno Gola — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:37:12 +0000

The GruPy-SP (São Paulo Python User Group) March meeting happened at Google’s office in São Paulo. The meeting was attended by about 60 people and we had 5 talks. This was a very special meeting because we had talks from Guido, Alex Martelli, Collin Winter and Cary Hull (all by video conference).

Talks:

Rodolpho Eckhardt – “PyCon 2008 Trip Report” – Rodolpho made a very nice report of his experience going to Chicago to attend PyCon 2008. It certainly made some of us think about going to PyCon 2009.
Cary Hull – “Divmod’s Axiom” – Cary Hull talked about the Axiom ORM, it was a fast talk introducing it features and benefits.
Alex Martelli – “Callback design patterns” – Very good technical talk. Details about the use and implementation of Callbacks.
Guido van Rossum – “Python 3000″ – Probably the talk that everyone was waiting, It was the same talk that Guido made at PyCon 2008, he showed the main changes that will happen in Python 3000 and what to do to be prepared to change your code from Python 2.x to 3000.
Collin Winter – “2to3″ – Very good talk from Collin Winter about how the 2to3 conversion tool works, where it does and where it doesn’t work.

The next meeting will be held on May. We will not have a meeting in April because of FISL (Free Software International Forum) that will happen on April 17th, 18th and 19th at Porto Alegre.

Thanks to everyone who attended, specially to Rodolpho who organized the meeting.
