Montreal Python

Given the popularity of the last Django translation sprints, we decided to keep going. The next sprint will be on 2010-05-03 at Brasseurs Numériques’ office:

1124 Marie-Anne, suite 11,  Montréal, QC H2J 2B7

We warmly thank Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie for supporting the event with food and drinks for every participant.

The sprint begins at 6pm and ends once everyone is too tired to type.  Bring your own laptop or make an arrangement for pairing on the mailing list beforehand.  We only have 15 seats so please use the wiki to RSVP.  If you can’t join us physically, you can still participate on IRC, on #montreal-python on irc.freenode.net.

We are happy to annouce the list of flash presentations for Montréal-Python 13 next Monday:

• Hao Deng on Pointfree Functional Programming in Python
• Pierre Thibault on ipython
• Alexandre Bourget on WebUndo
• Sébastien Pierre on a surprise topic
• Yannick Gingras on the Montréal-Python wiki

Thanks to everyone who took part in the latest translation sprint of the Django technical documentation of Django on March 31 at Brasseurs Numériques‘ office.

We were seven motivated Pythonistas and we progressed very quickly in this endeavour.

More than that, numerous contacts have been made with the French Django community (Django-fr).  We now try to coordinate a little bit more with them because with the release of Django-1.2 we’ll need to keep up the good work, ideally with more and more people.  So far, we’ve completed the translation 12 files from the documentation.

Another sprint will be organized in the following weeks in the hope that we gather more people and to have fun with this work.

Thanks to the Brasseurs Numériques for their good hospitality.
Thanks to the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie for the food and the drinks.

Congratulation to our sprinters:

• Davin Baragiotta
• Cyril Robert
• François Savard
• Antoine Reversat
• Yannick Gingras
• Mathieu Leduc-Hamel
• Jean Schurger
