Step out of your buttermilk-induced coma, distutils2 needs you! We are organizing a new packaging sprint on wednesday 2010-12-08, at Google’s office (1253 McGill College, suite 250).
The distutils2 project is progressing rapidly, and we must continue our effort. By the way, they released their first alpha version not too long ago.
We have 20 seats available, and on top of it, Google will provide us with drinks and food. If we’re lucky, we might even have some of their famous baked beans.
Please write down your name in our wiki:

Montréal-Python 17 (code name Apotropaic Archeologist) will take place in room PK-1620 of UQAM on Monday 2010-11-29. This is in the President-Kennedy building.
Here is our schedule for the evening:
- 18h00: Doors open
- 18h20: Announcements
- 18h30: Flash presentations
- 19h00: Break
- 19h20: Main presentations
- 20h30: Discussions and refreshments at Benelux
The main presentation will be given by Sébastien Labbé and Franco Saliola; it will showcase Sage, the math exploration environment for Python.
Sage is a free and open source software for mathematics. Featuring a growing worldwide community, its mission is to offer an alternative to commercial packages such as Maple and Mathematica. Slides will be in English and the presentation will be done in French or in English, depending on what the audience is more comfortable with.
We will present an introduction to Sage (history, mission, community, links with Python). We will also perform a demonstration that will highlight projects born from Sage and now growing independently: the Notebook interface and the Cython language.
Franco Saliola, professor of mathematics at UQAM, and Sébastien Labbé, PhD student in applied mathematics and computer science at the LaCIM of UQAM, are Sage developers since 2008.
The event is free to addend and not registration is required. Some snacks will be provided but do not expect a complete meal.
