Heading to EuroPython

Posted by on June 26, 2009

I’m getting all packed up and leaving Sunday for [EuroPython](http://www.europython.eu/) in Birmingham, UK.

This will be my first time at EuroPython and my first time in Europe!

I’ll be giving two talks, one on [Windmill](http://www.getwindmill.com) and one about [CouchDB](http://couchdb.apache.org/) and Python. The Windmill talk will be more or less the talk that I gave at [Open Source Bridge](http://opensourcebridge.org/) last week, which went very well. This is the first time I’ll be talking about CouchDB, the most exciting new technology on the web. The talk will mostly be about breaking our old data modeling habits that we developed to deal with SQL and what libraries and tools are available for interacting with CouchDB in Python.

I will also be in London for a few extra days after the conference so anyone interested in a meetup should ping me.

Conference Season Begins

I’ll be leaving tomorrow morning for [Open Source Bridge](http://opensourcebridge.org/) in Portland, Oregon.

I’m putting together a new [Windmill talk](http://opensourcebridge.org/sessions/36) that tries to incorporate all the feedback we’ve received over the last year of speaking which I’ll be presenting on Thursday.

Mozilla is also a [sponsoring](http://opensourcebridge.org/sponsors/) the conference and there is going to be some great [Firefox related sprints in the hacker lounge](http://opensourcebridge.org/wiki/Hacker_Lounge). Dietrich is also giving what sounds like an awesome talk on extending Firefox called [Firefox Switchblade](http://opensourcebridge.org/sessions/251).

Hope to see you all there!

PS. I’ll also be at EuroPython and the Community Leadership Summit, more on those later :)
