“I’m a rubyist. For over a year now, I’ve been a rubyist writing Python.
I assumed I’d eventually by a Pythonista, but in fact, the more Python
I write, the more I HATE IT.
I’ll talk about how Python’s conventions are completely contrary to
teaching good coding practice. I’ll provide concrete examples of how
Python’s syntax is obtuse, and how it’s lack of opinion makes for
incomprehensible code. I’ll explain, in detail, how Django is a crappy
knock-off of Ruby on Rails. I’ll make fun of the “batteries included”
mantra.
If I do a good job, you’ll not only learn some interesting things about
Python, but maybe walk away wondering why you haven’t spent more time
writing ruby” 😀

Desktop freedom, by Carl Symons:
“Carl is a long time KDE user; a KDE advocate and KDE Foundation member.
For several reasons, he installed Gnome and started using it for the first time.
Now a few weeks later, it’s clear that GNOME is a good fit for what is needed.
– Why GNOME now?
– Overview of GNOME/KDE relationship & glimpses behind the scenes
– Loyalty or liberation
– Free and open solutions vs. my project is better than yours
– Compare KDE & GNOME desktop operations
– Advantages and disadvantages of each
GNOME vs KDE is a long-standing and wide-ranging debate, involving technical merit,
project culture, personalities, long term viability. Bring your desktop experiences,
and be prepared for a lively discussion”

Pods extends those capabilities. I will show a simple example
app and, time permitting, go over some of the code from a recent
real world project I have been working on for a non-profit.”
