Waking up at 7 after a 5 hour sleep is not always the best! Me and Jaek managed to “push” ourselves out of bed and, after a shower and some good breakfast, I started to be more conscious about the event. The event, hosted at Grand Hotel Mediterraneo, was beautiful as well as incredibly welcoming! They all gave us t-shirts, stickers and bags. Also I believe me and Jaek were the only one with a normal t-shirt, everyone had some sort of hardcore-undergroud t-shirt with logos representing VIM, Emacs, Linux and (obviously) Python. After a brief introduction of the staff and the event came the first two talks from two celebrities in the Python community as well as core developers: Alex Martelli and Raymond Hettinger. The talks gave a great amount of energy of what was about to happen, it was so nice to see people from differente race, cultural background and country all hack together for one single passion: Python programming.
Day one ended with another of my great passions: beer. Beer is all you need to relax, chill out and exchange ideas with a great and open-minded community such as Python’s. I also met my second roomate Dimitrijs which came later on in the day, Italy – Poland – Lithuania: this is a great team! I also had the pleasure to meet a great open source developer named Matthew Virbel which was working on NUI technologies. As days passed by I began to admire him even more for all the great passion for open source as well as his works with disabled people. This is a great example of how computer science can help emprove the world.
And now.. this is what PyBeer is all about
