I would ask that you please don't bring cameras or recording equipment into the building. I know most of you have smart phones with cameras so I would just ask you to not take pictures/make recordings.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

told Paul:<br>
<br>
"I would like to give a medley of talks starting with "Fun with the<br>
Newer Tools in Python"<br>
(<a href="http://us.pycon.org/2011/schedule/presentations/261/" target="_blank">http://us.pycon.org/2011/schedule/presentations/261/</a>) and follow it<br>
by brand new material on using super() and on the descriptor<br>

Hello everybody,<br>
<br>
If you signed up for the meeting, then consider yourself on the list,<br>
even if you were told initially that you were on a waiting list.<br>
<br>
Here is a custom Google map made by Paul, showing details about<br>
parking, which is in the structure under the ABC building and is free:<br>

We still don't have a topic from Raymond Hettinger, Paul is trying to<br>
get that info, but rest assured it will be a very interesting talk,<br>
knowing Raymond ;-)<br>
<br>
See everybody who signed up on Thursday at 7 PM!<br>

Burbank. Not only that, but the meeting will feature one of the best<br>

We'll have 2 other speakers from Disney too. I don't have the exact<br>
