Meeting space complements of:

Computer books
and technical books at discount prices

Check them out; they are a great source of technical books at very good prices!

If you have shopped at Nerdbooks.com, help them out by reviewing them at ResellerRatings.com. You will need your invoice number to prove you are a real customer, and not just ballot stuffing.

Setting Up Your Machine for Sprinting

Prepare your machine for wired or wireless networking.

We'll have both options available at the sprints, but if possible test it before you come.

Install Python 2.4.1.

The Python 2.4 series is quite stable and I see no reason not to use it.

Also be sure to download the Python documentation, in your preferred format, in case we have network problems and can't reference it online.

Install the Subversion Client software.

Select your text editor and install any Python-specific extensions.

Both Emacs and VIM have Python-specific macros you may want to use.

Install any secondary packages for your project.

If you'd like to work with a specific framework, such as Zope or Twisted or Numeric, it is specific to the version of Python you are running. For example if you have Twisted for Python 2.3 installed, you can't use it with Python 2.4.

If you don't have a specific project or framework in mind, that's OK. We'll discuss various ideas at the sprints.

Items to bring.

Power strips are always useful, as are ethernet cables. One person bringing a printer would be helpful as well.
