We have two great webinarscoming up in September that we think you'll enjoy. If you plan to attend, register quickly as space is filling up for both webinars, and space is limited.
Here at ActiveState, we have a pretty diverse, multi-cultural group of staff. Whether born in Canada, the US, or abroad, we have many nationalities represented on our team. Part of what makes collaboration and conversations so interesting!
So today, a few of us got together for an international potluck lunch, where we shared dishes from our country of origin. Here are some of the delectable dishes that we shared (clockwise from bottom left in the picture):
I had the absolute pleasure of attending YAPC::Europe in Riga, Latvia last week.
O HAI, BTW! I'm Ingy döt Net, ActiveState's latest recruit for the Stackato project. I also am a long time Perl hacker (this was my 15th or so YAPC; I lost count) and former ActiveState employee from 2000-2001. I'm glad to be back at ActiveState, but where were we. Oh right, YAPC...
Once again, the journey to the lovely city of Portland for OSCON 2011 was definitely worth the trip. Kudos to O'Reilly for combining OSCON, with OSCON Data and OSCON Java bringing an even wider variety of communities to the Open Source conversation. For me, the inclusion of the Data stream made the trip worthwhile.
I was at YAPC::NA in late June. I should have written a summary about it a long time ago, but I wanted to include a link to the video of my Stackato Lightning Talk. That has not been put up on the web yet, but it should eventually appear at http://www.presentingperl.org/.
There were many interesting things at YAPC::NA, but here are the things I still remember one month later. I guess that makes them some kind of personal highlights.
One of our Senior Developers, Gisle Aas, just got back from EuroPython 2011. He suffered through the pain of being in Italy in the spring (really, who wants to be in Florence as the flowers are blooming? :) ) and wanted to share his thoughts on the event.
As PyCon 2011 winds down this week with code sprints and various BoFs, we'd like to give a shout out to the conference organizers for bringing together the Python Community and giving us the opportunity to connect!
It's countdown time! Less than a week remains until PyCon 2011 begins in Atlanta, Georgia--and we hope that you'll join us! It's going to be a great Python conference, jam packed with sessions. Some ActiveState highlights:
Last week, the sales & marketing team took some time away from the office to participate in a program called Kitchen Angels. Run by a unique company called Inspire Canada, we spent the day in a kitchen challenge (complete with a time and budget limitation!) to prepare meals for homeless people in Vancouver.
