[colug-432] PyOhio PyCamp 2013

[Chris Calloway]

CoLUG,

This is to (one time) inform you of an event in Columbus of interest to 
Linux enthusiasts and to ask for you help in getting the word out about it.

As you know, there is an annual free Python regional conference in 
Columbus called PyOhio. It's the first and largest Python regional 
conference in the US. This year it takes place Saturday and Sunday, July 
27-28:

PyOhio has always had some form of tutorial track. For some time it was 
even taught by a CoLUG member. This year that track has been expanded 
into an entire week before the conference, Monday through Friday, July 
22-26.

PyOhio PyCamp is both a program of and fundraiser for the PyOhio conference.

PyCamp is an ultra-low-cost week-long Python boot camp for beginners. It 
takes place in a state of the art classroom in the Ohio Union on the OSU 
campus. It uses a curriculum developed by a Python user group that will 
be in its 20th release at PyOhio. It teaches by intensive immersion. It 
teaches by the pythonic idioms that make Python a unique and dynamic 
language. And the early bird registration is still open through the end 
of the week:

I'm hoping that either you will be able to come to PyCamp, or will want 
to pass this information along to those who could use it. The PyOhio 
conference and PyOhio Pycamp are both sponsored by the OSU Open Source 
Club, of which I see some CoLUG members are also members. As I'm sure 
you are aware, Python powers the installation processes and package 
management of most Linux distributions.

I'm sorry I did not get this information to you earlier.  I had visited 
the CoLUG website some time ago, which advertizes this dead link to the 
email list:
