On March 27th, 2009, we held a Birds of a Feather (BoF) meeting at PyCon 2009. I stuck it on the Open Space board and we had around 18 people show up with a couple that would drift in and out of the room. I think it was one of the high points for me because I go to meet others who use the wx framework. Christopher Barker was also there, and it was great to meet him.
We discussed various things that we were doing in wxPython and the issues that we encountered. We also gave advice to others that were having some problems or were considering using wxPython. It was just nice to learn what others were doing and get to network a bit. And that’s all I really have to say about it. Hopefully next year, more people will come and we can figure out something even more substantiave.
Is there a video/audio transcript of the BOF ? Have been wxpythoning for a week now and must say the community is awesome. Thanks for your help on the forums etc …

@Hari – Alas, most Open Space rooms had no a/v. As I recall, the most prominent names from the room were Chris Barker, David Ewing and Mike Fletcher. The rest of the names I didn’t recognize.
As I mentioned in the post, it was mostly a forum where we helped the newbs with various issues. I think we even helped Ewing out…he was talking about how they needed to roll their own AUI Perspective saving and I told him that Andrea would have a new version of AUI that should do that.
Those are the highlights. I thought it was really interesting.

Hi Mike,
Didnt catch your reply till just now. Happy to say that my wxpython-app is done. Its a little rough around the edges , but the functionality is all there. I am calling it version 0.1 beta . “Deployment” was quite a challenge till I came across py2applet , py2exe and the awesome Gui2exe . I am using cxfreeze for linux and the others for Mac and Windows. The app looks best on Windows Vista and then Linux-gtk. Thanks again for all the handholding
