I have been thinking more about your p...Hey Graham. I have been thinking more about your post and the talk you're thinking of giving. I am involved in organizing PyCon Ireland 2011 in Dublin. We would be delighted to have you as a guest speaker if you could be interested. I suspect we could apply for funding from the PSF to sponsor your trip to Europe.<br /><br />If you have any interest feel free to drop me a line rodriguealcazar Rodriguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12812958327033234553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363643920942057324.post-15849656611473066552011-03-25T23:25:13.632+11:002011-03-25T23:25:13.632+11:00That would make for a very interesting talk indeed...That would make for a very interesting talk indeed.

What I'd love to hear about would be practical consequences: how to tune your Apache/Ngnix/whatever if you're going to deploy Python WSGI apps, so you get acceptable Marius Gedminashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155998626202067226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363643920942057324.post-38171365495685732722011-03-24T20:09:30.896+11:002011-03-24T20:09:30.896+11:00I agree, sounds an excellent topic and something I...I agree, sounds an excellent topic and something I'd definitely want to listen to.

The only thing that crosses my mind is it sounds like quite a lot of ground to cover in the time allowed.<br /><br />Going off topic here I was struck by your having been to four different Pycons in one year.
