I’m thrilled to have been invited to present the keynote at this
year’s
EuroScipy
conference. I haven’t had a chance yet to attend the European
version of the SciPy conferences, so I’m very much looking forward
to it.

My recent trip to Scipy India 2010
was a very interesting experience; I’m really impressed by the
Indian government’s vision with their FOSSEE.in
project. Here are the slides for my
invited talk and some general
pictures,
but I have yet to write a proper post summarizing things. Stay
tuned.
I’m very excited to visit Colombia for a month, to teach an
intensive course on scientific computing using Python and a
practical, modern and hopefully useful approach. I’ve created a
section on Teaching with these materials, including a
detailed page on the planned course.

Some notes <indefero_dreamhost>{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} on
how to configure InDefero on a shared
hosting account to host your own Git repositories for private
collaboration (e.g. co-authoring of grants and papers using Git,
something you may not want to do on a public site).
November 2009, how this site is built
I’ve added a section <this_site>{.interpreted-text role=“ref”}
with the tools used to build this site, which several people have
inquired about.
November 2009, a discussion with Guido van Rossum
At our informal Berkeley Py4Science
seminar, the November 4
session was a very interesting discussion with Guido van Rossum, the
creator of the Python language.

September 2009, PyDy
At our meeting series, Luke Peterson from UC Davis gave a very
interesting talk on PyDy, a project
under the SymPy umbrella to
symbolically describe mechanical systems and derive their equations
of motion. (video
