Next week dobee, jukart and me are going to attend the Europython conference in Vilnius, Lithuania. We’re really looking forward to meet some luminaries of the Python community - such as Guido van Rossum. Guido is the creator of Python, the Python community refers to him as the BDFL - Benevolent Dictator For Life - a title straight from a Monty Python skit.

Nowadays Guido works at Google in California and is still able to spend 50% of his time for Python itself - yay!

Other keynote speakers include David Axmark. David is one of the founders of both the MySQL project and the company behind it (MySQL AB). David has been working with MySQL since well before it had a name.

On monday afternoon I’ll talk about High Performance Zope3 and on Wednesday morning I’ll support Martijn Fassen at the the Zope Foundation talk. I’m sure we’ll have a good time there.

Looking forward to seeing you in Vilnius!
