Are you using Safari? There seems to be a bug with Speaker Deck where Safari doesn't like the SSL certificate served for the images (Chrome on OS X works fine). I've let Speaker Deck know about the problem.
Anyone else think "Sweet Jesus" when this link turned out to be a list of very interesting and widely appealing Python-related videos instead of something to do with purported sexism?
Yes and no. There have been various things including people including naughty pictures on slides, speaker rosters not being diverse enough, etc. Nothing to be proud of, but a certain group of saber-rattlers believes it's indicative of a 'community' problem, when as this week's issue shows, it's really just the sort of social clashes you get when any large number of people come together.
That is, this is no more a sign of the "Python community" being bad as the other dramas were for the "Ruby community."
For those of you looking for a refresher, there is a Linear Algebra class coming up in June on Coursera that uses Python as the main language for a variety of applications. I'm very excited for it, should be fun.
Here's what I desperately want: A ranking of these videos so I could tell which ones are the best. There are going to be so many and I don't have time to go through them all. If people were able to vote on the ones they liked so I could see just the top 20 videos, that would be superb.
For watching on an iOS device, I just discovered the 'Swift Player' app for enabling 2x playback, swipe-10s-jump, and background audio playback for videos on YouTube and elsewhere:
I really enjoyed Raymond Hettinger's keynote and his classful development in Python session. Intermediate and advanced Python programmers should watch these as soon as they are up!
Anyone has a good recommendation on "must see" video from pycon? Most of them look quite interesting (python at netflix, automated testing, Guido's keynote etc.) but if someone has any suggestions please let me know :)
PyCon reserves a few spaces in the expo hall for community organizations and open source projects to run a booth free of charge.
PyAr (Argentina) also wanted to run a booth to interest people in heading down there, especially because the conference occurs close to PythonBrazil, but we were full when they asked.
For what is worth, next year would be cool if people were actually force to man the booths. There were a few where there was literally noone there all the time. All cool by me, but a waste of space given some people who asked didn't get a booth.
Since my talk isn't up yet, I'll self-plug:

It's great to see how far pyvideo's gone since early last year. It may be because I'm still on the noob side of Python, but it's been an amazing resource since my first visit.
Very interesting... though there doesn't seem to be much buffer. Running at 1.5x I get to the end of the buffer often and it doesn't stream when it is paused. :( Back to downloading.
