PyCon 2010 Presentation

 

Im fine tuning my presentation for PyCon 2010. This year it will be held in Atlanta, Georgia.

The title of the talk is "Distributed Programming with PyRO (Python Remote Objects)" If you are attending, let me know! .

Who am I?

From Peru to Atlanta

I am a System Administrator working for Maxmedia Design, an interactive media agency in Atlanta, Georgia. Here we do cool web designs and we are always innovating. How else would you explain builing a 16TB ZFS box for the motion team?

I was born in Lima, Peru but I currently live in the US.

I try to give talks as much as I find interesting things with Python. Whenever I get the chance to get videos I will post them here along with supporting files (e.g. presentation itself, supporting code).

One of my first talks in the monthly meeting in Python Atlanta Group, here I talk about how I tested a daemon library I wrote.
