[ANN] For SF Bay Area residents: a discussion with Guido at the Berkeley Py4Science seminar

Hi folks,

if you reside in the San Francisco Bay Area, you may be interested in
a meeting we'll be having tomorrow November 4 (2-4 pm), as part of our
regular py4science meeting series. Guido van Rossum, the creator of
the Python language, will visit for a session where we will first do a
very rapid overview of a number of scientific projects that use Python
(in a lightning talk format) and then we will have an open discussion
with Guido with hopefully interesting questions going in both
directions. The meeting is open to all, bring your questions!

More details on this seminar series (including location) can be found here:

Cheers,

Attendance was excellent (standing room only, and I saw some people
leave because it was too full). Many thanks to all the presenters!

Cheers,
