- kirinan 11y agoThis is the coolest thing I've seen in a while when it comes to conference. As someone with a young family, I cringe when I have to think about going to another city for a conference, which is all the time because I live in Cleveland. Its not the travel, I rather like traveling: its leaving the wife with the kids and just up and going. This allows me to take the kids and wife, and not feel too bad about abandoning them to fend for themselves for a week.
- therealkatie 11y agoThis is exactly why I'm organizing it. I have two kids (and a husband who likes to have me around), and it's always a bit of chaos when I leave for a conference.
- danvoell 11y agoDaycare really peeked my interest as well.
- therealkatie 11y agoMy kids both love the programs available, and they go all the way up to 17. For the teens, the format is about hanging out, and for the older teens, they even have exclusive excursions.
- kirinan 11y agoThanks for organizing it! Ill get with my wife, but this seems very affordable and fun event in particular for a family of four its the same cost as a normal "large" conference ticket and those don't include all you can eat food and daycare.
- paulirwin 11y agoI organized Code on the Sea 2015 (http://www.codeonthesea.com/ http://www.codeonthesea.com/) back in Feb/March, and it was a very rewarding experience. Best of luck with your cruise conference!
- longlivegnu 11y agoWow, I wish there was something like this for JS
- therealkatie 11y agoOnce this is all over, I'd be happy to write up a road map for how I did it! Maybe someone in the JS world will pick up the banner.
- longlivegnu 11y agoAwesome, I look forward to it!
- throwacc650 11y agohttp://www.pycruise.com/coc.html http://www.pycruise.com/coc.html Am I the only one here who finds these do more harm than good? I specifically avoid cons to boycott this political correctness. Its also a slap in the face to the maturity of python developers. I'm offended to read it. Frankly, I don't want my pic blasted around the world for a joke.
- maxerickson 11y agoWhere does that CoC suggest inflaming social media mobs?
- throwacc650 11y agoI will treat this as if you don't know. Look on github at pycon code of conduct. See adria Richards in the logs? Look up the blog post where they pulled the pycon code of conduct from geekfeminism wiki. Lives have been ruined, in part because the integrity of these projects are being lost to outside pressures distracting us from accomplishing technical goals. Python community is and has been open and diverse. We even let non-programmers into them and real programmers have been fired. If you do support codes of conduct, know that its not needed. Civility is and has always been apart of hacker culture. We don't care what you look like. We care if you code. We help each other.
- maxerickson 11y agoYou mean here? https://github.com/python/pycon-code-of-conduct/commits/master https://github.com/python/pycon-code-of-conduct/commits/mast... All I see that is even remotely related to the dongle incident are the commits like this one, asking attendees to bring issues to the conference staff: https://github.com/python/pycon-code-of-conduct/commit/69c324e89c8699b3bdf0ad1c1038f5dd30361d4c https://github.com/python/pycon-code-of-conduct/commit/69c32...
- inglor 11y agoIt's fine if you're offended by it - this means you're exactly the sort of developers conferences want to filter. Raising a good community is extremely challenging, lots of people feel excluded and making an inclusive conference is an extremely challenging task - it's also super important for the atmosphere.
- inglor 11y agoThis might be an "obvious" question but where is the list of talks or call for authors?
- therealkatie 11y agoIt's going to be an 'Open Space' style conference, so there will be a call for Open Space themes later on.
- jparishy 11y agoPretty cool. Ever since going solo I've wondered why more development conferences aren't in tropical locations so it can double as a vacation :-) I worked at an agency that did work for pharmaceutical companies and doctors/med salespeople do this all the time! There were a couple of jobs in Punta Cana, DR alone each year.
- reuven 11y agoThere was such a company for a while; I spoke on the first two "Geek Cruises," which has since re-dubbed itself "Insight Cruises" (http://insightcruises.com/ http://insightcruises.com/). I'm not sure which market forces pushed them in this direction. We managed to see Alaska and the Caribbean, which was super fun. I must admit that while those cruises were great fun and quite interesting, they showed my wife and me that it's not the kind of vacation or travel that is our style. Lots of other people do enjoy them, though -- and I'm happy to see that someone else is trying this! The organizer might want to contact the Insight Cruises people; I don't think that they're in direct competition any more, and perhaps they'll have something useful to suggest from their experience.
- TorKlingberg 11y agoHave you sorted out internet connection onboard? That is often a problem / very expensive on cruises.
- jordigh 11y agoCruise ships are kind of ecologically awful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_ship#Environmental_impact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_ship#Environmental_impa... As a Mexican who has seen our beaches gradually destroyed by endless visiting cruise ships year after year, I feel compelled to remind people how terrible they are for the planet. Not to mention, they are also super legally sleazy. They are often harboured at countries that have no legal protections. If something happens to you on a cruise ship, it's your own damn problem. Being registered in those tiny corrupt countries also means that they don't have to answer for their ecological destruction. http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/3-dark-facts-cruise-lines-dont-want-you-to-know/ http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/3-dark-facts-cruise-lines... I wish I could be excited about going to such an event. It seems like it would be super fun. But I don't want my fun to promote such evils. I am very saddened by the coral reef destruction I have witnessed first hand throughout my life. http://www.marineinsight.com/marine/environment/how-ships-are-destroying-coral-reefs-around-the-world/ http://www.marineinsight.com/marine/environment/how-ships-ar... http://notigodinez.com/empresa-constructora-de-muelle-dana-gravemente-sistema-arrecifal-paraiso-en-cozumel-unico-en-el-mundo/ http://notigodinez.com/empresa-constructora-de-muelle-dana-g...
