PyCon 2008 Wrap-Up
-
At PyCon 2008, I co-presented a talk, Supervisor as a Platform. The talk was well attended and the audience even included Python creator Guido van Rossum. We received a lot of positive feedback about our recent work and I suspect we picked up a good number of new users as well.
About two months ago, we began a push to build quality documentation for Supervisor using Docbook. After this was complete, we set out to build a new web presence. Our efforts culminated at PyCon 2008 when we unveiled the new Supervisor website.
PyCon was also very productive, with hacking on Supervisor, Repoze, and general WSGI fun. I worked on a new feature to allow Supervisor’s process group configurations to be reloaded without restarting Supervisor. Meanwhile, Chris made
supervisorctlpluggable so extensions can add new commands to the Supervisor command line.I also attended quite a few interesting talks, met some new people, enjoyed hanging out with usual the Zope and Plone folks, and overall just had a good time. PyCon 2008 was great conference and I’m looking forward to next year.
