In honour of International Women's Day, albeit slightly late, AussieChix in Sydney are meeting for a gaming hackfest: participants will be building a small game in the Python programming language. Check out http://www.pyweek.org/ for small games already built in Python.
What about non-programmers and non-Pythonistas? If you'd prefer to work in another language go ahead, we're encouraging Python only because of the toolkits and because many of us know it. If you're a non-programmer, we want you on hand for design and testing. Really, we do. Have a look at the previous PyWeek games for an idea of the need for images and sprites too.
When: Friday 6 March 2009 from 12.00 noon to 2.30pm
Where: Dockside, Cockle Bay, Darling Harbour, Sydney (nearest trains & buses at Town Hall, parking nearby)
Lunch: Delicious two-course lunch with wine and non-alcoholic beverages included – please advise of any special dietary requirements when booking

$90 per person (inc GST) for FITT members
$120 pp (inc GST) for non-FITT members
$85 pp (inc GST) for student
Corporate tables of 10 people: $1200 (inc GST)
In order both to let visitors find out about AussieChix members and some of their work in computing and Free Software, we've begun an interview series, of interviewing AussieChix members.
The Girl Geek Dinners Melbourne resume on 18 February with a trip to the Night Market at Queen Victoria Markets.
