[Toronto-dev] PyGTK Introduction @ Toronto Area Python User's Group Meeting next Tuesday

[Mike C. Fletcher]

Our topic for the next PyGTA meeting is the PyGTK binding to the Open 
Source GTK+ GUI library.  Myles Braithwaite, a local developer and 
consultant will be presenting an introduction to the library including 
how to get started programming with it.  Myles has used GTK, among other 
things, to develop a pair of games for the OLPC laptop.  GTK is 
reasonably portable Free software that has a number of GUI-layout tools, 
with the Glade system being the most well-known among them.

We'll be meeting at our regular venue, Linux Caffe, which is open until 
11pm for the summer, affording us a much more relaxed pace for our 
meetings.  We'll plan to start the presentation for 7:15pm, with people 
encouraged to gather at 7:00 to chat and socialise.  Linux Caffe is at 
the corner of Grace and Harbord streets, 1 block South of Christie 
station.  Free WiFi is available, as are snacks and sandwiches, ice 
cream, smoothies, coffee, tea and the like.

Details on how to get to Linux Caffe are available on the PyGTA 
next-meeting page:
