The house was packed with energetic people devoted to getting stuff done. Even though most of the people were strangers working on their own projects, it was really motivating to be surrounded by so much activity.</p> <p>My project was getting <a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/">boost.python</a> working on my iBook. I wasn’t able to stay all night and didn’t reach my goal*, but I did learn about <a href="http://ipython.scipy.org/">iPython</a> from the people sitting next to me. Someone (not sure who) had designed a great poster for the event and they had printed up stickers &amp; pins so there was even some schwag. I’m looking forward to the next one.</p> <p>* <i>My problem was I was trying to use the boost packages from fink. Turns out they delete a bunch of the files you need to use bjam. The answer? Download the source directly from <a href="http://boost.org">boost.org</a> (not sure why I didn’t think of that right away, actually). Mission accomplished. </i></p>
