PyConAr2010’s barbecue
Author: Juanjo Conti, with words stolen from Fisanotti & Batista.
This is how it was announced on September 8th:
On Friday, October 15th at 8pm there will be a meeting around a barbecue to which all
PyConAr 2010 speakers and assistants are invited.
In the barbecue, the intention was to reveal the social side of the event, a place to play
ball, relax and chat.
The barbecue is an excuse
How’s that a barbecue is not a barbecue The original idea was to have a barbecue, but
it ended up being something that appears to be top-of-the-art in Córdoba: “pata” (leg).
The term describes a service provided by some people that arrive with a huuuge cow leg,
already cooked, lots of bread, some containers with different sauces and they cut the leg
“live” right there and then so that you can make yourself little sandwiches to your taste.
It was not clear to me if the lettuce and tomatoes was provided by the organizers or were
part of the “pata” service. —facundobatista
The barbecue, or meal in the end, is normally after the last day of talks, but in this
occasion, with Mother’s day and return trips in the middle, a lot of people would be
leaving Saturday afternoon so the moment to (in no particular order) socialize, think
back, enjoy and share happened in the middle of the event.
