PyCon is coming up in just a week!  There are going to be quite a few pygame regulars there, so of course it's going to be a great time :)

Here are the pygame/gamdev-related events that I know about:

PyGame on Flash sprint - http://us.pycon.org/2008/sprints/projects/#pygame-on-flash
Some of us are going to work on getting pygame working in flash.  Imagine being able to play pygame games in any browser anywhere!  I'm quite excited about this one so if you're staying for the sprints, join us!  Lucio Torre is leading this sprint.

Galcon Tournament - Saturday - Ballroom II - 8pm-11pm - http://www.imitationpickles.org/galcon/forum/7/745/
Galcon is one of the top 10 indie games of 2007 :)  Feel free to come even if you don't have a Galcon license, they will be provided.  Be sure to download it in advance so we don't swamp the conf. network.  I'm running the tourney.  If you want to hang out, just look for the guy wearing the Galcon t-shirt, that's me :)

There are also a few really great gamedev talks too - Richard Jones is giving one on pyget, John Harrison is giving one on his interacive Halloween game, Mattie Casper is giving one on integrating python into Counterstrike.  These are all detailed in the conf. schedule.

I don't know of any other pygame related things going on, but if someone wants to run some BoF tutorial sessions, or whatever, that'd be great :)  The more pygame the better!  I'm going to post this info to pygame.org news now, but I'll update it in a day or so if any other events are organized.

There is a pygame tutorial on Thursday as well.
