Python Web Programming Workshop Early Bird Registration Now Open


Hey gang,

We have a very special opportunity. Some of your who come to meetings 
and project nights already know about this and are just waiting for this 
message.

A noted Python web programming expert, Cris Ewing, is bringing his 
Python Web Programming Workshop here to the Triangle, August 5-9:

http://tripython.org/boot-camp/pywebpw13

This workshop takes you through Python web programming from low level 
sockets and protocols all the way through several Python web frameworks. 
It's the same material Cris uses for his course offered through the 
University of Washington's Certificate in Python Programming. I've know 
Cris for years. He's been here for sprints we've sponsored. And he is a 
great person and teacher with a lot of experience.

Here's a look at how the course looked at UW:

http://cewing.github.io/training.python_web/

The early bird registration is now open at the link above. If you are 
one of the people who encouraged me to go ahead with this and asked when 
registration would be open, please go ahead and register. You are the 
first to know about this. I'd really like to demonstrate to Cris that 
this course is going to be viable for him to travel here from Seattle, 
so he doesn't have to worry so much as he puts quite a bit of effort 
into converting the format of the semester long course into this week

PyOhio 2013 Proposal Deadline is Rapidly Approaching! (June 1st)

I'm forwarding this to you as TriPython is a sponsor of this by way of 
PyCamp. I went last year and liked it better than PyCon. It's homey like 
PyCarolinas but larger. As it was the first of these regional Python 
conferences, it attracts people from all over the country.

Fwd: FYI This Thursday at WebAssign we will meet in the room next to the break room

Forwarding you this from out ever gracious WebAssign host, Steve Gambino.

-------- Original Message --------
Subject: 	FYI This Thursday at WebAssign we will meet in the room next
to the break room
Date: 	Mon, 20 May 2013 12:50:41 -0400
From: 	Steve Gambino <stevegambino@...>
To: 	Chris Calloway <cbc@...>

Hi Chris,

This coming Thursday we will meet in a different room for our TriPython
meeting.  It is not as spread out as the break room but it has plenty of
space for our group.  It comfortably seats about 25 and has  a huge
screen we can project onto.   I will have signs clearly posted.  You
can't miss it.  It's labeled the Boardroom and we pass right by it when
we meet in our regular break room..

I just found out this morning that there is another group "Refresh the
Triangle" that will meet here on the same night.   Like TriPython, their
meeting moves around the Triangle.  I talked with the coordinator of the
other group and we will make sure this doesn't occur again.  Somehow the
business calendar didn't have events up-to-date.  I will fix that.
Just wanted you to know.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Steve

Call for Volunteers BarCampRDU 2013!

Call for Volunteers BarCampRDU 2013!

Posted: 14 May 2013 04:17 PM PDT

Are you excited about BarCampRDU 2013? We sure are! The main event begins this Saturday, at 09:00. Be sure to think up a 30 second pitch for the talk you’d like to give, the workshop you’d like to run, or the discussion group you’d like to facilitate. Support staff will begin set up at 7am. Coffee, bagels, donuts, and socializing goes from 8am-9am. Session pitches begin 9am.

BarCampRDU is an event entirely organized by its attendees. Everyone at BarCampRDU is a volunteer. This means you. This can be as simple as picking up a piece of trash from the ground or directing someone to the bathroom. It can be more, though! We have lots of opportunities for you to get involved and most of them are very easy. Here are some examples:

* Help setup the facility in the morning
* Staff the registration table and distribute t-shirts
* Coordinate rooms, schedule grid, and room logistics (A/V, etc)
* Welcome the caterers, ensure the meals go off successfully
* Provide an intentional social media presence, keeping people
informed about BarCamp events, changes in schedule, etc.
* Duty officers to handle complaints of harassment or other problems
* Prepare coffee and tea, maintain and clean the coffee station
* Put up Signs, greet people, answer questions
* Keep the wiki and Google docs up to date
* Help cleanup the facility before we leave
* Google Hangout operators (to help live stream and record talks)
* Mobile phone photographers/journalists (who will have author accounts to the BarCampRDU WordPress site and can publish to all our media resources from one location during the event)

Volunteering is one of the best ways to interact and build relationships with other awesome people. Please help us by adding your name to this spreadsheet of volunteers, keeping it updated if your plans change, and asking your friends to also add their name: http://goo.gl/DF2Qj

Thanks! We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

TriZPUG May 2013 Meeting: Your Talk Goes Here

In one day less than two weeks away, we'll be meeting at WebAssign:

When: Thursday May 23, 2013, 7pm
Where: WebAssign, NCSU Centennial Campus, 1791 Varsity Drive, Suite 200, 
Raleigh

http://trizpug.org/Members/sgambino/may-13-mtg

If you would like to give a featured talk at this meeting, just drop an 
email to this list with your talk title and your name will go up in lights.

Extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 minute duration are also 
welcome and don't need to be pre-announced. Plenty of free after hours 
parking is available in the upper level of the deck behind WebAssign 
(turn through the median just before the intersection of Varsity and 
Main Campus Drives). If the door is locked, call the number listed on 
the meeting link above. An after-meeting location for food and beverage 
will be decided at the meeting.

Mozilla is hiring a web developer

Hi all,

Interesting in getting your code onto a site that sees ~10 Million visitors per day? Just send us a pull-request [0]. Interested in getting paid to do that?! Mozilla is looking for a backend web developer [1]. Most of our sites run a very customized version of Django (Playdoh [2]), but we also have some stuff still on PHP and are starting to see more Node. This job will be primarily Python, but this being Mozilla you can go in most any direction your interests take you.

You'd be working on the Web Productions team (with me!). We manage mozilla.org and a number of smaller sites like firefox flicks, affiliates, and mozillians.org. All of our code is on github and very liberally licensed, and nearly all of our communication is via IRC. If you're passionate about open source and this sounds interesting to you please apply. I'd love to have some more mozillians in the triangle area :)

Best,
<div><div dir="ltr">

Reminder: Raleigh AND Carrboro Project Nights

I meant to send this out earlier today. But it's already one of those weeks.

The first Tuesday and the second Wednesday come back to back in May. So 
the Raleigh and Carrboro Project Nights are back to back this month.

Raleigh Project Night is tomorrow (Tuesday) at 6pm at WebAssign:

http://trizpug.org/Members/cbc/may-13-rpn/

Carrboro Project Night is the next night (Wednesday) at 6pm at Caktus:

http://trizpug.org/Members/ironfroggy/2013-may-carrboro-project-night

Whatever you've got going on Python-wise, bring it.

I'll be working on the seemingly never ending series of patches for 
filecmp tests. I finally got the green light from committers to refactor 
the entire test module.
