Re: meeting topic. What about allowing 4 to 6 smaller topics with ~10 minutes each rather than a single, longer talk?

As our meeting announcements including this one always say: "As always, spontaneous lightning talks of ten minutes or less on other topics are also welcome. Anything you've learned about Python, no matter how trivial, can be a lightning talk." Calvin, if you want to call shotgun on organizing the next (or any) TriZPUG meeting as a series of lightning talks from the get go, you are "allowed." The call for talks doesn't imply one talk, or a specific length, or even one topic. I'm just looking for *at least* one topic to advertize which might bring in people who want to know in advance what to expect. I don't know if declaring a meeting to be lightning talks from the get go discourages anyone from making major talks. Certainly, if there is a long form topic, then there's always room for additional lightning talks to fill in. Whereas, if we say ahead of time it's all lightning talks, that might say to someone looking to make a long talk that their topic is disallowed. I'm just looking to "allow" (i.e., facilitate) whatever anyone willing to show up wants to talk about, whatever the length. Myself, I've only called shotgun on a lightning talk meeting in the past when either a) the meeting announcement has come so late in the month that there wasn't time to call for talks, or b) some event that a lot of TriZPUGers went to like PyCon just occurred and I was interested in seeing if I could scare up some of those folks into sharing their experiences. Our best meetings are when there is no topic and we have an enthusiastic group of lightning talkers show up. Lightning talks are always the fall-back when no one calls shotgun with a major topic. As always, TriZPUG isn't about "allowing." Its about people stepping forward and doing. One of my "do" things is making meeting announcements whenever I can, because they remind people of when and where. I find that meetings are highly unlikely to occur unless there is announcement. There were some months last year when I had personal and family medical problems and didn't make meeting announcements as a result. Some of those months other people stepped forward in the spirit of do-acracy, made the announcements, and the meetings went on. But a few of those months there was no announcement and as you might expect, no meeting. After when and where, the most frequent question people have about meetings is what. If someone wants to call shotgun on a what, "we allow" it by default because no one is going to disallow or stop you. If no topic is called, it's all good. If there's no meeting topic claimed by the time a few days before the meeting rolls around, you'll likely see me change the title of the the meeting announcement to say "Lightning Talks." It happens from time to time: http://trizpug.org/meetings/ (Some of those meeting titles will show multiple topics. They were likely meetings with no formal topic announced ahead of time, which turned into lightning talk fests, and where I went back and changed the meeting announcement title and description after the fact so we'd have some institutional memory of what happened when. Sometimes I have not always succeeded in that record keeping. Anyone is free to try.) There seem to be some people who will only come to meetings if there is a topic and that topic appeals to them. Then there are other people who seem to take an extra interest in showing up when there isn't a topic and take an interest in giving lightning talks. TriZPUG, like any group, seems to be a mix of spectators and active participants which ebb and flow. We kind of go with that ebb and flow, because it certainly doesn't make sense to go against it. Anyway, I try to encourage anyone coming to a TriZPUG meeting to always have a lightning talk in their back pocket just in case. If you don't use it this month, there are always months to come. :) -- -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://nccoos.org/Members/cbc office: 3313 Venable Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599
First, I apologize if this isn't the place for a job post (please let me know and I won't do it again). I'm fairly new to the group and trying to hire another python developer for a startup in Durham. I didn't see a specific TriZPUG job board.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the last meeting, I hate to flake out like that but we had a family emergency and had to go out of state. I've posted my slides and notes as a PDF on our project management site, I'll post a copy to trizpug.org soon. http://crm-plonedev.med.unc.edu/about/The%20blitZEN%20Method.pdf coming soon: - demo site for the project planning tool Dave demoed (blitzen.management) - new blitzen.unc.edu, with lots of useful information for public consumption - publicly available source code - pypi releases of our software Also, Dave and I will be presenting our latest application, blitzen.services at Penn State next week. I'm sure if you aren't going to be there, you'll all be watching the live feeds with bated breath the whole time, but I'll be sure to post a link once it's up. Thanks, JJ

I'm trying to get Stacy more involved in the IT communities around here (she's looking to get into computer forensics), but she's been killing herself at work (and it's 100+ degrees in her shop with all the dryers going and such), so I'm extremely motivated but dunno if she'll feel up to it. It sucks because she gets out at 6, so it'll be a last-minute decision. Anyway, what's up? Everything OK? JJ
