TriZPUG March 2012 Meeting: Call For Talks

Thanks to Mark Corzine, we will be meeting at SplatSpace again in March 
at the regular 7pm time:

http://trizpug.org/Members/cbc/mar-12-mtg/

You've got four weeks to think of and prepare talks. Right now the 
meeting topic says "Python Show and Tell," which is the default if we 
don't get any announced talks. You can change that to your topic by 
calling shotgun on your topic through this email list.

A big thanks to Mark for approaching me at the last meeting and offering 
to host us at SplatSpace.

Hackathon for 20-somethings in woods near Southpoint next Friday

TriZPUGers: 

Apologies for posting even though I have yet to attend an event (I have developed quite a few pylons/pyramid web applications, and I would love to get more involved in the group!) 

If any of you are 20-something (or young at heart, perhaps ...), this is an open invitation to join me for an a-professional hackathon next Friday in the woods near Southpoint.  Please email me for the address.  More details are below. 

Cheers, 

Eric Butter

I just confirmed space for the first "barely socially functional" hackathon (hard/soft/wetware) at a really tight house in the woods near Southpoint, on Friday, March 23

We will have a couple kegs (possibly from Fullsteam -- still negotiating that out, not officially allowed).  We are appealing to 20-something engineers in Durham and students <cough, cough, over 21> who love building and creating.  We have plenty of space to crash for the night, if people want to keep the nerd party rolling into the morning. 


We ask people to bring project ideas, or crazy skills to help others get their nerdy projects on a roll.  No business-related projects allowed -- this is a purely social event.  People should email me for the address (or to meet me before the event, if they would like!), and post their project ideas here (
bit.ly/barelysociallyfunctional).

Yeah, spending time out in the woods behind the mall sounds like something a bunch of 20-somethings would do ;)

&gt; If any of you are 20-something (or young at heart, perhaps ...), this is an open invitation to join me for an a-professional hackathon next Friday in the woods near Southpoint. &nbsp;Please email me for the address. &nbsp;More details are below.<br>

&gt; I just confirmed space for the first "barely socially functional" hackathon (hard/soft/wetware) at a really tight house in the woods near Southpoint, on Friday, March 23.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; We will have a couple kegs (possibly from Fullsteam -- still negotiating that out, not officially allowed). &nbsp;We are appealing to 20-something engineers in Durham and students &lt;cough, cough, over 21&gt; who love building and creating. &nbsp;We have plenty of space to crash for the night, if people want to keep the nerd party rolling into the morning.<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; We ask people to bring project ideas, or crazy skills to help others get their nerdy projects on a roll. &nbsp;No business-related projects allowed -- this is a purely social event. &nbsp;People should email me for the address (or to meet me before the event, if they would like!), and post their project ideas here (<a href="http://bit.ly/barelysociallyfunctional" target="_blank">bit.ly/barelysociallyfunctional</a>).<br>

Re: Non-profit opportunity: Support using Food Stamps at NC Farmer’s Markets

This sounds like a great opportunity to make it an open source
project.  Lots of us would likely be happy to jump on github and knock
out a new feature or fix a couple of bugs, even if we couldn't commit
to the responsibility of owning the project.  I could even imagine an
organized weekend sprint happening once in a while.

Re: TriZPUG March 2012 Meeting: Call For Talks

Reminder about the meeting next week at SplatSpace. I'm hoping that 
since PyCon just finished up that someone may have a talk to present. 
Otherwise you'll get my ramblings about whatever I was doing with Python 
this week. :)

Re: TriZPUG March 2012 Meeting: Call For Talks

Hi Chris,

I went to Pycon and could present something brief, not that technical 
(e.g. a summary of some initiatives I heard about at Pycon, with links 
to the videos).  Just keep in mind I went to Pycon as a newbie, so it's 
likely the group will already know about things that were new to me.

As a stretch goal, a technical option would be for me to get Pandas up 
and running and talk about it (http://pandas.pydata.org/).  This is a 
data analysis library that I would like to learn, and that was 
highlighted at Pycon.  I can experiment with that over the weekend and 
let you know.

Curt
