Nash Hall? I don't even know where that is. I'm sorry you came all the way out here without finding parking. Alternate parking would have to be off campus, over in the Municipal lot or garage on Rosemary Street, or the Back of America deck on Rosemary Street, about a three block walk. If it's any consolation, back when TriZPUG met in Perkins Library for about two meetings, I was supposed to speak at one of those meetings. The parking garage beside the Bryan Center was being used for some special event in Page Auditorium, and they wanted five dollars cash to enter the garage, instead of the normal pay by credit card on the way out. I had to leave, go find an ATM, and come back. By the time I got to the meeting, the hosts had left and Jim Allman was hanging around looking for who ever else might show up. We went to the Armadillo Grill in the Bryan Center and talked to two hours about everything, which eventually led to us creating our own Plone installer and me buying my first MacBook. It's mu

The day before Tarek's book was published, he put out this article.

Thursday September 25 in 435 Chapman Hall on the campus of UNC at 7pm this week is our best meeting ever: http://trizpug.org/Members/cbc/sept-08-mtg There will be *two* nice giveaways. I'm not talking about ill-fitting t-shirts I scammed from conference sponsors. These prizes are worth your trip. The first is a copy of Noah (Atlanta Python Users Group - pyatl) Gift's new and hefty O'Reilly book entitled Python for Unix Systems Administrators. The another hefty O'Reilly book entitled Collective Intelligence, which is all about how to do cool mash-ups with Python (lots of good info on how to optimize your nearest neighbor code and the like). There will also be sodas and snacks. In addition to the lightning talks you bring, there *might* be a tune up for a Python talk at PloneCon. And there will be a discussion about plans for World Plone Day (Friday November 7). Please definitely come if you have an enterprise class Plone site (I'm looking at you UNC Healthcare, Duke Clinical Researc

Chris Calloway — 2008-09-04T19:06:44

Matt, Thanks. I think the best way to help out is if I copy this to our local user group. NetCorps has been active in our group in the past through Cheryl Jerozal. And, as a member of the NC Coastal Federation, I want to say how much I appreciate what NetCorps has done for us. Are you coming to Plone Conference? That might be a good fishing grounds for new help. There have been a number of very young people who have come into the Plone community lately, some of whom I know will be coming. Their salary requirements might be less. :) TriZPUGers, See below. Aaron VanDerlip and Jon Baldivieso both got their professional Plone careers started with NetCorps. NetCorps good work for the work of the good.

We are looking to hire a analyst/programmer for geospatial development. The ideal person would have a mix of GIS and web skills. Most of the tools we develop are web oriented, on a Python->Postgres->Apache->Linux stack, Plone being the main front end for our sites.There's possibly a training and travel component to the job as well.
