confirmation on room on Centennial

Christopher Fox — 2012-05-23T22:14:17

Hello everyone!

We definitely will access to the room I've reserved for tomorrow night. The
room is 1226 in Engineering Building II. You'll need me to get into the
building, so I will wait in the downstairs area with large windows near the
roundabout.

PyCarolinas Talk Submissions

Calvin Spealman — 2012-05-20T20:01:17

TrizPUG and CharPy,

Some of you may already know that plans are underway for PyCarolinas
2012, to be held in October.
As the two Python User Groups in those "carolinas" (and please let me
know if SC has any groups I
should be including as well) I'd like to invite anyone interested to
join the organizer list. This will also
be where talks will be submitted.

This is hosted on google groups and you can request membership here:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pycarolinas-org

I am keeping this private, but not forbidding anyone from joining. I
just want to keep discussion about
talk submissions a little non-public.

Thank you to anyone who wants to lend a hand or just attend!
Calvin Spealman

I verified that the classroom I have reserved was unlocked as of a little before 5 today. Building access is not a problem -- I can get into the building at any time.

We are being hosted by CS grad student Chris Fox in Room 1226 of 
Engineering Building II on the NCSU Centennial Campus at 7pm on Thursday 
May 24.

This is Chris's first time hosting. He's got our room reservation but is 
a little concerned about finding out how to insure we can actually get 
into the building and room at 7pm. If any of our NCSU members can help 
Chris, please speak up.

I'll be driving straight to the meeting from Plone Symposium at Penn 
State. So just because I'm making this announcement, please don't call 
me if you can't get in the building. We're all in the same boat in that 
regard.

Porting to Python 3 e-book

Chris Calloway — 2012-05-10T16:23:28

Someone was asking about porting to Python 3 at the last meeting or 
project night. I told about a book by Lennart Regebro on the subject. 
Just to follow up, here is it for free in electronic form:

Re: May Project Night!

Chris Calloway — 2012-05-03T21:35:49

Thanks Calvin and Caktus for the project night and the pizza. A good 
time was had by all.

Curt, try printing the bell character under Wine.

Re: May Project Night?

Chris Calloway — 2012-05-02T13:24:45

No problem. I'm just super happy it's happening and I'm happy because 
I'll be able to be there tonight.

It's as much my fault for not having a recurring event content type and 
content well publication on trizpug.org. It could be better.

Re: May Project Night?

Calvin Spealman — 2012-05-02T12:48:40

Chris,

My mistake! I'm adding some reminders to make sure I stay on top of
these responsibilities in the future.

I've posted to the site and mailing list, even if it was late.

May 2, 2012 Project Night (Sorry for the posting delay!)

Calvin Spealman — 2012-05-02T12:47:57

TriZPUG,

Caktus Consulting Group has offered to host a new monthly project
night for TriZPUG, with the inaugural meeting this May 2nd. This is
announced on both on the trizpug.org website and meetup.com, which I
want to strongly encourage everyone to use and RSVP with, tho it is
not required. RSVPs tell prospective members that we are an active
group and publicise the turnout for our events. A simple RSVP if you
plan to attend, or even if you don't, is a very simple way to help
visibility to new and potential members.

Event Description:

Have a project you want to show off, share, seek help with, or just
get some work done surrounded my like minded python lovers? Join us
for our first monthly hack night and do just that! Don't have
something to work on? Show up and enjoy the energy, sprint on an open
source project, find something interesting to contribute to or be
inspired by!

The setting is informal and there is no schedule, so don't worry if
you show up past the start time.

I believe so, I got a notice about the venue changing (suite # was added) today.


Oversight maybe? I know nothing about updating either one.

May Project Night?

Chris Calloway — 2012-05-01T15:34:06

Is there still a project night tomorrow at 6pm?

I ask because it has a recurring calendar item on meetup.com, but hasn't 
been updated on trizpug.org.

Chris Calloway — 2012-04-30T19:35:28

Thanks. Just now seeing this as the [group-organizers] string in the 
subject line caused this to go to my [group-organizers] email folder, 
which doesn't get read nearly as often as the [TriZPUG] folder. :)

PyOhio 2012 Call for Proposals

Chris Calloway — 2012-04-30T15:38:35

I know it's not local, but PyOhio is the largest regional Python 
conference in the US and is in its fifth year:

http://pyohio.org

It may also be of interest to some of you because PyCon sold out a month 
early this year leaving many people who wanted to go without tickets. It 
may also be of interest to those of you who have been talking about 
planning a similar event locally.

Did I mention PyOhio is free to attend? Yep, free.

PyOhio brought in about 200 people last year. I know people from all 
over the US who go to it, simply because it is a smaller affair than 
PyCon. It attracts speakers from all over the US, also. It's a very high 
quality weekend, which you can see from the video archive on pyvideo.org:

http://pyvideo.org/category/12/pyohio-2011
http://pyvideo.org/category/11/pyohio-2010

Anyway, PyOhio just put out its call for proposals, which I'm passing 
along to you below:

the surrounding region, is now accepting pro

s/this/next/

Y'all have been so helpful in the past when I get senile and do 
something like that. What happened this time?

I'm serious. I was so thinking this week was meeting week that I made 12 
slides for a lightning talk at the last minute. I rushed over to Caktus 
because I thought I was running four minutes "late," only to find nobody 
there. I looked at my watch and saw "19" for the date and realized that 
I wasn't late. I was a whole week early.

My more new agey friends (yes, I have them) would tell me this is the 
universe's way of telling me I'm doing too much, which I already know. I 
think it's more the universe's way of telling me, goldang what a flake.

Anyway, I'm hoping I'm the only one who fell for it. I didn't see 
anybody else there. Thankfully.
