I missed out on BarCamp this year (had some family business to take care of), but I look forward to hearing the highlights from those who attended. =jimA= Jim Allman Interrobang Digital Media http://www.ibang.com/ (919) 649-5760 </pre> Jim Allman 2013-05-20T19:10:16 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.zope.trizpug/2889 <pre>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. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: PyOhio 2013 Proposal Deadline is Rapidly Approaching! (June 1st) Date: Sun, 19 May 2013 13:35:13 -0400 From: Brian Costlow &lt;brian.costlow-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt; PyOhio 2013, the annual Python programming conference for Ohio and the surrounding region, will take place Saturday, July 27th, and Sunday, July 28th, 2013 at the Ohio Union, The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. You can read more about the conference at http://pyohio.org. If you have questions about proposals, please email cfp-Ow1jLQs/QBQdnm+yROfE0A&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org &lt;mailto:cfp-Ow1jLQs/QBQdnm+yROfE0A&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt;. You can also contact the PyOhio organizers at pyohio-organizers-+ZN9ApsXKcEdnm+yROfE0A&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org &lt;mailto:pyohio-organizers-+ZN9ApsXKcEdnm+yROfE0A&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&gt;. PyOhio invites all interested people to submit proposals for scheduled talks, tutorials, and panels. All topics of interest to Python programmers will be considered. Standard presentation talk slots will be 40 minutes plus a 10 minute question-and-answer period. Tutorial slots will be 110 minutes long. The deadline to submit a proposal is June 1st. *Who Should Submit a Proposal? You. Your friends. Your friends' friends. Anyone with any level of Python knowledge is a candidate for a great topic at this conference. As we get attendees of all kinds, we need speakers of all kinds. In all ways and manners, we try to assemble the most diverse conference we can, and we do that with your help. Whether you got started with Python last month or you've been around for 20 years, we think you've got something to share. The Python community is stronger than ever and we're still reaching new areas, new industries, and new users. Be a part of growing Python by helping us change the future. In particular, we welcome submissions from people that have never done a talk before! And if you want help preparing a talk, let us know! Volunteers are eager to help new people do talks. You can submit more than one proposal. *What should I talk about? Anything to do with Python. Teach us about your favorite standard library module, or your favorite external library or framework. Show us something cool you built with Python. Science and data modeling. Web apps. Finance. Testing. Big data. DevOps. Integration with other languages. Do you want to work on a talk, but don't have any ideas? The topics below are up for grabs. Several people could easily work together on each one. Please take these ideas and stretch it out or focus on just one part of it or do whatever else you want. Parallelism shootout: threads vs multiple processes vs libevent. Walk through porting a library from python 2 to python 3 Python newbies. If you've programmed in another language first, Intro to Python for X Programmers, where X is Java, JS, C, PHP etc. If you're entirely new to programming, a short talk about your journey learning with Python would be great. We're still looking for someone to do an intro to Python tutorial for adults this year. Hint. *To Submit your proposal. Sign up for an account on the PyOhio website. Fill out a speaker profile. After that, you'll be able to submit a proposal. Pick talk or tutorial, and then describe your talk. You can edit stuff later, so don't over-think it. Regularly check your email for questions from the reviewers. *Keynote and Young Coder. We are thrilled to announce that Brandon Craig Rhodes will be this year's keynote speaker. Brandon has been a frequent speaker and contributor at PyCon, PyOhio, COhPy, and in his own words: "everywhere from the middle of Arkansas to the country of Poland." http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/ He is co-author of The Essentials of Python Network Programming, and author of a number of Python open source packages. https://bitbucket.org/brandon Also, Katie Cunningham will be giving an intro to Python class for young people 12-18 years old (7th-12th grade). This is a version of the Young Coder class she and Barbara Shaurette gave at PyCon this year. https://us.pycon.org/2013/events/letslearnpython/ *PyCamp PyCamp is a one-week, intensive, ultra-low-cost Python boot camp for beginners. It was developed by a Python user group and has been given to over 1000 students worldwide. Proceeds from PyCamps are used to sponsor Python community activities like PyOhio. PyCamp is taking place July 22-26 in the Ohio Union, the week before PyOhio weekend. Registration is open. http://trizpug.org/boot-camp/pyohio13/ *Register for PyOhio Registration for PyOhio is now open. PyOhio remains 100% free to attend. Just sign up for the free registration so we can get a head count. Or, if you want the T-Shirt, sign up for the paid ticket to get your shirt. (But don't do both!) http://pyohio.org/registration/ *Hotel(s) We have a discount room block at the Blackwell, right on OSU's campus for $120.00 a night. There are a few rooms blocked for the whole week for any out-of-towners going to PyCamp as well. Just tell them you are coming for PyOhio. http://www.theblackwell.com/ If it fills up, here are some other nearby hotels: http://www.hipmunk.com/hotels/Columbus-OH#!dates=Jul26,Jul28 Hope to see you all at the conference!

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.

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!

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, Paul McLanahan &lt; at &gt;pmclanahan pmac-4eJtQOnFJqFBDgjK7y7TUQ&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org [0] https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/ [1] https://careers.mozilla.org/en-US/position/o66qXfwj [2] http://playdoh.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ </pre> Paul McLanahan 2013-05-07T01:25:59 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.zope.trizpug/2876 <pre>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. </pre> Chris Calloway 2013-05-06T19:01:30 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.zope.trizpug/2875 <pre> http://trilug.org/barcamp/attendee-signup/barcamprdu-2013-shirt-sizes/ Please fill out this form, at the link above, and let us know your BarCampRDU 2013 T-shirt preferences.

I wanted to pass along the following message on behalf of the CityCamp planning team. This unconference is super cheap to attend, focuses on both open source/open data, and involves prize money. Oh and they feed you! Please feel free to pass along to any other user groups you belong to with members who may also be interested. Thanks! Traci Tillis Plone/ Open Source Advocate .....................

TLDR - think of the game Bingo. A friend of mine was trying to figure out a solution using the minimum number of ingredients needed to "learn" everything in the crafting system in the video game Skyrim. Turns out what I wrote provides a "pretty good" (but not minimal) solution.
