[omaha] May 10 -- User Group Meeting Notes

[Jeff Hinrichs - DM&T]

May 10, 2007
Well now, that was quite a meeting. We ended up not talking about any
of the announced subjects so it was a very good meeting. (I like
spontaneous talks) Eli made an appearance tonight
(http://eli.criffield.net/ ) and for a sysadmin who doesn't "program",
Eli has produced some pretty interesting python projects. sipie (
http://freshmeat.net/projects/sipie/ ), Pronounced SY PIE, like
"sirius python", sipie is a command line player for Sirius online
Internet streaming

We also talked about using private certs and CA's, the different
python based packages and use them with the twisted framework[WWW]
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/. Eli hammered out the details and did
something with twisted that not many knew was possible. Thanks for
sharing -- Very Cool.

As with previous meetings, kudos to Jay and Reboot The User for
graciously donating the space for the gathering. The new executive
conference room is nearing completion -- we will be stylin' then.
Also, props to Todd for covering the pizza guy before I got there.
Pizza and Pop sponsored by DM&T.

And finally, thanks to O'Reilly (Marsee) for the great door prize.
Eli, even won the door prize, "Programming Python" by Mark Lutz.

Mark your calendars early, June 14, and don't miss out on the fun.
Here is gCal link so you can add it to your calendar.

We'll be giving away a copy of "Python in a Nutshell", 3rd Edition for
a door prize.  There will be food and drink and hopefully many more
"lightning" talks about projects by local python developers.  There is
a rumor that we might get a sneak peek (and play) with a beta unit
mame based gaming console (think arcade size console).
