[omaha] May 10 -- User Group Meeting Notes

[Eli Criffield]

It was close but i managed to win the door prize.
I'm tell ya you guys are missing out. Its hard to beat free pizza,
soda, an oreilly book and intelligent conversation.

Maybe we should invite the perl users group to join us, and try to
convert them...

I got the SSL Cert Verification stuff we talked about ironed out and
emailed twisted-python with a short howto:
http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2007-May/015357.html

Unfortunately thats only relevant if your using twisted, but if your
building server stuff why aren't you using twisted?

Jeff talked about his "Super Cron" like application, which has lots of
similarity to my yet to be named project of building a report
management protocal using xmlrpc. We defiantly need to work together
and see where we can share some code on that.

Thanks again for organizing the meeting and hope to see more of you
there next time.

Eli Criffield
