ChiPy,
This month we have a great meeting planned. Our theme this month is Python
education, so some of our talks will be focused around that.
*When:*
Thursday November 10th
6:00pm: doors open; food arrives
7:00pm: Talks Start promptly at 7
*How:*You can rsvp at chipy.org or via our Meetup
<https://www.meetup.com/_ChiPy_/events/235068428/> group.
*Where:*
Coding Dojo
213 W Institute Pl #207 Chicago, IL 60610
*What:*
- *Migrating django application data*
(0:25:00 Minutes)
By: Eevel Weezel
Discussion of common problems migrating Django application databases,
particularly when switching DBMS.
- *Introducing Python in an after school setting*
(0:15:00 Minutes)
By: Kenneth Wade
I've lead a couple once-a-week, 10-week apprenticeships that allow
5th-8th grade students to explore the basics of Python through an
interactive shell at their elementary school. The students primarily use
lab computers, but they are also exposed to general command-line concepts
through the use of several customized Linux laptops. In this talk I will
discuss my goals for the students, the concepts that I introduce, how I
interact with the students, some of the challenges that arise (for myself
and the students), and some tips that may be helpful to other volunteers.
- *Module the Month: Turtle*
(0:10:00 Minutes)
By: Chris Foresman
In keeping with the education theme, I thought I would give a talk on
the Turtle module in Python, which is more or less a clone of Logo.
Thanks always to all our Platinum sponsors, especially: Braintree,
Imaginary Landscape, and Telnyx.
Please be aware of our code of conduct http://www.chipy.org/pages/conduct/
See you there!

Hi ChiPy,
We are looking for speakers for the November 10th ChiPy meeting.
This month, we'd like to center our talks around an *education theme*. So,
we'd be interested to hear how you use Python for educational purposes. Or
if you are an educator and you use Python, we'd be interested to hear from
you.
We are happy to have speakers of all experience levels. Here's a great way
to get involved with the Python community.
In addition to our normal talks, we are looking for someone who is willing
to give a 5-10 minute "*Module of the Month*" lightning talk, covering a
useful Python module or module feature.
*If you'd like to speak, keep in mind:*
- Talks typically range between 10 and 45 min (including question time)
- Talks should be Python-related.
*To submit a talk:*
- Please send your talk idea to this list.
- We'll need you to fill out the talk proposal form to get you on the
schedule.

Let me know if you have any questions, and hope to hear from you soon!
If you'd like to attend the next meeting, you can rsvp at chipy.org or via
our Meetup <http://www.meetup.com/_ChiPy_/> group.
