[Madison] [MadPy] upcoming meeting
by Benet Devereux Jan. 22, 2010

Jan. 22, 2010

Hey all, We have a a meeting coming up in just a week and a half. We are looking at having it in a room at the Computer Science Department so that a projector and more space is available - and there's no background music - and then adjourning to a bar or coffee-place for social time after the presentation. We still however need a topic! Here are possibilities known of right now: - PyLucene (Python wrapper for text search engine) (Max) - scientific computing in Python (James) - SQLAlchemy (Matt and maybe Farhan) Any other suggestions/volunteers? B. __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift? Give the gift of Flickr! http://www.flickr.com/gift/

[Madison] Haiti relief: pythonistas needed
by Nicholas Preston Jan. 16, 2010

Jan. 16, 2010

Hello MadPy, This is Nico from UW Python Users Group. We're working on the Haiti relief operations in conjunction with Sahana software. If anyone can spare some time, we need help. We're developing an application in Web2Py. Anyone with experience in MVC frameworks (web2py, pylons, django, rails, etc ...) or javascript would be appreciated. Please email me if you'd like to help (nicopresto(a)gmail.com). We're setup on University Avenue, so you could join us in person or join our IRC channel to help remotely. I'll provide more info in response to your email. The application we are developing will connect relief agencies with people who upload their needs through a web application or SMS via Ushahidi. Thanks in advance, Nico
