This would make it possible for me to attend BayPIGgies meetings -- my current schedule doesn't allow for the time to deal with traffic south of Palo Alto. (OTOH, my preference should be given little weight unless there's an outpouring of interest, my schedule only allows me to come rarely regardless of location.) I know that we probably don't want to deal with moving locations around because that complicates coordination and logistics, but maybe we could have occasional upper peninsula meetings -- given the number of local Python programmers, we certainly could support that. -- Aahz (aahz at pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "Programming language design is not a rational science.

I know Bernd has created a searchable index of youtube videos. I don?t know whether it?s intended as a static archive or whether he?ll be adding the features the old site had. If Bernd?s site represents a complete collection of youtube-hosted recordings, then 40% of videos on pyvideo.org must have non-youtube hosting.

FWIW, that's part of the reason why for IPython/Jupyter, we decided to use gitter instead of Slack. For projects whose main operating space is github, gitter doesn't add any new barrier to entry, since the login is your github account. I realize some people may not like having any accounts at all (or have a dislike of github), but in our case contributing in almost any way to the project already requires a github login. Our experience with gitter has been pretty good. I'm sure it lacks some of the super-power-user bells and whistles of Slack (I use slack at work, but only in a fairly basic capacity as a chat system, not a highly bot-driven system). The combination of openness and feature set of gitter has served us well; we use it extensively in the project; this is our main room https://gitter.im/jupyter/jupyter and we have a few others for our most active repos where we consolidate discussion on key topics. We switched to gitter from hipchat, and we are much happier with gitter. We have the open-source license that enables unlimited historical search at zero cost (by default, the free signup only gives limited history). Just a data point...

It was set up by an enthusiast, Vishwa Krishnakumar, who advertised it in a few places like Twitter ( https://twitter.com/VishwaKk/status/620430124588990465 ) and Reddit. While I understand that "pythondev" is in the name of the Slack instance, I think you may be overreacting by bringing up the PSF and core Python development, with respect to this Slack instance. By posting a link to pythondev.slack.com, I was merely pointing out a freely available resource that people on the Baypiggies list may find useful for collaborating or discussing Python. I was not seeking approval or endorsement by PSF, nor was I suggesting that core Python development move to this medium. As with anything, not everyone may like Slack, which is fine. My philosophy is, if people like it, and get something out of it, use it, otherwise, ignore it. I have found it to be a nice resource, hence I shared the link with the community. Some of the issues which you raised regarding accessibility and ease of use are valid. I think those are reasonable issues to raise with Vishwa, and see if we can tune the Slack instance to be a bit more usable. -- Craig -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Many people will go there first. But the connect/channel message would have an addition which has info how to connect to a concurrent as open-as-possible Slack (or Gitter or whatever) channel. And maybe some info gets added to the website about the best place (or places) to connect with with baypiggies folks . Probably the website should include that info no matter which direction it goes. And maybe a line at the bottom of the list emails. The advantage of having even a minimal IRC presence is that it is less subject to the recent Meetup ownership kerfuffle. An IRC channel can be the resilient signpost to somewhere else (a destination that may change over time). The advantage of other avenues as the primary channel is that they are nicer and richer communication experiences for developers. The group could even have it's own Slack channel that is not connected to the existing pythondev one to maintain some control over the experience (and again prevent the Meetup situation). (fwiw, the baypiggies channel name is available as a Slack channel [i.e. baypiggies.slack.com], and probably should be grabbed anyway by a "person in charge" in light of the Meetup situation even if it is not used ultimately to prevent...well...the recent Meetup situation). Also emails from the list could be configured to post to a sub-channel on the separate baypiggies Slack channel (again not part of pythondev Slack), aggregating that also into the experience. I do understand the concerns about transparency and openness especially in regards to an open source community. But with the IRC messaging and some "virtual README" info on how to reach folks added to the main website and/or the list emails perhaps the group's communication outposts will be less hard to find, and potentially be aggregated/searchable! This group, as far as I know, is not making the kinds of big decisions that might steer the rudder of core Python development and so might have decreased obligations to have all communication exposed without asking folks to sign in. Not blocking anyone by any means. But asking them to just click for an invitation. :-) -Karen p.s. Whatever folks ultimately decide will be Ok with me. And I do realize that Slack is not perfect for all scenarios...like super-big open source projects (you can google the articles). But it seems like this community might be (?) small enough that the Slack free plan would Ok. (not sure how many folks on the mailing list would use whatever client is decided on) On 2/3/16 9:02 AM, Saket Bhushan wrote: > > On Wed, Feb 3, 2016 at 9:04 PM, Cal Leeming > wrote: > > Slack is great for internal usage, but it?s not really geared for > public channels.

And while our chip is nano-scale, our data is big. Each sequencer generates gigabytes of raw data per second, resulting in hundreds of terabytes per week, all of which need to be moved, analyzed, and presented to users. As a Software Engineer at Genia, you will be working with an interdisciplinary team to build the pipeline that processes data from the sequencer using multiple analysis algorithms.

Dan Bikle is giving the talk and I will be MC'ing. We could use some more volunteers to make sure everything runs smoothly. I think we need the following: - A few people to sit near the back of the room and act as "greeters" before the meeting. The idea is to make sure any new people (or people looking a little lost) feel welcome. - A few people to take turns grabbing any stragglers after the meeting has started. I think the security guard goes away around 8, so we'll need to let people in ourselves. Anything else I'm missing? Please feel free to step up! Please let me know if you can help out.

To answer Blythe's question, I'm planning to arrive 20 to 30 minutes before the 7 pm meeting start. If you want to help with setup and greeting people, I suggest coming anytime after that, maybe around 6:45. If you cannot make it that early, that is ok -- there will be 30 minutes of networking before the talk starts, so I assume people will still be getting situated up until 7:30.

I'm super interested in this material. Since it's a workshop instead of a talk, it doesn't really fit the BAyPIGgies format of a talk. I may be able to sponsor you from my Silicon Valley Python MeetUp ( http://www.meetup.com/silicon-valley-python) group to get the word out. However, I need to resolve a few questions first. Is this workshop in the Bay Area a paid workshop? If so, is it intended to cover the same 5 day material you have in your link? Is it mostly free or is it going to cost approximately $900? What format are you expecting? What time are you expecting? If this is something that is "mostly breaking even" (we charge only for the space that is needed to rent -- if space not donated), then I would happily sponsor you regardless. (I assume it's a dry run of the material that you will be presenting in Geneva). If this is something that you also wish to charge for, I may still be able to help -- but I'd want to get a clear understanding and agreement of all the details before I commit to anything. The materials are super interesting. I would like to share the learning with anyone interested. (And, I also am personally interested).

He did a *GREAT* job. Dan filled a packed room of eager beginners. I believe our count was 140 (Grant, correct me if I am wrong). That's even more than January. LinkedIn was as gracious as ever. All in all, I think it was a great night. Please help me thanking Jeff for stepping up to the plate and running the month of February. He did a *great* job! Would you like to take point for a future meeting like Jeff did for February? We're here as your support network to explain the process and answer questions and fill in any gaps if you need them. So, you wouldn't be alone. And, it would give you a chance to contribute to the community. Please publicly respond to this email to say yes. Would anyone like to help us find speakers? We seem to have three popular themes for talks: * Beginners (like last night) * Data Science Tools (a very growing part of Python) like January * Advanced talks (like Guido's, Alex, Raymond, etc -- always awesome talks) If you know (or could approach anyone) that would be interested in speaking with us, please let us know. KUDOS all -- especially Jeff -- for making this an awesome meeting. Kindest Regards, Glen Jarvis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Sorry to have missed it! I'm putting on a Python-on-the-Raspberry-Pi meetup tomorrow evening in San Mateo because I'm still sold on the Pi's original mission: to learn programming. There are 40 people who have RSVP'd that they're coming to learn. I'd love to come to a Piggies talk and spread the word about getting Python in math and science classrooms. I know I've spoken before, but this time won't be about me and my journey but about the dire need for real programming in the classroom. I promise to bring the 'Wow!" factor with the applications of math and science in games, cryptography, 3D graphics and music using Python. Sorry for the cross-email but I'm not sure my posts to Piggies are being received. Looking forward to hearing from you!
