RSVP is live: http://chipy.org/  I will be adding details and small
changes. The venue/date is set, of course.

As always, you can RSVP with me if the chipy.org site gives you troubles :)

This is going to be the best meeting ever.  This is *the* longly
anticipated crowdSPRING meeting. I think we started talking about this when
Tal worked there. Great speakers. New Venue. You don't want to miss this
one.

Cheers, Brian

I might try to con someone into recording it, and if that happens I
might try to stream it live.

I am not collecting anything, but the space can always use donations.
If you want to feel good, put $5 in the box attached to the fridge.
and then help yourself to what's in the fridge.

I'll see what I can do.

Knowing that someone is relying on it (whatever that means) will be a
big motovation.  Have them /join #chipy on freenode and talk to me
about it.  I am there more often than not.

Subject: [Chicago] Django job opening in Evanston
Message-ID: <CAAqhjtsd08eYmwQ3MdO5Gom4q5F=_5aqmryk-cUZJdTvY05R_w@mail.gmail.com>

I am leaving my current job to start a startup (lifelong dream).
 Therefore, I am looking to hire and train my replacement.

Timeframe: now, sooner the better (yesterday?)
Contract or full time employment

Overview: we measure how buildings are operating in real time, with a focus
on geothermal and renewables.  Proving how efficient, or inefficient,
buildings are operating in the real world.  This means LOTS of data, and
lots of really cool analysis and visualization.

Main skill: very confident with Django, ideally having deployed several
projects.  APIs and OAuth server and client.
Other skills: comfortable with full web stack (server admin, Django,
templates, Less/CSS, Javascript).  Bonus points for Flot or Raphael JS
plotting libs.

Company: we are small (~15 employees, mostly mechanical/electrical
engineers, 2 other technical/software people).
Location: Evanston, 1 block from Evanston Davis Metra stop, and 2 blocks
from Evanston Davis Purple Line CTA stop.  I live in Ravenswood, and my
commute is just over 10 minutes on the Metra.

I've really enjoyed working here, and hope I can find someone to pass the
torch!

Topics
------
 1. 7:00 PyGI/GObject/Vala (Tal Liron)
 2. 7:30 Pizza (Paul May)
 3. 7:45 Optimizing Django Templates (Chris Detmer, John Yang )
 4. 8:15 Open Monitor and Mentoring Google Code (Adriano Marquez)


Details
-------

1. PyGI/GObject/Vala
Tal Liron
PyGObject is a new approach to designing native libraries for use with
Python, and indeed with almost any language under the sun, based on recent
innovations in the GObject library. Tal will present the underlying
mechanisms and show you, step by step, how to create such a native library
in C. We'll then write the same native library in the Vala language, and
discuss the implications of this exciting new language. The presentation
will include a fair-and-balanced comparison to SWIG: you'll have to come to
the talk to find out who wins.


2. Pizza
Paul May
Free as in free pizza and beer!


3. Optimizing Django Templates
Chris Detmer, John Yang
Techniques for caching using template includes, Django views, Varnish and
JavaScript.


4. Open Monitor and Mentoring Google Summer of Code
Adriano Marquez
Adriano (crowdSPRING) is a director of the Umit Project, an Open Source
organization that develops network administration and monitoring tools. We
have one specific project we're working on currently, that have some
interesting technical challenges, which is the Open Monitor, which is a
real time world wide monitor on internet availability. Adriano has also
being a mentor on the Google Summer of Code program since 2007.

Location
--------
crowdSPRING
1200 W. Lake Street
Chicago, IL  60607

Lake and Racine
on the second floor
West Loop

About the group
---------------
ChiPy is made up of people of all levels of programming and Python
knowledge. At every meeting we have had both beginning programmers,
people who are just starting to use Python, as well as experienced
Python programmers. Don't be intimidated about coming to a meeting.

Note that ChiPy is not a formal organization. We collect no dues,
elect no officers, and keep no roster. Signing up for the mailing list
carries no obligation. Nor does showing up at the meetings. Nor, at
least so far, does anything else we have done, although we always
appreciate it when our presenters show up. (They usually do!)

Subject: [Chicago] Job Opening in the Loop
Message-ID: <CAML5DzL=82ksDxExSsnfauNd=iBf30MdOzNvq3FTE0OG3cFHcw@mail.gmail.com>

National Education Servicing is looking to hire a Web Developer to replace
me (due to promotion). The job entails supporting an old classic ASP
website while converting it piece by piece to shiny new Python code - an
on-going project that is only just now finally coming to fruition. This is
a full-time, permanent position - not a temp contract, there will always be
work to do after the conversion is done.

We're looking for someone comfortable with the whole stack - the OS
(Windows Server, Linux), web server (IIS, Apache), Database (SQL Server
2000, PostgreSQL), and the languages (ASP, VBScript, Python, some Java).

More details and contact information:

But seriously, as an actual, real-life unkempt person?vegan option would be
cool. But as a realistic vegan, I wouldn't impose fake cheese on anyone.
Tal, don't tell the others, please!

Hello All,

Since we are on the topic of food, I noticed the vegetarian pizza's
went well before the other food a few meetings ago.  Even though there
may only be a few vegetarians in the room, a lot of people like cheese
pizza.  From experience, I recommend that at least 1/3 of the food you
get be vegetarian compatible.  That might seem high, but even at 1/3,
I think you'll find that the vegetarian food will still disappear
before the other 2/3rds.

Thanks,
EJ

Food will be at the start of the meeting.

Also, if you have a fold up chair bring it up. I will also grab some
and we should have enough. Plenty of space just might be short a bit
on chairs if everyone shows up.

See you soon.

Mainly because we don't firm up the details until the last minute.
and once it is firm enough to put on the calendar,  I am generally out
of time to deal with it.  btw, it is just for meetings at ITA, right?

Some times I get our meetings posted to http://chicagotechcal.com - it
would help if I could figure out how to put it in iCal format.
Anyone up on that?   Here is the data I have to work with:

http://veyepar.nextdayvideo.com:8080/main/C/chipy/S/dec_2011.json

here is the code behind that:

https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/dj/main/views.py#L153

should be simple, right?

sorry Carl, last ical-generating lib I recall working with was a Java
creature called (I believe) ical4j.... IIRC it was a pain in the arse.

A little bit of googling let me to this package. It generates iCal files using python. API seems straight forward.

I eagerly await your pull request.

What other sort of response would you expect?

Of course... it's Java.

No module named dabo ... sounds like you didn't get dabo installed,
which is done here:

https://github.com/CarlFK/veyepar/blob/master/INSTALL.sh#L60

 60 # fix broken dabo installer
 61 # mv dabo/locale/ ./lib/python2.5/site-packages/dabo
 62 # mv ~/.virtualenvs/veyepar/dabo/locale/
~/.virtualenvs/veyepar/lib/python2.    6/site-packages/dabo
 63 cd $(python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib;
print get_py    thon_lib()")
 64 svn checkout http://svn.dabodev.com/dabo/trunk dabo-svn
 65 ln -s dabo-svn/dabo
 66 cd -

Another thing I don't have time for is fixing dabo's setup.py to work with pip.

installing dabo relied on apt-get install svn which failed due to also
trying to install sphinx2-bin, which is no longer maintained, so not
available for oneiric.  This isn't a problem, other than I had to
disable the audio unit test.

I updated the import to take a URL as a command line parameter, so now
this should work:

veyepar)carl at dc10:~/veyepar/dj/scripts$ python addeps.py --client
chipy --show dec2011
http://veyepar.nextdayvideo.com:8080/main/C/chipy/S/dec_2011.json

I am new to the Python community and looking to network with as many people as possible that specialize in web programming using Python and the Django framework.  My direct dial is 312-924-3683 and I am looking for any opportunities to meet people that work with this technology.

 

Looking forward to interesting conversations about the Python language and it's benefits/uses.

 

Thanks so much!

Food Genius is pretty rad. They are friendly folks and their Android (and
iOS?) app is a cool idea. Let's say you want to eat somewhere but you can't
think of where to go -- you open Food Genius and it tells you! You just
have to answer some questions to seed it with what you like and don't like.
I have definitely discovered a few nearby options I wouldn't have gone to
otherwise. I've only used it on Android.

Message-ID: <CAO3TogoO6sx_jitr1beXYe4auAxqx-s75EoHTY0eyrsx_bPD8w@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone!

I've been prodded by C'webber and Carl Karsten to volunteer to give a
talk about RepRaps and 3d printing.  While not strictly about Python,
most of the software I use is written in Python, so I could talk about
some of that.  And - of course - it would be obligatory for me to
bring in my RepRap and print something awesome while talking.

Question is, what do you want to hear about most?  There is a great
deal of depth involved in building and modifying a home-made 3d
printer.
For one, I could talk about all of the stuff I didn't know, and
venturing out into a reasonably difficult project with little
qualifications to do so an zero documentation - and all of the cool
stuff I discovered in the process.  Another thing, the device is
controlled by an Arduino which receives g-code commands from the
computer via a serial interface.  I'm sure there's some interesting
stuff going on in the firmware that I could dig up, or in how some of
the logic is implemented in hardware; and possible ways either of
these could be improved.  Or I could talk about the parts where python
is actually involved:  I use blender for modeling, SFACT - a huge
intimidating pile of python used for slicing 3d models and generating
commands to drive the printer; and pronterface - a printer interface,
also written in python.

Though, the only hacking I've done to any of these things is change a
maximum value for a tkinter widget in SFACT so that I could cheat on
my printer calibration.

Another, somewhat related bit, is I did write a 3d model slicing
program back in college.  It is a hideous combination of all sorts of
hacks and tape, and probably a great example of what not to do except
that it actually works quite well for what it is.  And I wrote it in
an afternoon.  I've been thinking of revisiting some of the (only)
good ideas in that approach and possibly writing my own g-code
generator.  If I were to discuss that, this would be primarily a talk
on using python and glsl in tandem to use the GPU to do awesome stuff
without really having to deal directly with the mathematics involved.

There is also a lot of interesting community related stuff going on
surrounding this newfangled 3d printing and open hardware thing.


So yeah, discuss.  What sort of stuff would you be interested in
hearing from me on this, if anything at all?

It is already a 4D printer, since it uses the fourth dimension to
sequentially put down layers.  I'm also a time traveler from the
1980's; though due to technical limitations, I can only travel
forwards in time.
</sargasm>

The benefit of waiting until February is then I'll have a chance to do
something reasonably substantial with the existing code base or start
prototyping some of my ideas.

That looks like a bit or work just to figure out how to use it.   The
guy that runs http://chicagotechcal.com asked for iCal.  As much as I
care, I care about other stuff more.  But I'll be happy to help
someone setup a dev environment.

In fact I could use some advice on how to make that easy - right now I
have install.sh that installs the system for production, but it is
pretty invasive:  like it appends lines to .bashrc to activate its
virtualenv.    my current thoughs are a dev can just cut/paste the
lines they need, but that seems less than ideal.

This is more an academic exploration on how projects in general should
be done.  Like is this good?
 http://wiki.mediagoblin.org/HackingHowto
Personally that looks like a lot of work to make *and test* a small
change.  Yeah, it's the test part that is a killer.    I wish we could
assume everyone would just bring up a
VM and run the invasive carp production install script.

Hi Paul!

I'm primarily a consultant and agile coach these days, but I still keep my hand in the python practices. Every once in a while we get to build something fun, and I use it extensively for automating build processes and generating metrics for teams. 

I've had several full-time python jobs in my past, and I love the language. 

Oak Brook is quite a haul for us extreme NWers, but I used to work for CSC Consulting there when I lived in Lisle so I remember the area somewhat.  Now that I'm in Round Lake Beach it's not real convenient to visit, but we could certainly be in touch virtually and maybe do some remote pair programming if you like.

What are you wanting to do with python? Maybe I could help you get started or share some fun tricks with you.

Class still on for tonight? If so, I'm still good to record it. Might 
still be able to do live, if there's Internet connectivity at the venue, 
but can't guarantee it yet; my encoding machine blew it's power supply

Message-ID: <CADmzSSioKZGGyDCJ6_aic0FxLaPfS8zFtk_GxCsKx1NBtoBnyw@mail.gmail.com>

I am wondering how many people decide to attend or not based on what
talks are scheduled?

For instance, I will attend even if something is scheduled that I am
sure I will  never use.  I always learn something, often in the
discussions between talks.

Some times I will forward the announcement to friends that don't do
PYthon but are interested in the domain, like maps, robots, etc.

I am assuming the same would apply to the Django group and wondering
if it is worth the trouble posting the planned talks or just the
time/place.   And this got me wondering the same thing about chipy
meetings.

I know for a fact some of my friends will come based on the topic. Some
people will come for the food and drink, and others, like us, the cool
kids, will come every time because it's been promised to be the best
meeting ever.

It depends. I like to go to ChiPy regardless of the topic. However, I often 
have conflicts in my schedule. When that is the case, my interest in the topics 
to be discussed decides how I resolve those conflicts.

Same here.

Whether or not the meeting is at Sully's is also a factor.

As do I. But since every ChiPy is the best ChiPy ever, it's not ever an
issue.

Once, (only once ;)  I went to a ChiPy meeting that I did not actually think was the best meeting ever.
Since then, I pay more attention to the topics, but really not that much.

Same here. Conflicts. Topics encourage me to try and make it to the meeting.

Meeting topics definitely mean a lot to me.  EG: last meeting when Tal
was talking about GObject-introspect, I knew I was planning to be in
town on Friday, but I knew I *had* to be in town for that particular
talk.

I attend based on the phase of the moon. Topics are a secondary
consideration.
Anything else is not relevant.

Subject: [Chicago] PyCon 2012 News - Tutorials, Talks, and Tickets
Message-ID: <4EF3E1CD.4060108@python.org>

We are now 75 days away from PyCon 2012 in Santa Clara ? it's hard to think about how quickly time has flown since PyCon 2011! We've lined up some great keynote and plenary speakers, announced the tutorial and talk selections, opened ticket sales, and have expanded financial aid opportunities. The community and our amazing array of sponsors have helped us break several records already, so we hope you're as excited about PyCon 2012 as we are. The conference runs March 7-15 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

The keynote speakers include Y Combinator investor Paul Graham and Mozilla's Head of Developer Engagement, Stormy Peters. Both of them bring interesting experience to the table, and they're both captivating speakers. Speaking of captivating, Dave Beazley was announced on the plenary track, with more to be added in the coming weeks. Guido ? our Benevolent Dictator For Life ? will also be joining the line up!

With 483 tutorial, talk, and poster proposals submitted this year, the program committee had their hands full paring that list down to 95 talks, 32 tutorials, and 36 posters (which we're still accepting). In the little time since we made these announcements we've heard a lot of excitement. You can see the tutorial selections at https://us.pycon.org/2012/schedule/lists/tutorials/, with talks available at https://us.pycon.org/2012/schedule/lists/talks/.

Tickets are now available with early bird rates available until January 10, 2012 at https://us.pycon.org/2012/registration. Tutorial and admission prices continue unchanged; if you've been following along the last few years, these rates are the same as they have been for several years. Our team's dedication to keeping PyCon cost-effective, community driven, and grassroots continues thanks to the hard work and support of the team and sponsors (https://us.pycon.org/2012/sponsors/).

If financial assistance would make PyCon a possibility for you, we encourage you to apply to this year's expanded assistance program. With a deadline of January 7, 2012 (extended from January 2) and a new web-based application, the financial aid committee aims to make the trip, lodging, and a ticket a possibility for everyone. Thanks to a new partnership with the PyLadies organization, we're able to provide grants to women in the community who are interested in experiencing the conference. For full details see https://us.pycon.org/2012/assistance.

For more information about PyCon 2012, see our site at https://us.pycon.org/2012/. We also publish news on our blog: http://pycon.blogspot.com/.

Subject: [Chicago] Cool Chicago Startup (Food Genius) looking for Python
	Developer
Message-ID: <9DDE7FB54347814AA090C027F9D22A0C1E3070C1@bushexmb03.gsb.uchicago.edu>

Hi Everyone,

Chicago startup Food Genius is looking for a full-time Python developer.  The work seems really interesting and it's a good opportunity to join a cool startup at a critical (early) stage.  See below for details.  Please feel free to forward.

--------------------

Food Genius is seeking a full-time Senior Python Developer to join our team. This position will hold primary responsibility for ingesting and normalizing large volumes of food-related data and will be deeply involved in the day-to-day programming challenges at Food Genius.

About You:
You?re passionate about elegant code and delicious food. You enjoy working in a fast-paced, high-expectations environment and are comfortable with the risk and uncertainty that is part of any technology-based startup. You love working with both structured and unstructured data; scraping and parsing plain text into linked and relational data sounds like a fun way to spend an afternoon. You hate being micro-managed and have the initiative to work aggressively towards a goal.

The ideal candidate will have all of the following experiences / attributes:

  *   Experience with multiple technologies, languages and systems including highly available data systems and API and service-based architecture;
  *   Self-motivated, organized and accountable;
  *   Heaps of experience with Python, including web frameworks like Django;
  *   Expertise with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, and familiarity with NoSQL databases like MongoDB;
  *   Familiarity with operations, system administration and monitoring, including cloud-based services like AWS and Rackspace Cloud Servers;
  *   Experience with the tools we use like Fabric, Apache, RabbitMQ, Memcached, Redis, Hive/Hadoop;
  *   The ability to multi-task and work efficiently under pressure with careful attention to detail; and
  *   The ability to work with a diverse set of stakeholders (coworkers, clients, investors, and the mentors) to complete a project.


About Us:
Food Genius is a dining-out data company, providing the food industry with actionable, real-time data on emerging trends and app developers with access to the web?s largest database of restaurants and their dishes. By tracking more than 14.3m restaurant menu items and how consumers interact with them, Food Genius leverages the social web to generate high quality and incredibly granular data for an array of commercial and consumer uses.

We built Food Genius to solve two problems. First, nearly every food discovery app or website suggests a restaurant, not a dish. Even worse, restaurant review websites are becoming less and less useful over time; nearly all user generated ratings descend into 3-star averages and text reviews lack context. Secondly, the food industry lacks quality data. Consumers spend more than $600b/year dining out, but there is virtually no longitudinal data on their behavior.

Food Genius is on a mission to help everyone love what they eat. For developers, Food Genius offers a best-in-class API with friendly data licensing terms. Apps can access data on more than 600,000 US restaurants, more than 200,000 full menus, and taste-based dish or restaurant suggestions. For the food industry, our data is the perfect platform for new product development, marketing strategy, and demand projections.

Founded in 2010, Food Genius is a graduate of Excelerate Labs (www.exceleratelabs.com<http://www.exceleratelabs.com/>) and we are currently a ?startup in residence? in IDEO?s Chicago studio.

How to Apply:
If this sounds like your kind of gig, please email a cover letter, your resume / work history, and your GitHub profile to Justin at getfoodgenius.com<http://getfoodgenius.com/>. We?re looking for someone to start ASAP.

I attend to get to know people so the talks are just an added inducement
to come. However listening to some talks that I never thought I had an
interest in has taught me a lot and keeps me up to date with ideas and
technologies. Sometimes I come just to see the inside of the place
hosting the event, or to buy some of what they are selling (e.g.
Sully's).

And on that subject: where can we meet?

To add my $.02, I'd wager that the talk topics are very helpful for convincing first-time attendees to join us...

Also, long-time, no ChiPy for me, so, um... hi.
