I am sure none of you care too much ;) However, I wanted to fill you in
that we have contracted an artist to redo our ChiPy logo. Here are some
examples of her work:

http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.201909199853422.55299.100001030304307&type=32
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.106377829406560.3783.100001030304307&type=3

... pretty clever stuff, in my opinion.

This contact was made at PyCon and I will fill you all in as the art
progresses. This is also something to keep in mind if your working on the
next version of the chipy.org site.

Also, a reminder, we must get the github issue complete for Carl or he will
go on strike. Seriously!  If no takers by this weekend I will take care of
it; however, I will probably not have it in production in time for our next
meeting.

I'll look into it. I've done work with Carl and his system before. Besides,
I owe him some work.

So, I'm assuming the Chipy site is just a plain Django system?

I never heard back until now that I was a 'go' for speaking, so yeah,
I have nothing prepared outside of the Windows stuff I talked about at
PyCon. I'll try to write something up tonight...

Yeah, I sort of sprung that on you, surprise! Anyway, I can help cover some
stuff or we can JIT compile under the pair programming agile-ness groove
again.

To follow up on Julie's post, this will be very much a beginner's
introduction - we're aiming at people who have some Python knowledge, but
have never done a Django app (or maybe even a web app) before. The
application will be pretty simple - really just a way to see how the basics
work.

So if you know of anyone who wants a very gentle introduction to Django,
send them our way. Any questions about course content can come to me, while
questions about course mechanics, schedule, location, etc. should go to
Julie.

Thanks!
Vern Ceder

I can't believe it's been more than six months since we hosted ChiPy at
crowdSPRING! Time sure does fly. We'll plan to host again in 2012.

crowdSPRING is looking to grow our team and looking to hire two more full
time engineers (a senior back end and a front end). We're a Python/Django
team. Would prefer someone in Chicago but we're also cool with
telecommuting. Want to come have fun with us? Details here:

yeah, oops. I thought it was obvious. I should have preferred explicit

Happy birthday Carl.

Thanks for the heads up, Sheila. I will approach Carl off the list and see
if he could clone himself quickly. We already have 40+ RSVP, I so I am
pretty sure we are going to give Groupon some badly needed love on Thursday.

Sheila hasn't actually said that it's Carl's birthday on Thursday, but I
wish him a happy birthday nonetheless, as well as the person who's birthday
is Thursday.

Carl, if it's your birthday on Thursday I'm gonna need one of those back.

Check out this contribution in anti-social web:

   http://threemice.net

Not practical as a mentorship program at this time; however, it is (and
will continue to be) written in Python. It will also help eliminate my side
job of being a go to person for Python jobs, I hope :) Please fill out the
form so we will keep in touch off this list. Potential mentorship program
people, fill out the form and we will keep our eyes out for a different
effort. I am also certain there will be some open source contributions but
not the project itself. It was becoming too costly and time consuming to be
a good mentorship program. Good news is there are a TON of
people interested in using this technology in Chicago to help them find
Tech jobs or Tech people to work in jobs. There are also some
very highly visible HR experts who are participating which is good. Does
that mean Head hunters will stop coming to meetings and posting to this,
list? Probably not; however, at least this will provide one place to point
them.

With that said, we will have a mentorship program after we fix our website
and make it slick. See you all tomorrow night at Groupon.com for our best
meeting ever.

Subject: [Chicago] Python Developer Job Opportunity
Message-ID: <4F887B66.10801@wiredtree.com>

Hello,

My name is Adam DeBuysscher and I am hiring manager at WiredTree. We are 
a fast growing web hosting company looking for a Python developer to 
bolster our development team in down-town Chicago. If you have any 
questions, please feel free email me and I will be happy to address 
them. A link to apply is in the job summary below.

Thanks!

Adam DeBuysscher
WiredTree
-----*

WiredTree* - www.wiredtree.com <http://www.wiredtree.com> - is looking 
for full-time Python Developer to join our team in our downtown Chicago 
offices. We are a young, fast growing managed hosting company who 
provides a variety of solutions from virtual private/cloud servers to 
dedicated servers to complex clusters for clients worldwide. We have a 
very strong focus on providing fast, accurate, and personal customer 
service.

*We're looking for a rock solid Python developer that knows the ins and  
outs of the language in a web application environment and has a strong 
background in Linux. *If you live out of a shell and use VIM as your 
IDE, this is going to be your dream job. The position is primarily 
development position, but you should have a firm understanding of Linux 
as much of the work we do involves automation and integrating software 
systems within this OS. A strong systems administration and devops 
experience is a plus. If you booted off a Linux Live CD once, you're 
probably not the person we're looking for. You should also have a solid 
understanding of developing web applications using Python.


*What development experience should you have?*

  *    Primarily we are looking for someone with strong Python
    development skills as well as web application experience.

/Submitting example code from a  previous project or work on an open 
source project would be a great way to set yourself ahead the pack!/

*What will you be doing?* Your primary role will be the maintenance and 
development of client facing and backend automation systems. Our primary 
goal is to allow our customers to more easy administer and control their 
systems. This often  includes adding functionality to our Grove customer 
portal to allow the client to have greater control over their server 
without having to understand Linux Administration. We also spend a large 
amount of time automating common administration process  to make tasks 
much faster for our own support staff.

***I want to apply!* Great! Please click the URL below and fill out our 
online resume form.  Include your resume and cover letter that details 
out your experience as a python developer.

Apply for the WiredTree Python Developer position here! 
<http://wiredtree.theresumator.com/apply/seZPE9/Python-Developer.html>

Please do not email your resume and cover letter.  Use the URL above!

Damn! You folks sure can go through pizza! I was afraid I had ordered
too much. You proved me quite wrong. 

Note to future hosts: There is no such thing as too much pizza!

It was the best meeting ever!

Groupon will be hosting another python related event next week:

http://geekfest.gathers.us/events/geekfest-lessons-learned-from-adding-pjax-support-to-django

Last I looked, there is still one seat open.

Word from our sponsor:

Groupon is a strong supporter of Open Source, and not just the open
source technologies we happen to be using. If you are interested in
joining our merry crew, check out www.groupon.com/jobs, or contact me,
kstox at groupon.com.

Personal note:

It was indeed a great pleasure to host you all once again. We truly have
the finest user group in Chicago!

Final note:

My best wishes to Brian Ray and the success of 1871. We look forward to
our first meeting at his cool new digs at the Mart!

Ken, Thanks for hosting GroupOn! The Piece Pizza was perfect.

I really heard a lot of positive feedback this time. The turn out was great
(a full house) and I think we just might have some repeat offenders next
time.

I also want to thank those who presented and contributed to the
discussions.

I am working on this. It may not happen next month but it still may (soon
regardless). We do have some other hosting open offers, so no worries it
will be the best meeting ever.

Date: Saturday, April 28, 2012

Space is limited ?.... ?Please reserve your space now!!!


Please send me a RSVP to clcllinuxclub at gmail.com if you are planning
on coming.

If you RSVP and can't make it, please email to un-RSVP as space is
limited and someone else can use it.

Moving away from something that's derivative of O'Reilly's aesthetic is,
overall, a good thing.  ChiPy should have its own image.  I like the look
of this artist's work and the new logo feels more original.  +1

I hear 'chippy' too. But if it was usenet and this was in the chi.*
groups heirarchy I would hear 'shy pie'. But it's now chippy, like
chipmonk.

For new logo art, you should have some of the same style with
different aspect ratios, and different pieces of the picture so that
you can use that in other places where you need squares and different
shapes.

While I hear 1 most often, 2 makes the most sense to me and is usually what I 
end up saying if I don't remember to correct myself. Chi-town is Shy-town, and 
Python is Pie-thon; so, why not Shy-Pie?

It almost works as is at 100px wide.  Maybe with slightly bolder lines
around the chipmunk it would scale fine.

-1 for a logo

Simplify it, vector it, tweak it and it's a logo.  Right now it's an
illustration.  A great illustration, but still an illustration.

Would be very good as a T-shirt, or sticker.

Full disclaimer: I've been pretty quiet for a long time, so my vote may
not count as much as it used to.

The official pronunciation is chippy, so sayeth the progenetor:

Chris McAvoy, circa 5/10/04: 
"The only thing I'd really like to hold on to, as the guy who started
the mailing list, is the right to decide how we pronounce chipy
(chippy), and the chippy graphic.  Other then that, it's fair game."

That's not to say it couldn't be changed (since we are discussing
changing the graphic, too). 

As for the new graphic, I'm +0.  It's not bad, but I don't think it's
better than what we have now.

FWIW I believe it's Asheesh Laroia who is actually the head of OpenHatch.
 In any event, we just had an event with them on my campus this weekend
that went really well.  Were I actually in Chicago I'd hapilly volunteer to
help put something together.

I was concerned that it would not scale or translate into black and
white.  So I made SVG an version in inkscape and a B&W version in gimp
that I then autotraced in inkscape.  I actually think I like the color
SVG version a little better than the original.  So +1 for the logo
change.

The sizes of the files are: original 127.3 KB, color svg 108.3 KB (could
probably be halved if the autotraced nodes were hand edited), Black &
white png 22.8 KB, Black & white svg 11.9 KB.  Showing that SVG is an
efficient format even if it is XML.

Ok, in black and white, the letters don't look the best and it moves
me from 0 to -1 as a logo.

I am -1 this as a logo and 0 to +1 as a sticker.

I think you could get a better result with the color autotrace if you
tweaked some settings a little; maybe allow a few more colors to smooth the
gradients out some, (or less to get the blue/yellow to render as a single
color) and fiddle with the minimum region sizes to get rid of some of the
jaggy edges.


This is Brantley's point though: this is a very lovely illustration, but
it's not really a logo until someone makes some nice vectors.

Good news.  My DRW Trading (http://www.drwtrading.com/) has confirmed that
they can host the May Meeting.  Here are some details about the space.

* Max capacity is 362 people.
* They have a projector and screen for the meeting space.
* WiFi is provided in the meeting space.
* They will sponsor food and beverages.

This isn't their proper office, per-se, but a nice meeting space provided
by the building they work in.

Unless someone objects, let's meet there for May. Any objections?

Message-ID: <CAPaL0Y3xC5MJ3az8bm_UpkiRjV8na7Jfn1eDvCW5M2OdK32vZw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

My younger brother is a bit of a hermit, but has a bachelor's in CS and
another in physics and is an amazing C programmer and mathematician.  He's
finally realized that his dead end job is, well, dead end, but he's been
out of school for a few years and doesn't really know where to start.  He's
done extensive work in C and assembly, and has a serious talent for working
with embedded systems.  His typical idea of a fun Friday night is analyzing
the hex representation of the live memory of SNES emulators to track down
sprite movement routines, and he's actually written a few games that run on
the original Super Nintendo hardware from custom-hacked cartridges.  I know
we're a Python group, but we're also all coders, and I have no doubt that
people involved with ChiPy will either be really interested in this sort of
thing or know someone who is.  Does anyone have suggestions for my little
bro?

Thanks very much for any responses this might illicit,

Ben Trofatter

I agree.
+1 on the logo idea, but it needs to be vectorized to give it the "feel" of a logo (and SVGs are awesome).

I like Phil's SVG tracing as a starting point, but I think it needs a little more work.
I'd suggest that the lettering, the laptop, and maybe the glasses be redrawn as crisp vector art to get a logo feel.
I'm pretty good with Inkscape too -- but no time right now.

(this is the coolest bikeshedding thread ever because I like illustrations)

No way, if we are paying someone to make logos they should do all the
work. And that illustrated text does not make a typeface that I like
(which I really noticed when it was rendered in black and white).
Drawn typeface, not so bad. Crisp, ugh.

Thanks for the correction. That's an oops.

I thought you were in Chicago? What happened?

Since chipy has a pool of sponsor money(?), I'd like to propose that
we spend it on things like inviting people to come give talks and do
workshops like this. We could use the money to pay for travel and
lodging. Did you run a workshop? We should invite you, Asheesh,
Jessica, etc. here.

Chicago is my home, but I'm at school in upstate new york most of the year.

Here we had a 2 day event, the first was an "introduction to contributing
to open source" day, where we taught people about IRC, the command line,
git, mailing lists, etc.  The second day was basically getting people to
write a real patch and get it committed to a real project..

There's also a grant[0] which Jessica's group in Boston is working off
of for exactly this type of thing, but I don't remember where they're
at in terms of using up the funding. They helped put on an event in
Philly and were recently a part of the meetup in Indianapolis. You'd
have to flesh out more of the details of this event to see that it's
in line with what the grant was awarded for, but it's something to
keep in mind.

Additionally, this could also fall under the umbrella of the PSF
Sprints committee, thus available for up to $300 reimbursement.

I half agree with this, but how much should we be spending on a logo?
Seems like an odd thing to be spending any money on.

The answer to "how much" should be some integers with a dollar sign in
front of them.  The last time I asked a question like this I got lots
of replies, but no answer to my question.

Personally I like the old logo, but I don't really care one way or the
other.  this problem is right up there with picking the font for
chipy.org - don't care at all.

I agree completely with all parts of this statement. I don't have any
experience commissioning logos, so I don't know what the going rate is, but
my gut tells me it should be less than $500.

As much as I like, appreciate, and applaud the artwork presented, I
have to say I don't think it's a great use of ChiPy's limited funds to
spend on artwork. At least in the Python world, I can't think of any
groups who even have an *old* mascot/logo let alone a new one, and
outside of one group I'm not aware of any that have greater than $0
associated with their group.

That's not to say I don't think the artist could be rewarded, but I'd
have to know more about the money behind the scenes and an estimate of
the cost before throwing a real number out.

You'd be very surprised what a logo and an consistent look and feel could
do for the perception of a group or company.

Image is important.

ChiPy funds are not being used, I am commissioning her for some other work
outside of ChiPy so I thought it would be nice to see how this one goes
first.

I have been listening to all the feedback and I do appreciate everything.
It sounds like we are very much on the fence and might be bike shedding a
bit.

Perhaps we can start with use of it as a splash page and tee shirt?

Just a side note on the artist, she is a watercolorist which means we have
not much of  a chance to get a vector out of her.  I would love it if
someone presented one that was accurate and used smooth gradients and such.
But back to the artist, her husband (bf?) is a Python programmer and there
just seems to be something earthy/clever/cute about her works. Again, I
guess it does not matter what color we paint the shed and we should focus
on the shed itself.

Nonetheless, the logo is just something fun and we should probably spend
efforts talking about our next venu option (which is really more exciting)
and all the topics regarding the Ultimate Language Shootout III. See the
other threads for that.

Cheers and thanks everyone!

I'd definitely buy a t-shirt with that logo on it.

As the presenter, let me repost Julie's announcement with the correct email
address... Yes, we still do have a few open slots for Saturday's Intro to
Django.

This is intended for people who are new to Django and even new to web
applications. We'll spend the time building a very simple app, taking time
to explain the basic concepts as we go. So if you or anyone you know is
interested, please let Julie know at the new improved address below or
email me and I'll pass it along.

Thanks!
Vern
----------------------------------
We are having a 3 hour Seminar on Using Django for creating a Web-Site.

We are planning of doing a hands-on creating of a web-site using Django.
This will be very much a beginner's introduction - we're aiming at people
who have some Python knowledge, but have never done a Django app (or maybe
even a web app) before. The application will be pretty simple - really just
a way to see how the basics work.

It will be at the College of Lake County
Grayslake Campus

Room: T238

Time: 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Date: Saturday, April 28, 2012

Presenter: Vern Ceder

Cost:
Current CLC Students - Free
Non-CLC Student - requesting a $5.00 donation.

Space is limited  ....  Please reserve your space now!!!

Please send me a RSVP to clclinuxclub at gmail.com <clcllinuxclub at gmail.com> if
you are planning
on coming.

If you RSVP and can't make it, please email to un-RSVP as space is
limited and someone else can use it.

Email me with Questions!

That is a great question. Well, it will be in place of one of our regularly
scheduled meetings so I imagine it will either at May's meeting
(DRWTrading, as long as they do not mind a language shoot out) or
June's
(1871).  Who wants this next month and who wants it the following (raise of
hands)?

RULES:

There will be a cash prize (bigger than last time) for the best
presentation voted on by the audience. Each attempt will be timed and must
cover an unique language not covered by any other participant. There must
be at least one comparison within those 5 minutes. Reminder: The audience
will vote on how the interesting and well delivered the talk was--not
necessarily the language covered in the talk.
