I'm offended by the "fork" reference in the lower right.

Is there a process to handle complaints by the ChiPy Board? I think it's
important to make sure that Jordan's concerns are addressed in a manner
that provides him enough security that he doesn't feel minimized.

Please don't joke about this.

The people who have taken it upon themselves to deal with these issues do
not have the luxury to figure out if someone is joking.  The should take
every instance seriously.  "are you sure?" and "are you joking?" are not
anything they should be considering.

I'm not joking. Discrimination based on language and accent was a research
focus of my mine during my college days at Columbia University.

One of my professors Franklin Odo who retired as the curator of the
Smithsonian's Asian American and Pacific Islander collection introduced me
to the works of his friend Mari Matsuda.

Mari's brilliant Yale Law Review article on accent discrimination recounted
a Filipino man who'd applied at the Hawaii DMV for a job and was turned
down for lack of English fluency. Turned out he was perfectly fluent. In
fact the linguist hired as a witness for his court case noted that out of
defending counsel, plaintiff's counsel, and the presiding judge, and
everybody else that spoke in the court, only the plaintiff spoke without
grammatical errors.

He was discriminated against for speaking American wrong. Mind you the
interviewers were Japanese American. Mari omitted this in her article. My
professor confided this fact to us, and shared that he found it very
interesting she decided to omit this piece in her essay.

Language is very important to me. I'm not going to minimize Jerome's
offense at the word fork. I don't understand it, but I respect his right to
not feel minimized.

Here's a link to Mari Matsuda's articles on JSTOR.

For starters, I?d suggest that the organizers establish a system where those who do have complaints have a way to air them off list, so that they don?t turn into a volley of yeah/me-too/you?re-too-sensitive/shut-up/unsubscribe-me-from-the-list noise.

Subject: [Chicago] Anyone want an APC server rack?
Message-ID: <CAJ_3hfoN5dCCWBWUJa7PMMfThhvgZczoMajq18x78F-8HtoAnA@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings ChiPy,

We have an APC AR500 NetShelter Standard enclosure that we are looking
to get rid of.  Before it hits Craig's List, I thought I'd offer it to
ChiPy list members.  Particulars include:

- FREE, but you have to come get it from our 2nd floor walk-up office
(it weighs 274 lbs.)
- 40U (70") storage height for 19" rack-mount equipment
- Fully ventilated doors and roof
- Front and rear door locks
- Quick-release side panels with locks
- Cable access on the roof, bottom, and rear
- Adjustable leveling feet
- Adjustable vertical mounting rails
- Ample clearance for wiring between front door and mounting rails
- Quick-release reversible front and rear doors
- 76.4" x 24" x 34.4"

Anyone interested, just call the office (773-275-9144) and ask for
Jenn.  It hits Craig's List later this week.

Brian

To address an issue off-list, get in contact either with Cezar (as mailing
list admin) or any of the organizers. We'll make sure the issue is
addressed.

For those going to Pycon, Heroku is "raffling" off $500 in credit. If some
people could throw Chipy into the hat that would be awesome. We use Heroku
for the site and $500 in credit would go a long way.

"While you are in our booth, you can enter to win $500 (in cash or credits)
toward the open source-related project, user group, meetup, or organization
of your choice. Ask at the booth for details."

I'd bet Heroku would donate to ChiPy. 

I'm launching PuPy in Seattle/Bellevue. If nobody objects I'm happy to ask Heroku for a donation for both parties.

I think they provide discounts. We just started actually paying (the db got
big enough) so I haven't looked into it yet.

Bellingham is Canada South. The Vancouver Python group is solid. 

I like Jim Straatman of Logos a lot. Logos is Hq'ed in B'ham. He handled a heckler at the PyCon Night at Seattle Tech Meetup with class.

Hey Don,
I am more than happy to volunteer if you need help setting up PuPy. ?I work in a python environment and am (attempting) to learn python in my spare time so getting involved in PuPy in a volunteer/admin aspect would be beneficial for me!
Best regards,

Brian

Hello,

This is a very embarrassing "baby" Python question.  But a Python coding
friend of mine in AZ won't be able for consulting until over a month from
now.

To summarize the garbled message below,  would appreciate knowing
how to modify the attached testword1.py code so that it can both recognize
input unicode characters  a n d  output them correctly in a UTF-8 encoded
file.  As it stands:  n o  Cyrillic characters are recognized, only some
Greek
characters are, and Latin-1 accented characters are mostly (but not  a l l)
recognized.

Hello,

The contact form only goes to a few Chipy organizers. To answer your
question, you?ll probably want to post to our mailing list. You can find a
link to it on our homepage.

Thanks!

Hi,

A friend of mine has been writing some Python code for me to
&quot;massage&quot; output files from a stat. program we&#39;re
maintaining. The issue is what lines to add to several Python programs so
that they blow don&#39;t up when encountering unicode characters. I&#39;m
aware of the pieces of the required code to specify that an input file is
UTF-8 encoded. B u t , I&#39;m not a Python programmer myself. And my
friend won&#39;t be available to help me until mid-May at the soonest.
Could someone contact about a solution? THANKS. Bob Dean, Chicago

This should work, although I didn't test it. ISO-8859-5 is Cyrillic. If
you want to work with Latin1 you'll have to change it to ISO-8859-1:


import os, sys, string, math, re, shutil, codecs

f= open('testfile.txt', 'w', encoding='utf-8')

inword = input("\nEnter the word to test:  ")
inword = inword.decode("iso-8859-5")

print("=========================\n")
if inword == "":
	print("\nYou just hit return; not a word\n")
else:
	print("\nYour word was "+inword+"\n")
	
f.write(inword)
f.close

endit = input("\nType enter to exit program")

Along those lines does anyone who remembers shareware remember the name of

Awesome Brian! So far Avilay Parekh and Ritwik Tewari founders of Informion
who pitched at my PyCon Pitch Event at Twitter HQ are going to help run
Eastside meetings. They're formerly of Azure. Avilay and Ritwik helped
launch Azure and build it up into a billion dollar category for Microsoft.

We've got a pledge from AMD to donate a Seamicro 384 Atom. Joseph Curtin a
ChiPy member is going to help manage it. We'll figure out how to give ChiPy
members access to this bad girl with 768 cores in the size of a mini
fridge.

I've been spending a lot of time in Seattle, renting a place in South Lake
Union. Let's meet soon.

What is the threshold for big?

I have a feeling it will be easier to trim the db down.

10000 total rows. That's a really low limit, I don't think it is worth it
to save 9 dollars a month.

I bet the PSF will cover it, but yeah, ask Heroku first. - one less thing
for the PSF to deal with, and Heroku has people paid to deal with this.

I am still curious what table has more than a few 100 rows.  the django
admin history maybe?

Jordan's code used input() to accept the word, but you probably want to use
raw_input().  The former runs eval() on the word you entered.  It's a weird
user input quirk in python.

Also, I don't believe you can really enter "unicode" characters.  You'll
enter unicode code points encoded in UTF-8 or Latin-1 or whatever your
system is providing.  That gets decoded from the system encoding, and then
re-encoded into UTF-8 (or whatever you specify) when you write the file.

To clarify, I didn't use input, the original poster did. I just added
the "decode".

Subject: [Chicago] Open Source Comes to Campus Event at NEIU
Message-ID: <CAC4QDKjxe2fzDXGD=AgKGAz8gNzTW5jXW+TBHC9zHeVTPxCV5g@mail.gmail.com>

My name is Meg Ford and a CS student at NEIU.  I'm working with
OpenHatch<http://openhatch.org/>
 and *NEIU's* Computer Science Society to throw an event introducing
Chicago-area students to free and open source software.  It's a chance for
attendees to learn about the tools open source projects use, to contribute
to active projects, and to meet other students in the Chicago area who are
interested in free software.

The event is on Saturday, April 26th.  Our hosts at NEIU have graciously
opened their doors to students throughout the area, and I thought
students might
like to attend.

If you're interested, please send the publicity email below to the relevant
lists. If you do, please CC hello at openhatch.org

Best,
Meg

***

On April 26th 2014, *OpenHatch* and the Computer Science Society are
inviting you to a day--long open source software immersion event.

In the morning, *open source contributors* from various projects will teach
you about open source licensing, collaboration tools, and how free software
projects are organized. In the afternoon, they'll help you make
contributions to open source projects. And throughout the day, they'll feed
you, get to know you, and talk with you about opportunities for students in
open source.

Open source software - software that is shared freely and available to
build upon - is a great way to apply your programming skills to real--world
projects and social causes. This event specially welcomes newcomers to that
style of development, and the day begins with teaching workshops that
anyone can follow.

Open source participation is one way to gain real--world skills and make
connections that will last you through your career. Volunteer staff will
include professionals and academics who use open source daily.

This event is open to all students, but *space is limited*.
All participants are required to register here
http://chicago.openhatch.org/#signup.

*Register as soon as possible to save your seat!*

Hope to see you there.

I am not using any. Perhaps I should have used #web2pyconference
The problem is that we reached room capacity (75) before we did any advertisement so we did not advertise much. :-(
Today I heard I can get a bigger room so I reopened registration but we have already ordered food and mugs.
I can get the next 10-15 people in more in but no more.

maybe a shorter hashtag during the conference so that people are able to
say more. #web2pychi maybe but even that is a bit lengthy.

I think #web2py is probably the best option. Thanks for the advice.

I wouldn't mind a +1 on that too -- also, I finally caught up with Jessica
McKellar's keynote (had slept through it and only got in when Fernando
started) and it is amazingly inspirational. And she has action items for
local groups so I will definitely be pursuing these for project nights or
office hours and wouldn't mind if people could help by introducing k12
teachers to us.

Doesn't look 'really messy' to me :)

I can thinking of a couple alternate modules that would help keep it clean:

1) Might want to:

from math import radians


2) also, I would consider using everyone's favorite module requests:
http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/

$ pip install requests

Fuzzy brain hopes I can remember to look at this next time I get around to
hacking on it.  Is requests backward compatible?  I had the idea it was 3.0
forward.  I also had a google maps display for it working but took it out
because open worked just fine but could not close the windows from python.

Hi all, Would it be appropriate to discuss a talk I want to give at the next meeting on the list, before I sign up? ?I always expect someone to sign up a little earlier than they do. ?If you recall, I talked in January.

The idea this time is an IRC Bot. ?The bot itself doesn't do anything much, but the implementation is neat in a couple of ways.

http://home.comcast.net/~castironpi-misc/irc-0138%20irc%20bot.py


Or I didn't get around to some other topics I suggested, if anyone would prefer those.
