From eric at intellovations.com Tue Jul 1 17:24:08 2014 From: eric at intellovations.com (Eric Floehr) Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2014 11:24:08 -0400 Subject: [Chicago] PyOhio 2014 Schedule and Registration Deadline Message-ID: PyOhio 2014 is July 26-27 at the Ohio State University Student Union. The schedule is posted at http://www.pyohio.org/schedule/ We would love to see you there! If you are coming, you'll need to register at http://pyohio2014.eventbrite.com Registration is free, but if you'd like to order a t-shirt, please note that the deadline for doing so is July 6th. There will be extremely limited conference day t-shirts available for sale, so please order now if you want one. They are really sharp, and your purchase helps PyOhio! As always, PyOhio is committed to providing a free conference and free video afterwards so that all may benefit from the conference. However, PyOhio costs between $60-$80 per attendee to put on. Costs include venue, food, video of all talks and tutorials posted for free (another way we help), programs, etc. Our sponsors cover much of that cost, so please thank (and frequent) our sponsors New Relic, Eventbrite, Caktus Group, Olah Healthcare, Github, Waypaver, CoverMyMeds, Intellovations, WingWare, Red Hat, Finite Loop Software, BABL Media, and O'Reilly Books. Please also thank the Python Software Foundation for providing a grant to help us put on two PyKids camps and help defray the cost of video production. However, we still need help. If you have benefited from PyOhio and have the means, please consider a voluntary donation to PyOhio (you can do this when you register for PyOhio), or volunteering your time to help during the conference (we need lots of help!). Also, please talk to your employer about becoming a PyOhio sponsor in 2015. We look forward to seeing you at PyOhio this year! It's going to be great! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Luciano will tell us about the Pingo project in progress at Garoa HC ( http://www.pingo.io/docs/intro.html). Pingo aims to make interconnecting small controllers of all sorts easy and transparent, so that they can use each other's peripherals. An example use case would be using Python on a Beagle (or similar) to effectively "program" one or more attached Arduinos. >From the website: "Pingo provides a uniform API to program devices like the Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black, pcDuino etc. just like the Python DBAPI provides an uniform API for database programming in Python. The API is object-oriented but easy to use: a board is an instance of a Board subclass. Every board has a dictionary called pins which lists all GPIO pins on the board. Each pin is an instance of a Pin subclass with attributes that you can inspect to learn about its capabilities."

Here's a link to Illinois' award, http://www.aspirations.org/aspirations-community/illinois I'd imagine Brian Fitzpatrick may be able to track down some resources from Google. I hope Google's *Made with Code *initiative is investing heavily in Chicago. Seattle as a city is aggressively trying to address gender and minority representation in tech. The City appointed Rebecca Lovell a woman as the official city Startup liaison. It'd be great to see Mayor Emanuel take a similar step in encouraging women and minorities in tech.

In-Reply-To: References: <120C8937-461E-4303-A66B-BE18F343AE1D@germuska.com> Message-ID: OK then, my thinking is sometimes we are like the Star Trek or maybe Twilight or Weird episode were beings were moving so fast that the crew just heard buzzing. Then again maybe we are trying to heard cats or turn the tide and momentum of a mighty river. In the meanwhile a while is longer for some than for others. For me though I cut and pasted some working code into the program, highlighted a variable and got nowhere. The little example did work though. Is that what was supposed to happen? I tend to think this sandbox idea of quickly getting code into a mockup UI is a good one. Also Cobra, Vagrant, Sculpt, CodeSkulptor and a Github IDE I think are good ideas. http://opengovhacknight.org/events/2014/06/03/englewood-codes-north-central-college-and-github.html Having a Python committed team with time and money to build and maintain all of these good ideas and have them work with each other I also think is a good idea. Not sure I have any good idea how to make that happen though.
