Please let me know if you have any recommendation. Hi, Billy. Haven't seen you since Camp 5. Suggestions have been to use an intermediate format and convert to RTF with external libraries (html2rtf, xml2rtf, tex2rdf). If it's any consolation, the Ruby, PHP, Perl, and Tcl modules which deal with RTF are about in the same state as PyRDF. So there must be some wall developers run into when trying to implement an RTF module from scratch. Plus, M$ keeps changing the RTF spec. Also, not all RTF editors can read the full RTF spec. So if the problem is your RTF writer is making some document which cannot be read into Wordpad, that may be why. The PyRTF developer has a blog that is active: http://oubiwann.blogspot.com/ Maybe ping him if there is something you are stuck on. I think he's the guy who made the keynote announcement about the new Twisted Software Foundation at PyCon. You probably want to get this: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/rtfpg/ I guess I should request it from O'Reilly for a door prize. :) -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://www.secoora.org office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From saelim at email.unc.edu Tue Apr 1 02:38:25 2008 From: saelim at email.unc.edu (Billy Saelim) Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2008 20:38:25 -0400 Subject: [triangle-zpug] Looking for ways to generate rich text format In-Reply-To: <47F16990.6050405@unc.edu> References: <47F12AFF.5000802@email.unc.edu> <47F16990.6050405@unc.edu> Message-ID: <47F18401.1080608@email.unc.edu> Hi Chris, Thanks a lot! I'll check out the links you provided. It seems PyRTF does not follow the spec fully also, as far as I can tell from the code... maybe that's really a problem of M$ and it sounds like I should be thinking more about finding an alternative for RTF too :-) Really appreciate your help.

I'd be happy to come to a meeting in Raleigh and address this. There are some issues that we could all discuss together in the realm of, as you well put it, "secret knowledge" that would help clarify some of those issues. The process is applicable across the board, however, as a way of integrating a team and preforming a minimally sufficient amount of documentation that supports and facilitates a process that works! The tool is, in this case, very important to the process and I can demonstrate that. EA is not the only modeling tool, it's just a good one that works. I'd love to use an ArgoUML (Free tool) if it could be used, and, again, perhaps together at the meeting, it will become apparent if or how that might be possible with people more knowledgeable than I about the tool's ultimate possibilities. So, whoever organizes the meetings, I'm willing to do an hour or so at your next Raleigh meeting. Just let me know.

( http://i-want-php.appspot.com/ ) You can still download the SDK and try it out on your own machine. I went through the "Getting Started" guide in less than 15 minutes just to get my feet wet. If you have an existing app running on your Python web framework of the week (Turbogears, Django, etc.) -- and it doesn't depend on any C extensions, sockets, write access to the filesystem, etc. -- it shouldn't be too much trouble to make it work with the appengine. The biggest change will be how you define and use your data model, since Google has their own data store you have to use instead of a relational database. At the very least, I think it will allow developers to focus more on the apps themselves and spend less time worrying about where to host it and how to make it scalable.

A second edition is due out on September 22, 2008. This change is a result of feedback from several scientists with whom I've been helping transition to Python. I had them read all three of our recommendations. While all three are excellent books, the feeling was that Python for Dummies was *too* basic for the 21st century, while Beginning Python covered more of what you need to know. The author, Magnus Lie Hetland, is a long time contributor to the Python community (like the Python for Dummies author Aahz Maruch) and has a very interesting one page introduction to Python called Instant Python: http://hetland.org/writing/instant-python.html You may particularly enjoy his Jedi Mind Trick at the bottom of the page, which illustrates very well the dynamic nature of Python (as well as the superior closure properties of Python). -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://www.secoora.org office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From cbc at unc.edu Tue Apr 15 23:12:41 2008 From: cbc at unc.edu (Chris Calloway) Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:12:41 -0400 Subject: [triangle-zpug] NOTICE: Meeting day change Message-ID: <48051A49.8010201@unc.edu> There were no objections and one positive response after a month long feedback period to switch TriZPUG monthly meetings to Thursday.

Various remotely sensed images are employed in a novel model which estimates evapotranspiration for the Eno River Watershed in Durham and Orange Counties. Originally the workflow was entirely Matlab based. This user has found that the Python combination of numpy, pylab, and gdal has provided a full replacement and increased efficiency and portability."

The sprints occur Oct 11-13 (the conference is Oct 8-10). I think that invitation involves: a) finding out who wants to sprint on what b) apportioning available room space to those sprint topics c) publicizing those room space assignments d) calling a daily report out for each topic Nate Aune has usually been the ringmaster of the daily report outs in the past. I will encourage him to continue in that role. He's good at it. He relishes it. I'd like to ask a few questions: 1) Who anticipates going to PloneCon in Washington, DC, this fall? 2) If so, do you anticipate staying for sprints? 3) If you are, have you ever been to a PloneCon sprint before? 4) Do you think TriZPUG should accept this invitation? (I think I've already been volunteered for the task anyway. I'm just trying to find out how alone I'm going to be.) I assume TriZPUG is going to have a big presence at PloneCon this year due to it being only a five hour drive away. What would you think of TriZPUG being a bottom tier sponsor again (like we did in 2006)? I think we have the funds. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://www.secoora.org office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From cbc at unc.edu Wed Apr 16 01:41:25 2008 From: cbc at unc.edu (Chris Calloway) Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:41:25 -0400 Subject: [triangle-zpug] PyCamp concurrent with Plone Boot Camp Message-ID: <48053D25.4090302@unc.edu> As you know, we have two weeks of Plone Boot Camps scheduled this year: http://trizpug.org/boot-camp/pbc4/ And about weekly I get asked when are we (TriZPUG) going to have PyCamp again.

The Plone Symposium is heavily focused on technical useful tidbits and best practices of Python/Zope/Plone development. The goal for the Symposium is for to cover relevant topics for consultants, systems administrators, and developers. It is the perfect venue for prospects to engage the Plone community because of its intimate setting and core developer to attendee ratio. Some suggestions for talks for the Symposium: zope.interface / Adapters Eggs / VirtualEnv Buildout Lowering the bar for entry Integrating 3rd party applications Indexing / Events Content mirroring / Entransit RDBMS integration ZODB / RelStorage / zeoraid Consulting projects with Plone R&D and Consulting Plone in the Windows environment Making dynamic scalable sites with Plone Each presentation should be 30-45 minutes. Speaker should be intimately familar with subject matter. We recommend 5-10 minutes of Q&A section of presentation so audience members are allowed to ask questions. Speakers will have conference fee's waived and will get a tshirt. Please send title, abstract of presentation to alan at enfoldsystems.com. Look forward to seeing you at the symposium in New Orleans!

In case it wasn't clear before from the links: There are *two* Plone Boot Camps offered back to back this year: Regular and Advanced. The are one week *each*. The weeks are consecutive. You do not need to go to both. You can go to both. PyCamp is also a one week camp. I would possibly like to offer PyCamp during one or both of those weeks on the assumption that *most* people would not go to *both* back to back Plone Boot Camps (although a few people certainly will). That means maybe you could go to a Regular Plone Boot Camp one week and PyCamp the next. Or PyCamp one week and Advanced Plone Boot Camp the next. Or just Plone Boot Camp. Or just PyCamp. But you couldn't go to all three week-long camps in two weeks. :) I'm just trying to get a gauge a) if PyCamp should be offered at all, b) if it should be offered one week or the other, and c) if it should be offered both weeks. This all depends on a) if enough people would even go to PyCamp to justify offering it and b) being sure offering PyCamp would not adversely affect Plone Boot Camp. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://www.secoora.org office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From cshicks71 at gmail.com Thu Apr 17 11:59:15 2008 From: cshicks71 at gmail.com (Scott Hicks) Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:59:15 -0400 Subject: [triangle-zpug] PyCamp concurrent with Plone Boot Camp In-Reply-To: <480641D6.1070907@pobox.com> References: <480641D6.1070907@pobox.com> Message-ID: <4cd347450804170259i73f58a00nf9b85867067a68c8@mail.gmail.com> I am interested in the PyCamp boot camp.

That sounds like a reasonable number for TriZPUGers, if not less expensive. I'm of the opinion that community events should be super low cost, if not no cost, and cater to as many people as possible.

I assume the interest is to learn Python. The material in the can from last time. I spent several hundred hours putting it together.

The purpose in holding it concurrently is that is the only time in the 2008 UNC academic calendar year where we can get a classroom for a week. If it weren't for that, it would be my preference to do it some other time rather than try to run a two ring circus. If anyone at Duke or NCSU has a *suitable* classroom to do it in at another time at least four months in advance, I'm all ears. I've asked this several time and been told by different people it might be possible. But I've never gotten anything definite.

I think that's enough to go ahead and try to get the other 30. Pending it being OK with Joel to do PyCamp concurrently with Advance Plone Boot Camp, and a few other details like classroom and who else can help maintain the snack and beverage services during that week, I'd say we have enough interest to simply say, yep, we are having PyCamp this year Aug 4-10. I talked to Robline in person over the weekend and he is OK with having it then even though he has to go to Advanced Plone Boot Camp anyway. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://www.secoora.org office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From cbc at unc.edu Tue Apr 22 19:09:46 2008 From: cbc at unc.edu (Chris Calloway) Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:09:46 -0400 Subject: [triangle-zpug] PyCamp concurrent with Plone Boot Camp In-Reply-To: <480E1258.1010300@unc.edu> References: <480641D6.1070907@pobox.com> <4cd347450804170259i73f58a00nf9b85867067a68c8@mail.gmail.com> <48076EC3.6030801@unc.edu> <4cd347450804220323p50b666c2w11f560bc2d8f4b61@mail.gmail.com> <480E1258.1010300@unc.edu> Message-ID: <480E1BDA.7040903@unc.edu> On 4/22/2008 12:29 PM, Chris Calloway wrote: > I have the +1s for far.

The idea is to invite to the members of the Plone community and User Groups to give (at least) an introductory talk in their community, and do the same all over the world. The suggested date is november 7th. Right now we're looking for ploners interested to join the initiative, so we're asking to add their city in http://www.openplans.org/projects/plone-marketing/world-plone-day We believe that's a very simple idea and it could get a huge impact in Plone promotion. If you need support to organize the talks or want to get deeply involved on the initiative, feel free to join the evangelism group: http://www.nabble.com/Evangelism-f24086.html Also, if you've any suggestion or comment don't hesitate to write us!.
