[TriZPUG] May Meeting Call for Speakers

[jj at email.unc.edu]

I'd like to volunteer to give my plone symposium talk if there's interest. It was supposed to be an 'ArchGenXML sucks' talk to advocate the use of ZopeSkel for content type generation but I think it will be more of a retrospectuve of the many ways to create content types and why they all suck :P

Hey Kids!

Thanks to Alex Ray, the next TriZPUG meeting will return to our 
birthplace, NCSU's Centennial Campus, this time in Room 2015 of 
Engineering Building I:

http://trizpug.org/Members/cbc/may-09-mtg/

We'll be meeting on the 3rd Thursday (*May 21*) instead of the 4th 
Thursday in May because of the Plone Symposium East in the fourth week. 
However, May 21 is still four weeks after our April 23 meeting. Funny 
how that works.

If you'd like to present at this meeting, please sound off here on this 
email list.

As always, though, each of you is expected to be ready with a lightning 
talk if called on. You should be able to talk for five minutes about 
something Python-related you learned or heard of in the last month or 
so. No topic is too trivial as a lightning talk is supposed to be easy, 
something you can do without preparation maybe even.

Here's how to get to Centennial Campus:

Here's how to find Engineering Building I on Centennial Campus:
http://www.ncsu.edu/campus_map/centennial.htm

Parking is diagonally across the street in the Red Hat Deck, just like 
for TriLUG meetings.

Alex, will we be able to get in the building at 7pm? When we met on 
Centennial Campus before we had to have a phone number posted on the 
door and somebody ran downstairs to let people in.

Alex, will there be a laptop projector and/or internet available?

For the after-meeting, I would like to suggest we go to one of Raleigh's 
finest institutions which is not too far away, The Player's Retreat (The 
PR) near the corner of Oberlin and Hillsborough. Parking is across the 
street in the bank lot:

Here are the simple directions for the 1.9 mile jaunt from Engineering 
Building I to The PR. I suggest maybe you print them out if you don't 
know Raleigh:
