It's available for the entire duration of the conference +tutorals + sprints (check in 2/16 check out 9AM 2/26), and we could fit a couple more people (there are 10 slots/beds total). The rules are: Everyone pays the same amount, whether you stay the whole time or not (one attendee will be sponsored though). Organizers and sponsored attendee get first dibs on beds, every one else is first come first served, but each gets their own bed unless a sharing arrangement is worked out in advance. There will be a few cars to ferry people to the Marta station/grocery store: http://bit.ly/52MDyO Something about an open bottle of WSGI If you're going to be there a week or longer, it'll be a pretty good deal, we're hoping about $5-600 per person/bed.

There's a need in Jacksonville, NC for an application to help manage their Christmas Cheer program. This is a program to link donors/sponsors with needy families to provide them some sort of help at Christmastime (food, toys for kids, etc.). The group is an affiliate of the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. They currently have a very manual system built using the 1992 version of Q&A (DOS based and all the fun that entails), but would like something multi-user, and remote accessible. Their current system is also archaic and only known/usable by one guy, despite his efforts to train other users. I'm thinking that a few of us could put a new system together for them in a couple of weekend sprints on a LNPPy* stack if we work together. If there's an existing project that does a good portion of what we need, we'll just sprint on that project, customizing it for the Jacksonville organization (if anyone knows of something, please let me know). The resulting code would be released using the GPL or other OSI license as appropriate. We'd hold those sprints some time in the next few months. The architecture that I think will work best is a central database (PostgreSQL) hosted at webfaction or similar, and also hosting a web service. Then two views would be built, an evaluation/reporting view as an DHTML/AJAX web-UI, and a cross-platform rich client for data entry to maximize the efficiency of data input. We have a few testers and html-designer guys through a contact of mine, but I'm looking for some volunteers to fill out the ranks: Sys Admin(s) to set up and optimize the database, set up backups, set up a live demo, etc. Web stylists/graphics artists to make the forms/reports pretty. Perl/Python scripters to handle data import from the old system (DBF or CSV), converting it to the new schema as required. Documentation writers (keep a wiki page during development of what steps are needed to get a working environment set up, help come up with the taxonomy and wordsmith text in the application, write inline help documentation for the final application) As many programmers as are willing to donate some time. Need not be an expert programmer, or even know Python, just be willing to learn. If you're interested in helping with this, reply back (off list) with weekend availability during Jan/Feb/March as well as what kind of work you'd like to do to help. * nginx, Python and PostgreSQL vs. Apache, MySQL and PHP. -- Joseph Tate Personal e-mail: jtate AT dragonstrider DOT com Web: http://www.dragonstrider.com From josh_johnson at unc.edu Tue Jan 12 15:51:10 2010 From: josh_johnson at unc.edu (Josh Johnson) Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2010 09:51:10 -0500 Subject: [TriZPUG] JOB: Two Python/Plone Positions Open @ UNC In-Reply-To: <5494264A-343E-427F-B30C-3D7A16FA3D27@unc.edu> References: <5494264A-343E-427F-B30C-3D7A16FA3D27@unc.edu> Message-ID: One of the positions is still open: https://s4.its.unc.edu/RAMS4/details.do?reqId=1001034&type=S I'll be at the next meeting if anyone wants to talk to me about the position in person.

The documentation for BlueBream looks like it might be a restart/continuation of that book: http://packages.python.org/bluebream/ BlueBream looks like a combination of ZTK, Buildout, Paste, and several of the more popular Zope 3 namespace packages. In looking at the documentation it looks like a good start at simplifying entry into Zope 3 application development more than anything I've seen yet, including Grok. The documentation even makes this claim: "Very recently Zope 3 project is renamed to BlueBream." Hm. BlueBream is managed over at Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/bluebream But has its repo on zope.org's SVN: svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/bluebream The IRC channel looks kind of lonely: irc://irc.freenode.net/#bluebream -- 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 brad.crittenden at gmail.com Fri Jan 15 20:34:38 2010 From: brad.crittenden at gmail.com (Bradley A.

Hope you can help Message-ID: <5e44dad81001301044y5df10759r5e17206cc8d325e6@mail.gmail.com> Hi friends in Triangle-land, We're looking forward to having you down in my hometown for PyCon in just 3 weeks! I just got confirmation that Plone will be given a booth for PyCon in Atlanta! With the short notice, we need all the help we can get in organizing and manning the booth. I wanted to ask if any of you who are coming to PyCon could help with the booth. We'll need volunteers for the booth, during Friday or Saturday of the conference (10am till 4pm is booth time). Please let me know if you can (and what time preferences you have, if any). Also, if you have any Plone materials (overviews, case studies, technical materials etc) that you could contribute, that'd be great! I think it'd be cool to display Plone books on the table also (marked for DISPLAY ONLY so people don't walk off with our goods). Anyone have the recent Theming, Education or End User books they could bring? (we've got practical plone and plone dev here). Any other idea for materials for the booth? Look forward to seeing you here! Let us know if you have any questions for the locals :) Best, Chris -- Cofounder and CEO ifPeople - Innovation for People t: 678-608-3408 x16 www.ifpeople.net ** Check out our upcoming trainings!
