Message-ID:
So, along the line of sharing, a bunch of WSGI people (mostly
TurboGears at this stage, but we want to integrate a bit with Zope or
Django people too) are getting together to rent this villa:
http://www.vrbo.com/255327. 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.
If you want more info, let me know.

Oh, yeah, Joe is one of the *invited* speakers. His talk, "Threading Is
Not A Model," is a follow-up to one of the themes from his talk last
year, "The (Lack Of) Design Patterns In Python."
http://pycon.blip.tv/file/2081379/
I'm pretty sure Joe's talk will settle the GIL argument once and for all. :)
> who else is going?
Good question to ask with about seven hours left of early bird
registration period.
The following people in the Triangle have paid registrations:
Joe Gregorio
Frank Wierzbicki
Gary Poster
Kurt Grandis
Michael Clemmons
Chris Calloway
Joseph Tate
Chris Outen
Keith Solademi
David Chandek-Stark
Chris Rossi
Paul McLanahan
Cliff Dyer
Jon Sackett
Chander Ganesan
Albert Hopkins
Michaux Kelley
Michael Wright
And that list doesn't include most of the people who said they are going
at the last two TriZPUG meetings. So I'm assuming there will be a lot
more registrations soon from folks with an extra $50 to blow.
Some out-of-area people who have been guests/volunteers at TriZPUG
sponsored events and who are also registered for PyCon:
Ian Bicking
Daniel Greenfeld (PyDanny)
Chris Johnson
Aaron VanDerlip
Calvin Hendryx-Parker
Chris McDonough
Chris Shenton
Greg Wilson
Jeffrey Elkner
Kapil Thangavelu
Mike Fletcher
Alan Runyan
Shane Hathaway
Tres Seaver

Subject: [TriZPUG] application development sprint for Jacksonville,
NC "Christmas Cheer" program
Message-ID:
I also posted this on TriLUG, but there it's largely off topic.
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.

Subject: [TriZPUG] BlueBream
Message-ID: <4B50978F.2000703@unc.edu>
A very rapidly evolving Zope 3 framework emerged at the beginning of
this New Year:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bluebream
It has a rather active Twitter channel and is getting some traction,
most recently a big pat on the back from the Zope Foundation which is
also creating a subdomain for it on par with Grok:
http://twitter.com/bluebream
The framework was started by Baiju Muthukadan, the author of that open
source ZCA book, which was great and simple, but also kind of thin. 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

That repo is imported into Launchpad. If you use Bazaar you can get it with:

Idunno. I may have spoken too soon about it. I was thinking I wish I had
about a day to play with it when I clicked on the third chapter of the
documentation and it was completely blank. :)
That's kind of like the ZCA book that preceded it. About the time is got
interesting, it stopped.

Yes, last time we were at CCC we had a nice after-meeting at Southern Rail. We could do that again, Milltown, or upstairs at the Armadillo Grille. Decisions, decisions.

I'd like to try Southern Rail, never been. I do enjoy Armadillo
Grille.... I adore miltown for its beer selection but I'm not drinking

Just attended my first TrizPUG last night and wanted to:
* Introduct myself... Hi, I'm Og Maciel, QA Engineer for rPath and
some times try to write python code. I currently am a contributor to
the Transifex project written in django and am also heavily involved
with the localization effort of several open source projects, such as
GNOME, Xfce, Openbox, LXDE, KDE, etc, etc.
* Thank Kurt, Tobias and the other 2 gentlemen whose name scapes me
now for the talk from last night!

Thanks, Kurt, for an easy to follow demo.
Thanks, Tobias, for opening helping us meet at CCC and for the beverages.

I knew this was going to happen. I just didn't know it was going to
happen tomorrow. If you just happen to be in Seattle tomorrow, this is
well work going to, especially the part about PyModel:
http://www.seapig.org/NWPD10
Maybe we can have an event like that in the future. Past Northwest
Python Days have been very successful. The first one brought in about
140 people and $3000 for the PSF.
A bunch of us have been going to/presenting at/sprinting with the
following event for the last couple of years and so I want to make sure
you know the dates for 2010:
http://weblion.psu.edu/events/plone-symposium-east-2010/plone-symposium-east-2010
I was notified today that I will give the three-day condensed version of
PyCamp at that event again this year. So if you know anyone in need of
three days of Python push-ups, registration will be open soon.

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
