[TriZPUG] TriZPUG February 2011 Meeting: Optimizing LAMP with SciPy

[Chris Calloway]

What:
     Meeting
When:
     Thursday, February 24 from 7pm to 9pm
Where:
     Red Hat HQ, NCSU Centennial Campus, 1801 Varsity Drive, Raleigh
     http://www.redhat.com/about/contact/ww/americas/raleigh.html

Kurt Grandis of Metametrics will give a preview of his upcoming PyCon 
2011 talk entitled "Swarming the Web: Evolving the Perfect Config File." 
Kurt describes the talk thusly, "Deployed web applications are typically 
run on top of stacks of highly configurable middleware. The number of 
tunable parameters and their impact are rarely fully explored. Using 
SciPy and a set of common Python-based web tools this session will 
present a new method of automatically tuning a typical LAMP stack for 
optimal performance."

As always, spontaneous lightning talks of ten minutes or less on other 
topics are also welcome. Anything you've learned about Python, no matter 
how trivial, can be a lightning talk. There's plenty of parking in the 
decks beside Red Hat. The after-meeting watering hole location will be 
decided at the meeting.
