I won't be able to make it, because my wife has chorus on Tuesday
nights. I hope it is a hit and as successful as our Carrboro project
nights have grown!

Subject: [TriZPUG] TriZPUG October 2012 Meeting: PyCarolinas Report Out
Message-ID: <506A2D77.6090907@unc.edu>

The meeting topic is tentative. If you'd like to feature your talk at 
the meeting, we will gladly switch the title of the meeting to your 
topic. Just post your declaration of intent to this email list.

When: Thursday, October 25, 2012, 7:00 PM

Where: Caktus Consulting Group, 209 Lloyd St #110, Carrboro, NC

"""
Let's recap PyCarolinas possibly with a reprise of some of our favorite 
talks from the conference. To announce a talk for this meeting, send an 
email with your topic to the TriZPUG email list. 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 at Caktus and we can walk to 
nearby after-meeting watering holes.

I'd like to get word out about PyCarolinas to other local(-ish)
groups. I'd like to attract people new to or just interested in
Python, not just people already well versed in it. Can we get some
suggestions for other groups that might be good to invite?

I think TriLUG would be appropriate.. there's also TriangleJS, the
Triangle DevOps meetup...

Just of the top of my head.

Oh maybe Refresh The Triangle (is that still going on?).. any
programming-related group - it seems a lot of C/C++ folks use or are
interested in python (and things like Scons)

I posted a "Promotion" on the LinkedIn Python Community Group.
There's a significant Python group within Lenovo, but I'm not sure how
to get a hold of them.

Have a project you want to show off, share, seek help with, or just get
some work done surrounded my like minded python lovers? Join us for our
first monthly hack night and do just that! Don't have something to work on?
Show up and enjoy the energy, sprint on an open source project, find
something interesting to contribute to or be inspired by!

The setting is informal and there is no schedule, so don't worry if you
show up past the start time.

This would be a great time to play around with a new idea or polish up an
existing one in preparation for a lightning talk at PyCarolinas!

All,

Have you signed up for PyCarolinas yet?

Registration closes Sunday. This is a big deal for the community. We
deserve a great Python conference in the area, and now we have one.
Don't miss out! You won't have to drive far, and you'll have a great
time. Sign up today and show up next weekend!

http://www.eventbrite.com/event/4164098932

And, if you have anything you'd like to speak about, come prepared
with a lightning talk!

I hope to see everyone there.

Calvin

PS - Seriously, be there!

No, but we have to put final numbers in for the t-shirts, and the
orders for breakfast and coffee. We can't keep registration open
longer and properly plan. Two people asked about the deadline after it
had closed today, and i let them in.

I considered leaving a no t-shirt, free registration open, but this
would mean more people eating the breakfast spread than are able to
plan for...

Thanks. That is very sound reasoning. I asked because I wondered about a 
no t-shirt late registration myself. I purposely did not early advertize 
PyCarolinas to the UNC community because I did not want them 
overwhelming the registration numbers. For instance, when we have UNC 
BarCamp, it sells out (150 slots) in about two seconds. I've never 
gotten to go. And one of the purposes for local Python conferences like 
PyCarolinas is to take the load off PyCon, which sold out a month early 
and a bunch of people like me didn't get to go this year.

Unfortunately, I was traveling out of the country in the days before 
PyCarolinas registration closed, so I didn't get the last minute word 
out to the UNC community. I don't think it's a bad thing that 
PyCarolinas didn't sell out, though. This is a first time thing for us 
and we need to learn from it. PyCarolinas on training wheels. Soft 
landings where we can. Having a capacity crowd would just make things 
kind tougher. Having a smaller crowd might make for a more intimate 
conference where people actually confer with each other.

Thanks for all you are doing and I'm really looking forward to this 
weekend at PyCarolinas.

I have decided to be very happy with the number we have, and not care
about any number we don't have. We had zero attendees at every single
PyCarolinas in the past, because they didn't exist. We have increased
attendance by a factor of infinity this year! That is amazing work.

And thank you, I am really looking forward to everything, as well.

Raleigh Project Night meets on first Tuesdays. Have a project you want

surrounded my like minded python lovers? Don't have something to work 
on? Just want to get away on election night? Show up and enjoy the 
energy, sprint on an open source project, find something interesting to 
contribute to or be inspired by! The setting is informal and there is no 
schedule, so don't worry if you show up past the start time. For this 
project night, Chris Calloway will help Python newcomers set up the 
Python Koans to learn Python the Zen way (using test driven development).

Message-ID: <CAGZ7LV_LZzGCgms59CX9GZ7sUmQvaJ1-M8vb6nziX-ii3q+7Cg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi folks,

I don't normally try to promote my musical projects around here, but I
am playing a show with a band of mine, Amor de Cosmos at the Pinhook
in Durham on 10/19, the Friday night before PyCarolinas.  It occurs to
me that there might be some folks in from out of town for PyCarolinas
looking for something to do, so I thought I'd offer this up as a
potential, unofficial pre-PyCarolinas social event.

I think one of the great side effects of PyCarolinas was getting a lot 
of areas on the map, Python-wise. I met some folks from Spartanburg, SC 
who did not know about the Hub City Python group, and so that fledgling 
user group has been expanded. And word about PYPTUG in the Triad also 
got out at PyCarolinas.

Regarding PYPTUG, isn't there a second effort to organize Python folks 
in Greensboro (rather than Winston-Salem)? Who is associated with that?

Subject: [TriZPUG] Python Testing Fundamentals
Message-ID: <5085C4F4.6000603@unc.edu>

I just found out the that the PyOhio videos are finally up. So that 
means my tutorial video is available:

http://pyvideo.org/video/1366/python-testing-fundamentals

Unfortunately, as is almost always the case, the batteries in the 
wireless mic were not working very well. You can see them being replaced 
three times before it was discovered that the whole box of wireless mic 
replacement batteries were bad. So the audio is only borderline 
listenable, actually stops working entirely at the 25:16 mark, and then 
starts working again at 51:40.

Something for your regional conference checklist: find out what kind of 
wireless mic batteries you need (PyCarolinas mics used 9 Volt batteries, 
so they aren't all AA's) and bring plenty of fresh ones.

I also made the truly egregious error of misspelling Philipp von 
Weitershausen's name on one of my slides. This may not seem important to 
you. But it will haunt me for months.

Are the presentations (recordings and/or powerpoints) going to be available
on the web, preferably collected in one place?

This meeting is in a little over two weeks and I would really, really 
like it if someone would volunteer a feature talk ahead of time. In 
fact, I think we would all really, really like that. :)

When: Thursday, November 15 at 7pm

Where: WebAssign, NCSU Centennial Campus,
        1791 Varsity Drive, Suite 200,
        Raleigh

To schedule around Thanksgiving, November's TriZPUG meeting is on the 
third instead of the fourth Thursday. To announce a talk for this 
meeting, send an email with your topic to the TriZPUG email list. 
Extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 minute duration are also 
welcome. Please join us at our first meeting at WebAssign and share your 
Python experiences. Plenty of free after hours parking will be available 
in the adjacent Centennial Campus decks. An after-meeting location for 
food and beverage will be decided at the meeting.

BTW, the December meeting at Splatspace will also be on the third 
Thursday to schedule around yet another holiday. And we'd like a 
scheduled speaker for that meeting as well, if you are thinking ahead.
