Wow, our 11th anniversary meeting had an SRO crowd of 41 people. Thanks 
to Jessica McKellar for really bringing in the troops. And thanks to 
everyone who came out for a fine evening.

In case you missed it, here is a Jessica's talk from last night, "How 
the Internet Works," as it was presented at the most recent PyCon:

Also, here is the preview of the upcoming new python.org Jessica alluded 
to, and like she was suggesting, yeah, it's going to be all that:

Huge thanks to Jim Allman and Brad Oaks for providing Jessica's 
transportation from and back to the All Things Open (ATO) conference in 
Raleigh. There were a lot of people from TriPython at that conference 
and from all reports, it was a really worthwhile experience. It was also 
reported that plans for next year's ATO in Raleigh are already underway. 
There was some discussion at the after-meeting for making a stronger 
Python presence at ATO and so next year, who knows, maybe we'll get a booth.

More thanks to Alan Viars and Erik Rose for great lightning talks. Alan 
went into some of the details used to power his Restcat product which 
provides a RESTFul API for MongoDB:

Erik entertained us with his Blessings library, which is an easy answer 
for using curses-style terminal manipulation with Python:
