Subject: [melbourne-pug] [Slightly-OT] - Ad-hoc sharing of private git repos
Message-ID: <CADt_azZGWXopCgQU68PN3pqGxh2LLaa6m+BSRudyFpyJpPdOOg@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

 So I have a question that I don't think is too far off topic for this list.

 Let's say I have a private git repo at, for example, bitbucket.org.
This is all well and good and I do work in it commiting various
things. Then, let's say I decide I'd like to temporarily give
read-access to someone else. I can give them access to the entire repo
via bitbucket (and probably similarly via other services); however I
want to only give access to a certain folder. At the moment I think
the answer is "bad luck, it should be a different repo". So, I've kind
of done this. But is that the best answer? Is there any way anyone can
think of to have a sort of short-term share of a repo? For example,
one incredibly straightforward idea is to do a symlink from the folder
to a public (or whatever) dropbox folder, and share that. Any other
ideas?

 I suppose if I had my own git server the answer would be pretty
obvious - just create new repos and kind of share them like that
(maybe even leaving the originals in the original repo and doing some
offensive symlink stuff). But for some reason I'm not entirely
comfortable with the idea of creating repos on this sort of arbitrary
basis. Is that wrong? Should I be happy with it? (One of the reasons
I'm not is that it really makes the business of committing changes in
this super repository hard; I'd have to write some scripts to
auto-commit all children, or share commit messages, or something ...)

One aspect of the solution is that ideally it would be possible to get
a copy of everything via something other than git (hence I suppose the
dropbox plan is the best one); but I'd be okay if it were a web
interface or something. Appreciate any thoughts.

Upon further review, you can probably disregard this. I think the
answer is really just quite straightforward. For read-only access,
dropbox or similar (ftp, whatever) is appropriate.

For read/write, a new repository is appropriate. In that case I should
just convert the folder to be a new repo, make it a sub-repo of my own
thing, and control the access that way. Then the only change is that I
should somehow have group commit/push commands for this repository;
then so be it.

I think there are some systems which layer over the top and provide
more fine-grained access controls. Gitolite springs to mind. But I
really don't know what I'm talking about, so probably it's a red
herring.

The other option is to use a private gist (gist.github.com), which is a
clonable multi-file git repo. It's read-only for anyone you give the link
to, but you can keep pushing changes to it.

The downside is that you can't just use the repo you're working on, you'd
need to explicitly share just the files you care about.

That sounds great, Ryan. Very topical. Thanks to you and Richard for stepping up with talks.

I have a talk up my sleeve too: "10 cool things about Python", a 20-minute noob-friendly talk that I gave last week to the new Canberra group. Since we're covered for today, I'll save that for another time.

Cheers,

hi Noon,

I don't know what your use-case is, but if you find yourself wanting to share
just part of a git repo, you might want to break it into smaller modules.
You can use git-submodule or a script to pull them together.
It is possible to preserve the history, if you want to do that.

I tend to publish all my rubbish, and only keep stuff private
if it really needs to be private (passwords, contacts, contract work).

None of my own source code needs to be private,
although some of it might be embarassingly bad!

Hi all,

The next meeting falls on the 5th of November which is the day before
Melbourne Cup Day. I don't think this should dissuade us from meeting
as regular though...

For the next meeting I'm mulling over a presentation about coroutines
and how the new "syntax for delegating to subgenerators" (aka "yield
from") can help out. Any interest or thoughts on that? (reply
privately please ;-)

Message-ID: <CABRwem=3R6v64JfOhDmrHRxzLwemHpwkMgyBH72wYcYOs_6t4w@mail.gmail.com>

Hi there!

It's definitely early days still, but we're seeking launch sponsors
(those lucky companies whose name appears on the website from the
moment we launch our CFP) for PyCon Australia 2013.

Having a broad range of sponsors is what helps us to make our
conference as awesome as it is.

This year, we have a special "Contributor" package for individuals and
small businesses, at AU$800 (vs. ~$450 for a full "Professional"
ticket), and packages with full sponsor benefits start at AU$1500. All
packages come with complimentary "Professional" tickets to the
conference.

For full details of everything we're doing next year, and our
sponsorship packages, see our prospectus:
http://2012.pycon-au.org/prospectus_2013.pdf ? it's designed to be
printed off as a shiny colour booklet that you can give to your boss.

If you're not in a position to commit to sponsorship, we're also happy
to get early expressions of interest, so that we can contact you again
next year.

If you're interested, shoot me an e-mail at sponsorship at pycon-au.org ?
I'm also more than happy to help develop and put a business case if
you need that. Just let me know!

I look forward to hearing from you!

--Chris

Subject: [melbourne-pug] RESTful return in pyramid
Message-ID: <CALz4+LJ2LY1j8J6fhuYnNVpcFOWyPLaG1zW5cssoFM=TP3-hNg@mail.gmail.com>

 I'm working on converting a pylons app over to pyramid.  In the process, I
also want to make things as RESTful as possible.  To that end, I've been
writing an add-on for the app using pyramid and REST patterns that is
microcosmic enough to give me a fair idea (and practice) for what the
larger project will entail.

The issue I keep running up against is that I make heavy use of dataTables
in that app.  Although this doesn't inherently play REST, you can sorta
make it work  RESTfully and to a large extent  you can do it without having
to circumvent its built-in conveniences (server-side processing / paging)
with your own overrides.   However, this still means engineering your
server-side responses to look the way dataTables wants them to look.  These
are not always all that RESTful, and, should you want to use the same views
for something else, you must then re-engineer those responses.     I can
think of several approaches to making the view callables more generic, but
before I go off re-inventing the wheel, thought I'd float this here and see
if anyone else is doing similar work or knows of projects or modules or
packages  that have addressed this.

Cheers,
Nick

hi there,

I wrote a filesystem 'fusegit' to mount git repos, in one page of
python using RouteFS.  It's very slow and foolish at the moment.
I'll improve it later.

  http://sam.nipl.net/code/fusegit/

This is so I can use files that are stored compactly in a git repo,
without having to do a checkout.  It can save a lot of disk space
on my web servers.  At the moment it only mounts HEAD, but could mount
different branches / revisions without using any extra storage.

The advice to declare a license, early and prominently, has been good
advice for a long time.

I recommend anyone hoping to work with a community of programmers to get
and absorb Karl Fogel's book, ?Producing Open Source Software?
<URL:http://producingoss.com/>, which has a great deal of practical
advice for setting up and maintaining a free software project.

The text is a little dated, simply because the state of available tools
moves so quickly. But most of the advice still holds, including the
admonition to choose a strong, widely-understood free software license
and clearly declare it on the project's site.

Buy the book if you can, even though it's licensed as free culture.

Hi all,

We're a small professional organisation of 120 people looking for a 
developer for our new website.

If any of you have decent Django and web design experience and are 
interested in such small fry, please let me know.

We have a good idea of what we want on the website (we have a site map 
sketched out with professional help.) We need to get up, and running 
with at least a skeleton website within 4 months.

Existing website: http://www.austat.org.au

Total budget (including design) not to exceed $10,000.

Thanks for any expressions of interest,

Best wishes,

Nick

Message-ID: <CAKADsbeNbGdjr3Qg_=NWY=a1TYZQvc8a2_5LwvPojAHT6EMfAA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone.

Next Monday is the first Monday of the month, so I guess that means we
have a date for Python hijinks, pizza and beer, hosted by Inspire 9 at
1/41 Stewart Street in Richmond.

Pizza will be ordered after a show of hands bearing $10 bills, and
beer is from the Inspire 9 fridge, $5 contribution strongly
encouraged, come on, don't be a moocher!

I have spent the past week wrangling the Rackspace Cloudserver Nextgen
API for a client, so I will be giving a talk about the clouds, with a
minishow of the apache-libcloud library and a minimal discussion of
pros and cons of Rackspace Cloud vs AWS.

An unnamed soul has also written themselves up on the wiki for a talk
about building an universal remote control with Arduino and Python.

And there's always more time, so if anybody has a talk they'd like to
give, or a question they'd like to ask the assembled Python community
of Melbourne and environs, please speak up here on the list, or go add
yourself directly in the wiki:
http://j.mp/mpug

Cheers,

Javier
