I have not done much in the meantime as one days problems have dragged into the next. I just sent him an email and am waiting for a reply. I have a few ideas and would be happy to sponsor a session on or off campus. I am sorry we have been working on some big projects and I have been in the mode if I don't hear anything I don't have to do anything. I have reached out to someone involved with a startup that uses Python for at least some of their infrastructure - Matt seems to want to meet with people in startups more than established companies so any thoughts?

I did invite him to shelter with us to make sure he had steak and corn on his trip through Nebraska. I am also willing to sponsor an event if I can hang up a directEDGAR sign - crass capitalist that I am. When I say sponsor I mean provide some food and drink. The issue is to get a count and a venue. I know some people like to have adult beverages at these things and while we can have them here the problem is that the total number of units consumed would be pretty small so the cost per unit would run pretty high since they have to be brought in by a caterer. I would rather bring in Chipolte or Qdoba or Pizza and soft drinks. I do have a marketing budget and this seems like an interesting way to spend some of it. I am just struggling with how to make sure he gets to meet some interesting startups (I guess all startups are interesting) that are using Python or a derivative. That has been the hurdle for me all along. Hey Burch, Yea, sorry about that! I've been awful with my plans lately. Tough being in a city with upcoming plans. I'm actually going to be in Des Moines and was going to head to Omaha for a day or two the week after next. What do you think we should do? Is there any meetup scheduled currently? Im more than happy to come into town and meet people or give a talk like the one i submitted to DjangoCon if you think people would be interested. Matt My response Matt I know the group would be interested in anything you have to say and I am working on identifying a start-up or two for you to visit. The issue is the dates the sooner you can be specific the easier it will be to confirm and make arrangements.

I guess we are not a startup. I think the issue is how to get a critical mass of people in the room. The last time I had time to attend meetings we were lucky to have ten. My own public speaking experiences have been that when there are 30 to 40 in the room the chemistry changes and the speaker starts to get energy from the audience. So the critical question is - can we get at least 30 in the room. If we are looking at just Pizza I would donate a door prize if I knew the audience was big enough if that would help draw more people. Maybe a $100 gift card to some place BestBuy, a book store? I am waiting for Matt to confirm his dates. I will also reach out to Silicon Prairie news. ________________________________________ From: Omaha [omaha-bounces+bkealey=mail.unomaha.edu at python.org] on behalf of Jay Bendon [jaybocc2 at gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 3:12 PM To: Omaha Python Users Group Subject: Re: [omaha] Matts Visit According to stanfords startup engineering course, this is the definition of a startup: http://www.paulgraham.com/growth.html FWIW, i will go to this whenever it is, most likely :P. --Jay On Wed, Jun 19, 2013 at 2:54 PM, Jeff Hinrichs wrote: > +1 on djangocon or even him talking about what he has learned on his trip > so far or even both. ++1 > > -Jeff > > -Jeff > > > On Wed, Jun 19, 2013 at 2:21 PM, Burch Kealey wrote: > > > I asked him because I do need some help here - anyone else.

My own public speaking experiences have been that when there are 30 to 40 in the room the chemistry changes and the speaker starts to get energy from the audience. So the critical question is - can we get at least 30 in the room. If we are looking at just Pizza I would donate a door prize if I knew the audience was big enough if that would help draw more people.

I have not heard back from him since yesterday so we shall see. -----Original Message----- From: Omaha [mailto:omaha-bounces+bkealey=mail.unomaha.edu at python.org] On Behalf Of Shawn Hermans Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 8:12 PM To: Omaha Python Users Group Subject: Re: [omaha] Matt's Visit I work for a startup called Sojern.

I'll have some good stories from across the US to share that will be relevant to Omaha. I will also be in the Midwest several times a year from now on so I hope to come by Omaha Python meetups in the future when our schedules overlap. Here's my talk: Making Your City's Developer Community Awesome What differentiates tech communities in cities across the United States? How do you make your community rally around a programming language's ecosystem and spur genuine excitement every time your group meets? This talk will show you what the best tech communities do right (hint: it's not city size that matters), what mistakes they need to correct, and how Omaha can continue building momentum for its developer community. Here's my bio taken from my DjangoCon speaker profile: "Matt Makai is a traveling software developer visiting thirty cities in five months from March through August 2013. Matt has been developing with Django since 2007 starting with version 0.96. He develops Django web applications for clients such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Motley Fool, George Washington University, Marriott International, and the Department of Defense. Matt writes two blogs, one on software development and entrepreneurship at http://www.mattmakai.com/ and another on his current Coding Across America trip around the United States to visit with technology companies at http://www.codingacrossamerica.com/. He has a B.S. in Computer Science from James Madison University, an M.S. in Computer Science and Applications from Virginia Tech and an M.S. in Management of Information Technology from the University of Virginia." When I have the entire presentation together it'll be posted on http://www.mattmakai.com/pages/presentations.html Please pass this on to the other developer meetups, such as PHP, Ruby, and Java. Some examples I'll use are from Python communities across the United States, but they'll still be relevant to any programming language community. Thanks!

I'll have some good stories from across the US to share that will be relevant to Omaha. I will also be in the Midwest several times a year from now on so I hope to come by Omaha Python meetups in the future when our schedules overlap. Here's my talk: Making Your City's Developer Community Awesome What differentiates tech communities in cities across the United States? How do you make your community rally around a programming language's ecosystem and spur genuine excitement every time your group meets? This talk will show you what the best tech communities do right (hint: it's not city size that matters), what mistakes they need to correct, and how Omaha can continue building momentum for its developer community. Here's my bio taken from my DjangoCon speaker profile: "Matt Makai is a traveling software developer visiting thirty cities in five months from March through August 2013. Matt has been developing with Django since 2007 starting with version 0.96. He develops Django web applications for clients such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Motley Fool, George Washington University, Marriott International, and the Department of Defense. Matt writes two blogs, one on software development and entrepreneurship at http://www.mattmakai.com/ and another on his current Coding Across America trip around the United States to visit with technology companies at http://www.codingacrossamerica.com/. He has a B.S. in Computer Science from James Madison University, an M.S. in Computer Science and Applications from Virginia Tech and an M.S. in Management of Information Technology from the University of Virginia." When I have the entire presentation together it'll be posted on http://www.mattmakai.com/pages/presentations.html Please pass this on to the other developer meetups, such as PHP, Ruby, and Java. Some examples I'll use are from Python communities across the United States, but they'll still be relevant to any programming language community. Thanks!

Any feedback would be appreciated. Once I send the Eventbrite link though I would really appreciate it if you would forward this far and wide - I am assuming right at this moment we can get the auditorium (the last public event in the auditorium was Warren Buffett sending his first tweet so Matt will be in august company). As an aside I will make sure all the faculty who are teaching at PKI right now have the link and ask them to send it to their students. MATT you have to indicate if this works for you - particularly is the speaking time enough or too much!! I want to tell you that this is going to be tough because I am starting a sabbatical this week and I thought I was going to get a clean break - not the case (that is a little dry-humor if you don't get it don't sweat it).

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I was a pretty avid nose user but have had migrated to py.test over the past year. Time to first test is extremely fast, and the easier it is to write tests the happier I am. If you haven't given it a look, you ought too. In a nutshell, while it can process any test that nose can (which is substantial) you can also write a test with just asserts. i.e. def test_this(): assert True == False py.test is brilliant in now it handles things. Leaving me not to worry about the myriad of test methods .assertEqual, .assertIsInstance etc. Plus you can make your tests smarter via setup/teardown, grouping, etc. If I've done py.test any justice, you should be curious about now.
