This month's Michel's Module of the Month will be presented by Michel, but we have no idea what module it will be. I'm holding out for autoGIL.

Please join us!

Hey guys, almost real time (meeting about to start).

I'm in Minneapolis, trying some different beers (other reasons too *).

Enjoyed reading about Urban Airship in that WW article.

I'll be back in time for OS Bridge.

Kirby

* hoping to visit with Father Magnus Wenninger tomorrow, a famous
polyhedralist

Hi, Portland Pythonistas!

Since I am back in Portland and it's my birthday today I would like to get to see as many of you as I can. My empty apartment would not be the best place for a party, so I am going to be at the Lucky Lab at 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd from 7:30 to about 10:00 (or possibly later, but no commitment to that on a school night).

I hope to see you there. Sorry about the short notice!

regards
 Steve

This is nearby enough that I think it is of interest to Portland 
pythonistas:

University of Washington Marketing and the Seattle Plone Gathering host 
the inaugural Seattle PyCamp 2011 at The Paul G. Allen Center for 
Computer Science & Engineering on Monday, August 29 through Friday, 
September 2, 2011.

so you can get your work done quickly. PyCamp emphasizes the features 
which make Python a simpler and more efficient language. Following along 
with example Python PushUps? speeds your learning process. Become a 
self-sufficient Python developer in just five days at PyCamp! PyCamp is 
conducted on the campus of the University of Washington in a state of 
the art high technology classroom.

Hi everyone!

I'm in town for some CouchDB training - anyone want to get together
and chat about Python, CouchDB, NoSQL, or beer?

Yes you do! http://www.baileystaproom.com/  at 7pm.

A couple of people have confirmed already, so if at least a few more
come out, it'll be a good group!


Also maybe interesting for people teaching Python:
I just finished teaching an Internet Programming in Python course, and
the syllabus, slides & examples are online. You're welcome to use them
any way you like:
Syllabus: http://briandorsey.info/uwpython/
Materials: https://github.com/briandorsey/uwpython_web


Take care,
-Brian

Subject: [portland] Python User Group International Survey
Message-ID: <BANLkTim+dMu6qMV9vdG0VGJ4cKLyv2NQvA@mail.gmail.com>

The PSF is happy to launch today an international survey of Python user
group organizers to help it better serve the large and ever-expanding
international Python user community.

The survey contains questions on user group organization, events,
demographics, and growth. There are some questions with numerical
answers, and while your best guess is fine, you may find it helpful to
gather some statistics on your user group membership before starting
the survey (example statistics include the number of active members
and the size and topics for recent user group events).

We expect this survey to take around 30 minutes to complete. We
appreciate your time and honesty in answering these questions.

The PSF blog post announcing the survey:
http://pyfound.blogspot.com/2011/06/tell-us-about-your-user-group.html

The survey was written by Jessica McKellar (http://jesstess.com),
organizer for the Boston Python Meetup
(http://meetup.bostonpython.com), and Jesse Noller
(http://jessenoller.com/), PSF board member and PyCon chair with input
and feedback from survey specialists and others.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BWLG8SZ

The survey was pretested with a handful of user group organizers, and
their answers were phenomenal. Organizers have tons to say about these
topics, and we hope to get a lot of great, actionable data for
strengthening the relationship between the PSF and Python user groups
out of this effort.

Outreach, education, diversity and community building are critical for
Python as a community, and the Foundation - this data should greatly
assist in our targeting our resources and furthering the mission of
the Foundation in all ways.

Thank you

The Python Software Foundation
Jessica McKellar
