John, There are lots of "hack night" events throughout the Triangle area. Here are some upcoming ones: * Tonight, Raleigh.rb (Ruby): http://www.meetup.com/raleighrb/events/23280801/ * Sunday, SplatSpace (all languages): http://www.meetup.com/splatspace/events/24196031/ * Monday, TriClojure (Clojure, a lisp derivative on the JVM): http://www.meetup.com/splatspace/events/22751121/ * Tuesday, TriangleJS (Javascript/ECMAscript): http://www.meetup.com/Triangle-JavaScript/events/23857831/ * Next Saturday, Triangle Arduino (Arduino, electronics, and Atmel AVR): http://www.meetup.com/splatspace/events/24841281/ All of these are repeating events. Most of them are monthly. The one at SplatSpace is every Sunday. The Arduino one also meets at TechShop on the second Monday of the month. For this month, though, I recommend that you check out TriClojure since they're doing live coding and audio synthesis. It should be loads of fun. We did a couple Python hack nights with TriZPUG, but we never got a date and location that stuck. You're welcome to organize one yourself and invite us all to come. All you need is a coffeeshop, a conference room in a library, an empty office, or an empty classroom. Enjoy!

I set up a couple of announcement mechanisms for people who did hack nights and dojos last year: http://trizpug.org/phn http://trizpug.org/pydojo These have gone unused for awhile. But no reason not to use them. I was just looking at them the other day and thinking, I'm doing to take these down if no one is going to use them.

Since I was there, I know about that. I referenced it in my earlier reply. I referred to: "We did a couple Python hack nights with TriZPUG" which by your answer would translate to: "Some of us at TriZPUG did a couple Python hack nights with TriZPUG" which I'm not sure is what Justis meant when he said "we" after refering to SplatSpace and Techshop and some other groups. I'm just trying to find out if there were a "we" who did a couple Python hack nights with TriZPUG that I didn't know about. If not, no biggie and sorry. I was hoping the organizers of the Hack nights and Dojos want to continue organizing them. But if not, it sounds like John might want to. I just want to encourage him to come out and declare one, in the spirit of our do-acracy. The hardest part, of course, if getting a space, which I'd be happy to provide again. If anyone wants to organize such an event (or several, or on a continuing basis), I can offer space with networking and laptop projection in my building on the UNC campus. It just comes with the following caveats: a) It takes about 20 minutes to set up your networking if you have never networked in my building before. b) There is free parking right next to my building, but only after 5pm on weekdays and all day on weekends (hey, we have a brand new parking lot since we last met here). c) The doors to my building lock automatically at 7pm. You'd have to call someone already inside the building to let you in after 7pm. d) I'm gone for a a large chunk of August. Your event would pretty much need to occur while I'm available for you to host it in my building. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://nccoos.org/Members/cbc office: 3313 Venable Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From KGrandis at lexile.com Fri Jul 8 17:50:47 2011 From: KGrandis at lexile.com (Kurt Grandis) Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2011 11:50:47 -0400 Subject: [TriZPUG] Programming groups?

I really enjoyed last year's Hack Nights and would love to see them start up again. So, let's do this. MetaMetrics will host a Python Hack Night on Wednesday, July 20th (evening). Exact time and details to follow. It's a bit short notice, but if you can make it then make it. If not, hopefully you can make the next one. Hack Nights are a great opportunity to work with other local Python developers. All levels of experience are welcome and encouraged. Whether you want to learn more about Python, help others out, or bang out some cool projects with other folks, come on out. If you do want to let people know about a project you'ld like some help with or are looking to join or start some work feel free to post about it on the mailing list. MetaMetrics 1000 Park Forty Plaza Suite 120 Durham, NC 27713 Drop me an email (off list) if you are interested in attending so I have an idea what to plan for. -Kurt From: trizpug-bounces+kgrandis=lexile.com at python.org [mailto:trizpug-bounces+kgrandis=lexile.com at python.org] On Behalf Of John Riselvato Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2011 1:09 PM To: trizpug at python.org Subject: [TriZPUG] Programming groups?

Folks worked on personal websites, scrum tools, educational projects, nose plugins, Django charting tools, and more. We even had an impromptu game AI-building competition. We'll try to have another one in August. I'll post the details shortly. -Kurt From: trizpug-bounces+kgrandis=lexile.com at python.org [mailto:trizpug-bounces+kgrandis=lexile.com at python.org] On Behalf Of John Riselvato Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 11:29 AM To: trizpug at python.org Subject: [TriZPUG] 1.

There are several key Python projects which have been needing a community developed and maintained PasteScript replacement. So don't miss this one. This will also, sadly, be our last meeting at CCC as it will be closing at the end of September. I want attendees to pay special attention to the tip jar link at the top of the whiteboard in the CCC conference room so you can show Brian your appreciation for what he's done for us. Not to fear for Chapel Hill meetings, though. My new building has great meeting facilities, as well as after hours free parking right beside the building.

Any information is great! Thanks, John Riselvato Also, If your reading this but can't help me on this quest, maybe check out my site anyways. I just revamped it completely yesterday spending 16 hours straight building a CSS3/HTML5 website and would really like to know what you think.

[2] I mentioned this for comic effect, but there is a lot of really good information in there about the really extreme things we've been doing with Plone.
