I filed a support request with UNC, asking for Internet access as a
visitor, and received the following e-mail response, plus a phone call:

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: UNC-CH PTR <arsys at remedy05.isis.unc.edu>
Date: Sat, Jan 28, 2012 at 9:24 PM

Dear Customer : The worklog of your problem ticket has the following new
information.
  Worklog Entry: Called user and let him know since he did not have a
direct affiliation with the university we could not register, but advised
user if he could find the person affiliated with the university in the
group, they could register under their credentials, or user could seek to
get affiliate role and then register himself.


The gentleman who called me explained that UNC needs to restrict access to
only computers that are in its database, so that they can track internet
access, and assign blame for copyright violations.  (That seems very
big-brother-ish, to me; I guess things haven't changed much since I was in
college: college students seemingly still are considered less than full
citizens, with less than normal rights.)

He suggested that I get someone in the group who has a UNC affiliation to
register my computer under his credentials, if I need Internet access while
on campus.  (Contrary to the email, he did *not* hold out any hope that I
could "get [an] affiliate role" and register myself -- I asked if I could
get my own credentials, and he said no.)

Alternately, perhaps we could program a cheap router to spoof a registered
MAC address, for use at our meetings?  I don't know whether that might get
someone in trouble.

I don't really need Internet, I guess, except that I might need it to do a
lightning on, for example, lxml.

Of course, if we're going to meet off-campus, this is all moot, I guess.

Dave

Hi all,
I know a lot of us are on the same mailing lists, but I wanted to make
sure everyone knew that the TRILUG meeting this week will be sponsored
by WebAssign, where I'm working these days.

Details: http://trilug.org/2012-02-09/tnc

The topic involves open standards for network security - it should be
very interesting.

Lots of folks from the company will be there (including myself) -- did
I mention WebAssign is hiring?

Thanks,
JJ

Alex Kesling is attempting to reserve a room at NCSU for the usual 
fourth Thursday meeting every third month in Raleigh. He should know in 
a couple of days. Thanks to Alex for the help with Raleigh meeting space.

As usual, the topic is up to you. If you have something to present, 
sound off.

If there's anything I can do to help make sure the meeting happens,
I'm right here across the street from the usual NCSU locale.

I'm working on some Twisted stuff and Pyramid stuff, I'd be happy to
present either (votes as to which?)

be interesting to hear about some real world usage.

Josh Johnson will talk about work he has been doing with Twisted and

After TriLUG, we typically go to Ba-Da Wings. It's right around the 
corner from Centennial Campus, at the Mission Valley shopping center. 
Here's a page with more info:
http://barflyraleigh.com/THEBARatBaDaWings

Note that Thursdays are $2.50 for any draft beer. They have great 
selection for such a tiny bar. I think they have about 20 taps and most 
of them are microbrew and many of them are local.

It's also a favorite hangout for many folks from RedHat. They often have 
a table there on Thursday nights. When the weather is warm, there's also 
fairly plentiful outdoor seating.

Kind regards,
Justis

Works for me.

I guess since it's a wings place, there's always celery for the vegan 
option.

Rumor has it beer does not contain animal products ;)  Just avoid any
honey ales, we don't want to reward the enslavement of our bee
brethren.

The sizable TriZPug that does not consume meat or alcohol is going to

Hey folks-

I wanted to let you know that there's a content (and potentially
coding, if enough folks are interested!) sprint planned for the
soon-to-be-launched Triangle Wiki happening on the 25th.  Here's some
info on the Triangle Wiki effort:

http://trianglewiki.org (and a nice writeup in the Cary Citizen here:

You can RVSP to the event on the 25th here:
http://citycampral.org/2012/02/triangle-wiki-call-for-contributors/

You can jump into the site with the login "triangle" and password "research".

The LocalWiki software is written in Python on the Django framework.
More info here: http://localwiki.org and dev info here:

I have a great 5-10 hours/month opportunity with someone with decent software development skills. I work with a company called Leaflight, who handles the acceptance of SNAP (Food Stamps) and Credit Cards at a large percentage of the farmers? markets in the state. It?s a good organization that?s been around for about 10 years now and is run my great people that truly care about helping people eat well and eat local, no matter what their socioeconomic background. 

This past year I built a web frontend/portal system for them (Django, MySQL, etc) that allows Farm Market managers to submit sales (token receipts) online, instead of having to fill out a paper form. This system works very well, and they?d like to expand on it, as well as taking on additional opportunities, such as mobile client development and development of a client on a cutting edge POS (point of sale) platform. I?ve been responsible for helping them out on the technology side for the past year, but unfortunately, I can?t commit the time I?d like to the project anymore as my growing business is consuming pretty much all of it. 

This is a great opportunity for anyone would like to put their skills to a very worthwhile use, as well as picking up new and interesting technology along the way. As I said before, the time commitment is rather minimal (5-10 hours per month I?d estimate). It is a volunteer position, and the ideal candidate would have a few years of development under his or her belt, along with being a self-learner/self-starter. Python/Django experience is welcome, but not required (you'd be free to use any technology you want for anything else but this one existing project). 

If you?re interested, email me personally at robbyd at paramise.com 

Thanks!

I would also be happy to give a short lightning talk on the deeper
meaning of "pythonic" and its implications for you and your projects.
As a teaser, I will also play devil's advocate and explain how some
things that are painful in python follow fairly directly from it.

That sounds great.

(Can't wait to find out what's painful in Python. :)

The 14th Python Game Programming Challenge (PyWeek) is coming. It'll
run from the 22nd to the 29th of April.

   http://pyweek.org/14/

New user registration is NOT YET OPEN. It will open one month before
the challenge starts.

The PyWeek challenge:

- Invites entrants to write a game in one week from scratch either as
an individual or in a team,
- Is intended to be challenging and fun,
- Will hopefully increase the public body of game tools, code and expertise,
- Will let a lot of people actually finish a game, and
- May inspire new projects (with ready made teams!)

If you're in the US and can make it I'm co-presenting a 3 hour pygame
tutorial at PyCon in March.

Although I can't take this opportunity, I'd like to endorse it. The 
ability to accept SNAP at farmer's markets has some far reaching effects 
in nutritional health and transportation energy savings. I hope somebody 
in our group answers this call.

Thanks Chris, 

I've posted this opportunity on this list as well as a few others and have a number of people interested. 

Very appreciative of the generosity of the community for a worthwhile cause like this!

Message-ID: <CAFXt1kduCmAibDJB_L0Gf7i1O8Gts9NX-Bw4nOhdQvCFaJjuLw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

Thanks for the invitation to do an impromptu lightning talk last night on
the Triangle Wiki project (https://trianglewiki.org/).  As I mentioned,
it's a citizen-led effort to document everything that's cool about the
Triangle area, using the Django-based LocalWiki software (
http://localwiki.org/).

We're having an event tomorrow in preparation for our official launch, and
we'd love to have some Python programmers there to help us polish the
software, fix bugs, or implement features.  You might find something you'd
like to work on here:
https://guide.localwiki.org/Bugs_and_Feature_Requests_for_Localwiki

[We'd also love to have you participate as a photographer, writer, or in
any other capacity.  :-) ]

The event details are as follows:


   - Date: Saturday, Feb 25, 2012
   - Time: 9:30am to Afternoon
   - Location: Red Hat headquarters, 1801 Varsity Drive
   - Parking: The parking deck gate should be open
   - More information:
   http://citycampral.org/2012/02/triangle-wiki-call-for-contributors/

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  I'll be at the
event on Saturday, and I'd love to have some other programmers there, too!

Jason Horne
