Also, found the init.d startup script for supervisord and got that working. Still playing around some with supervisorctl, but I think this is going to work.

Ideally, a small number of sensible and socially-conscious folks from remote corners of the triangle will help us capture the whole region well. This map will be shared on shareable.net's stories about the event and will be included in stories about 25 similar maps being built around the nation. We'll have some dinner and maybe beer, too, if the mood strikes." Robert is also looking for suggestions of people to invite to this.

Thanks to Jessica McKellar for really bringing in the troops. And thanks to everyone who came out for a fine evening. In case you missed it, here is a Jessica's talk from last night, "How the Internet Works," as it was presented at the most recent PyCon: http://pyvideo.org/video/1677/how-the-internet-works Also, here is the preview of the upcoming new python.org Jessica alluded to, and like she was suggesting, yeah, it's going to be all that: http://preview.python.org/ Huge thanks to Jim Allman and Brad Oaks for providing Jessica's transportation from and back to the All Things Open (ATO) conference in Raleigh. There were a lot of people from TriPython at that conference and from all reports, it was a really worthwhile experience. It was also reported that plans for next year's ATO in Raleigh are already underway. There was some discussion at the after-meeting for making a stronger Python presence at ATO and so next year, who knows, maybe we'll get a booth. More thanks to Alan Viars and Erik Rose for great lightning talks. Alan went into some of the details used to power his Restcat product which provides a RESTFul API for MongoDB: http://www.videntity.com/ http://restcatdocs.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html Erik entertained us with his Blessings library, which is an easy answer for using curses-style terminal manipulation with Python: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/blessings/1.5.1 -- 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 cshicks71 at gmail.com Sat Oct 26 04:23:56 2013 From: cshicks71 at gmail.com (Scott Hicks) Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2013 22:23:56 -0400 Subject: [TriZPUG] MetLife TechJam In-Reply-To: <52698636.3000708@unc.edu> References: <52698636.3000708@unc.edu> Message-ID: Hi Chris, Is Vivek working at MetLife or is he just a member of TriPython? I am interested in opportunities at MetLife and would like to talk with him if he has some knowledge of their expansion in Cary.
