Message-ID: Hi Stephen, nice effort coordinating BayPIGgies members for the train ride. I contacted Amtrak and obtained for all PyCon attendees a discount code. Betsy in Operations for the PSF added it to the PyCon Traveling To webpage. The code is X28B-949 has been activated for May 28, 2016 ? June 05,2016. Travel dates are three days prior to the convention start date and three days following the last day of the conference. Conference attendees who mention this code when making reservations will receive a 10% savings off the lowest available rail fare. Also, I'm putting on a combined local Python user group happy hour on May 30th, at Simple's HQ in the Clay Creative building. Joe Lewis of Portland Python kindly arranged Simple to host. I'm working on obtaining beer from Lagunitas for us. Also I'm soliciting some of the past sponsors of my group in Seattle PuPPy for sponsorship of food. Looking forward to meeting BayPIGgies in Portland. Please stop by PuPPy's booth in the community sponsor section! ?

Work on a project, get help with your Python code, or just socialize! UPDATE: We've added an introduction to the Django framework. This isn't a full class like the DjangoGirls tutorials (those take 1-2 full days), but it will give you a general understanding of what Django is, how Django works, and what it's used for. We'll try and have a more thorough class another time. OUR NEW SCHEDULE 11:15-12:15 Code and Coffee Drink Coffee, Eat Snacks, and socialize. Get help with your work and ask questions! 12:15-2:00 Introduction to Django Learn about the Django Framework. What is it? How does it work? What is it good for? Our speaker is James Bennett, core Django Committer, and a member of the Django Software Foundation Board of Directors. Location: This event is on the Stanford campus, inside Arrillaga Dining Commons. Go through the main entrance. The classroom will be on your left as you enter (by the base of the stairs). Parking: Parking is free on weekends in lot L-63: https://goo.gl/maps/pTpstA8CWED2 There is handicap parking directly in front of the building. Public Transit: The nearest Caltrain stations are Palo Alto and California Ave. You can either take a bus from the station or walk. The Stanford ?Marguerite? shuttles (unlike city busses) are free! If you get hungry (and snacks aren't enough), there's a cafeteria upstairs that serves brunch until 2pm.

The original source of what you shared as "AES-1" and discussion can be found here: http://brandon.sternefamily.net/2007/06/aes-tutorial-python-implementation/ The initialization vector used by the script is random, so I set it to [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0] for testing purposes (and compared that to openssl with the same IV and using OFB mode. Still haven't had any luck reproducing the operating mode of this script in such a way as to be able to decrypt the output of one with the other.

Use something else (e.g. PyCrypto). More detail: In encryption mode, pyAES hashes the key using SHA256, then uses that key plus a pseudorandom initialization vector to encode the given data into 16 byte blocks. The IV is written, followed by the encoded blocks, followed by padding with encoded bytes signifying the unusued length of the final block (if the final block is full, you'll get a pad of 16 bytes of 0x10, encoded. If it is not full, the remaining bytes are padded the same way). Decoding is an inverse of encoding. Packing the IV like this isn't problematic if you remember to strip that out before decoding. Likewise, the padding can be stripped out (though to me that seems risky as you know the final byte must always be in the range [0x01...0x10]). I compared PyCrypto, OpenSSL (as shown below), and pyAES. PyCrypto agreed with OpenSSL and produced the same ciphertext. pyAES does not. The PyCrypto code I used to test this is as follows: import hashlib from Crypto.Cipher import AES if __name__ == "__main__": message = "0123456789ABCDEF" password = 'test' sha256 = hashlib.sha256() sha256.update(password) key = sha256.digest() IV = '\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0' print("key="+''.join("{:02x}".format(ord(c)) for c in key)) print("iv ="+''.join("{:02x}".format(ord(c)) for c in IV)) obj = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_OFB, IV) ciphertext = obj.encrypt(message) print "["+",".join("{:02x}".format(ord(c)) for c in ciphertext)+"]" obj2 = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_OFB, IV) print obj2.decrypt(ciphertext) * Note: PyCrypto 2.6.1 has a bug wherein OFB mode incorrectly errors out if the message length is not one of a few specific size multiples. This was corrected a couple of years ago but PyCrypto 2.7.x has yet to be released (!). You can build and install from source to work around this problem.

Python is the core language in which the backend is written. It uses Django, DRF, ZMQ, Web sockets and a few other technologies to put together a robust and extensible file storage platform. The bird's eye view of Rockstor is that it's one of many NAS (Network Attached Storage) solutions in the market, but on closer examination, users appreciate cool features based on BTRFS, Docker and Linux in general that are implemented using Python and Javascript. In the talk, I'll go over various components and how they are put together, how our open source community came together and continues to thrive and grow. I'll also go over how we use Python in our release management to help us release frequently and continue to develop at a good clip, with a lean team. If time permits, I'll share the details of my ongoing experience of starting an open source project and being a maintainer and community developer. Speaker Bio Suman is a Software Engineer, FOSS advocate and a Linux head. He has developed predominantly in Python over the years from webservices to fun little tools. He received a Bachelors degree from Eastern Michigan University and a Masters degree from Standford University, both in Computer Science. His academic focus was in AI, while in the industry he worked on projects predominantly in the Cloud Services domain. He started the Rockstor open source project in 2013 to create a solid Linux based FOSS storage platform for advanced home users and businesses. In three years, the Rockstor community has grown to attract thousands of active users all over the world with 16 code contributors and counting. Meetup available to register BayPiggies has a group on meetup.com: http://www.meetup.com/BAyPIGgies/. Please RSVP at: http://www.meetup.com/BAyPIGgies/events/228208966. The more people that RSVP, the more newcomers will be interested in attending (no one likes being the first one at a party). Thanks!

Message-ID: I just finished writing spy611.com which is a web-app with a Python scikit-learn machine learning back-end. The site uses Logistic Regression and Naive Bayes to predict the S & P 500. It looks like Logistic Regression works better than Naive Bayes. The web tier is written in Rails 5 which might not be as good as Django but can get the job done.

I work at Sandstorm nowadays, and we make an open source, self-hostable alternative to Google Docs/Google Apps For Work. It's based heavily on a now-widely-used security architecture called object-capability security. Drew is giving a talk about the what & how of object capabilities in Python library at PyCon, and he'll also talk about it at an upcoming Sandstorm meetup. So I'd love to see Baypiggies in attendance! Location: San Francisco: ThoughtWorks, 814 Mission St, 5th Floor, San Francisco, CA Date & Time: Thursday, June 16, 2016, 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM RSVP here: (free) http://www.meetup.com/Sandstorm-SF-Bay-Area/events/231065150/ Details follow. Thanks! Join us for a talk from Sandstorm core dev Drew Fisher about an object-oriented programming inspired technique for designing secure systems called object-capability security. Drew's talk will be followed by a Q&A session with opportunities to chat with Sandstorm's community before and after. *Designing secure systems with Object-Capabilities, Python, and Cap'n Proto by Drew Fisher. * Object-capability security is a technique for designing systems that lets us apply object-oriented design principles to security policies, reducing cognitive overhead and risk of errors that lead to vulnerabilities. In this talk, Drew will explain capabilities, how they work, and what cool things they make possible for your systems, with real-world examples from Sandstorm.io. This talk will demonstrate implementing a trivial remote 4-function calculator server with pycapnp (a library which provides Python bindings for Cap'n Proto), and then show how you might implement more complicated services, like the ones we use in Sandstorm.io for file access and HTTP. To read more about capability-based security: https://sandstorm.io/how-it-works#capabilities To read more on Cap'n Proto: https://capnproto.org/ Hope to see you there! *Schedule:* 6:00PM - Dinner and socializing 7:30PM - Featured talk by Drew Fisher 7:50PM - Q&A -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Suman Chakravartula is giving the talk, about Rockstor , a personal cloud server. We could use some volunteers to make sure everything runs smoothly. I think we need the following: - A few people to sit near the back of the room and act as "greeters" before the meeting. The idea is to make sure any new people (or people looking a little lost) feel welcome. - A few people to take turns grabbing any stragglers after the meeting has started. I think the security guard goes away around 8, so we'll need to let people in ourselves. Anything else I'm missing? Please feel free to step up! Grant, if you are coming, can you get take an attendance count, as you have done the last several months? Thanks Please let me know if you can help out. We appreciate it!

A majority of people had to turn around and go home. The root cause: A Shoreline Concert. See the comments on the MeetUp link: http://www.meetup.com/BAyPIGgies/events/228208966/ This isn't the first time we've had a concert cause us trouble. But, this is the first time it hit us as hard as this. I missed checking the concert schedule and warning people in advance if there was a conflict. However, even when we warn people in advance -- and remind them -- it's still difficult traffic and some people are still forced to be late. The 28-July talk, Python on the Raspberry PI, will also be at the same time as a concert. I see we have a few decisions to make. We should also work with the speaker, Peter, to confirm these decisions. However, I'd like to ask for feedback. Feel free to respond in-line. Q1: Should we: * Stay with the 28-July date. It's tradition. It's less confusing since it's always the fourth Thursday of the month? * Should we move the date to another Thursday (details addressed in another question)? Q2: Should we: * Possibly move to the week before: 21-July? * Possibly move to the week after: 4-Aug? My vote is 21-July because it's still the "July Meeting" and less confusing. Grant, could you confirm there are no other concert conflicts with these days? Again, I need to confirm availability with Peter. No decision is made in this email. Although, we may decide in a follow-up email with the same subject. We are only asking for your feedback. This is *your* group and we want your input.

No beginning programmers please, but you can certainly be new to Python. If you are a bit rusty at programming, you might be more comfortable in an evening course that meets once a week so you have some time to absorb the concepts. You'll find those at the same url. Also, there are online classes so that you can study at your own pace. This one: http://course.ucsc-extension.edu/modules/shop/index.html?action=section&OfferingID=1531625&SectionID=5278449 officially starts on July 21 but you can start as early as June 17 and have a head start. The online classes allow you plenty of time to complete the material, and I'll be there encouraging you and answering your questions. ---- All our Python courses are hands-on with short lectures, and lots of relevant exercises, and, we study the solutions after some lab time. Questions are always welcome; discussion and pair-programming are encouraged. Please come, and send students!
