From gavin.jackson at gmail.com Wed Feb 3 17:20:42 2016 From: gavin.jackson at gmail.com (Gavin Jackson) Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2016 09:20:42 +1100 Subject: [Canberra-PUG] Feb CPUG meeting is tonight Message-ID: Hi All, A quick reminder that the first Canberra Python Users Group meeting will be held on Thursday 3 Feb, 6pm at the Peoplebank offices in civic. The first presentation of the year will be "Learn You a Flask" by Lachlan Blackhall (details below). I was lucky enough to see this excellent presentation at pyconau last year and am looking forward to seeing it again! Come and learn more about this popular python web microframework! Also, just noticed that the pyconau 2016 dates have been announced - 12-16 August, so make sure you mark it up in your diaries! Due to changes in the Google+ interface (eg removing the events functionality), I will be posting events to meetup.com from now on - the G+ community will still be used to share stuff (news, slides, articles etc.). Please sign up to the following group to receive future meeting invites: http://www.meetup.com/Canberra-Python-Meetup-Group/ If you are interested in speaking at a CPUG meeting in 2016 please drop me a line! Speakers receive a $50 gift card from Redhat (thanks Andrew!). Thanks again to David and his team at Peoplebank for generously providing pizza, beer and us of their boardroom for these monthly meetings. It is greatly appreciated!

It's an awesome conference that is definitely worth getting to if you are able - I've attended a few Django miniconfs and they are awesome too (last year I actually thought it rivalled the main conference - and I'm not even a django developer!).

Intro to Boto3 - using Amazon Web Services with Python - Jonathan Mettes BIO Jonathan is studying IT at ANU, and is a software developer at Geoscience Australia. Abstract Boto3 is the Amazon Web Services (AWS) SDK for Python SDK. AWS is a collection of cloud computing web services, that let you do things like store data and run virtual machines in the cloud. This talk will look at the basics of using the Boto3 SDK, while explaining some AWS concepts (such as EC2 & cloud-init, CloudFormation & Troposphere), and then run through a demonstration of using them.
