Message-ID: <89d8b1b00909030640g5d2c4811k1236c2983fd0a0cf@mail.gmail.com> It still seems like it's a long way away, but after we all get through the long weekend and start saying our goodbyes to summer, the first COhPy meeting will only be three weeks away. James (I don't have your last name) from Atlantix volunteered to present on using Python with COM/OLE and Excel, as well as maybe some Numpy material. I think we should take him up on that, if he still wants to do it (James?). There were a number of people who asked about getting time for doing some lightning talks, which I think is a great idea. I suspect we have a lot of members and potential members who are not the most comfortable of public speakers, but who might volunteer if they know something about X, and everyone is asking for a presentation on X. So, I'm not even asking for anyone to volunteer and present (yet). Please, just let the list know what you are interested in seeing and doing. Otherwise, poor Eric's going to have to talk the whole time.

OLF is a fantastic event every year, covering Linux and all other forms of free software. This year looks better than ever, with some special speakers and a whole cloud of associated events. Please help get the word out... The deadline to register for the Supporter, Quick Start, and Professional Pass is this Friday (September 18) at noon. Even if you just want a (free) Enthusiast's pass, you help the organizers plan and attract sponsorship - making a better event for everybody. ALSO, PyOhio is going to have a table in the exhibitor's area, and COHPy is *more* than welcome to help make use of the space. Think of it as our all-purpose "Python is awesome" table. Hang around the table and schmooze about Python with people. Bring your ideas for cool things to show / do / give out there. Hope to see you there! http://ohiolinux.org -- - Catherine http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.com/ From eric at intellovations.com Tue Sep 22 22:19:00 2009 From: eric at intellovations.com (Eric Floehr) Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:19:00 -0400 Subject: [CentralOH] Reminder: Central Ohio Python Users Group Meeting Monday Message-ID: <34f468870909221319v29feef9ekc487ee13061624d7@mail.gmail.com> All, The date of the inaugural Central Ohio Python User's Group meeting is this Monday, September 28, at 6:30pm!? If you haven't already, head to the Meetup group and RSVP: http://www.meetup.com/Central-Ohio-Python-Users-Group/calendar/11111542/ At the meeting, Jon Miller will present "Introduction to Hadoop -- Driven by Python". This talk will be an overview of what Hadoop is, what it is good for and how you can drive your Map/Reduce jobs via Python. Map/Reduce is a powerful algorithm for distributed computing that was pioneered by Google. In addition to Jon, we will also have time for lightning talks and a group programming/problem-solving session. There is wifi at TechColumbus, so bring your laptops. Pop and snacks will be provided by Intellovations. See you there! Eric P.S. Our October meeting has also been scheduled for Monday, October 26, where James Bonanno of Atlantix Engineering will be talking about "Electronic Design Automation with Python". More details will follow...

While you really should go, if for some reason you can't, the Northeast Ohio Open Source Society has been going down to OLF and doing a live webcast from the floor for years. We don't webcast the talks, you should show up to see them, but we do chat with the speakers, vendors and other people of interest. This year we've already got a number of people scheduled, including Vern Ceder at 11am and Catherine when she gets around to abandoning the PyOhio booth for a little while.

CodeMash is a nice conference held every January at the Kalahari waterpark in Sandusky. It's mostly (~65%) .NET folks, but they're the cool .NET kids - the ones who like open-source, learning dynamic languages, using agile techniques, etc. The other ~35% is Ruby / Python / Java / Groovy / Scala / etc. (It's always been easy to spend the whole conference seeing Python talks almost exclusively - not that you necessarily should - cross-pollination is the point.) - Speakers get free admission - Great place to bring your family (they even do an awesome childcare / education program) - Waterpark. January. As if you had better plans. I'm going to submit my reStructuredText talk from Ohio LinuxFest today. http://codemash.org/ Oh, and speaking of impending deadlines - PyCon's deadline is tomorrow, too. You could submit the same talk to both places and use CodeMash to polish off any rough edges. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jim Holmes Date: Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 8:43 AM Subject: More Python!

We had 27 people attend, and about 5 more who would have but couldn't due to either illness or holiday (I apologize for scheduling the meeting on the day of the most important Jewish religious observance, and the Hindu Dussehra). We receive several awesome Python books donated to the group (thanks O'Reilly and PyOhio). We raffled one of the books and will (for now) keep the others as a group reference. I'll be sure to bring them to the meetings. Jon Miller gave the inaugural talk. He talked about using Python with Hadoop to do distributed processing, and shared a real-world example. I don't think we could have asked for a better inaugural COhPy talk (thanks Jon!!) There were a lot of good questions and some very good discussions afterward. Thanks so much to everyone who attended and helped make the kickoff of COhPy such a success! I look forward to seeing everyone in October. Here were some links that were discussed in the meeting: PyOhio: http://www.pyohio.org The PyOhio talks: http://pyohio09.blip.tv/ A link to the slides of the presentation: http://jonebird.com/hadoop_intro.pdf Our next meeting is **Monday, October 26 at 6:30pm at TechColumbus**. James Bonanno of Atlantix Engineering will be talking about "Electronic Design Automation with Python", including integrating with COM, Excel, and Mentor Graphics. Please RSVP at: http://www.meetup.com/Central-Ohio-Python-Users-Group/calendar/11426002/ Thanks so much, thanks for the feedback, and I hope to have some ideas to discuss at this meeting regarding format/topics/activities based on the feedback you provided. See you in October!

We won't be having a December meeting because of the holidays, so we have a couple of good options for November: Monday, November 23 which is the week of Thanksgiving Monday, November 30 which is the Monday immediately following Thanksgiving and finally Monday, December 7, which might be the best option. I'm leaning towards December 7, but would like to hear opinions either way.
