I had figured I'd talk about Fabric, and in doing so talk about the new changes to it that'll be rolling out in the next few weeks. It'll be hitting 1.0, and at 1.1 it'll have my parallel execution branch merged in, barring any huge complications. Any windows users feel free to test this out btw. In talking about those I'll hit python in general, bash scripting, multiprocessing, and some ssh. So it's a general hodge podge of stuff to play with. If anyone wants to see specific stuff automated, let me know and I'll work something out. goose On Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 04:02:27PM -0500, Issac Kelly wrote: > I think it's Morgan!

We are having a PGP Signing Party on January 13, 2011 and everyone is invited. This will be where people can show up and have other people in the area verify who you are and sign your PGP key if they choose to. We'll try to follow this form of a PGP signing party: http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/keysigning_party/en/keysigning_party.html#traditional Basic Information: What: PGP Signing Party Who: Ohio State Open Source Club Where: Dreese Laboratories DL 264 ( 2015 Neil Ave, Columbus, Ohio ) When: 8:00PM-ish - January 13th, 2011 We will have the PGP signing party after our regularly scheduled meeting. Our regularly scheduled meetings start at 7:00PM and usually last about an hour or two. Our topic for that night will be GIMP. Also we usually have pizza sometime between 7:30PM and 8:30PM depending on when there is a good 'break' point in the presentation. If you have any questions please feel free to respond back and I can answer most questions. Also if you would like to contact us a bit faster or want to contact multiple people from the club as well; we have an IRC presence. We are in #osu_osc on irc.freenode.net More information about our club: http://opensource.osu.edu/ I know this is a little off-topic, however, I recall having a few security discussions about PGP and others at a few COhPy meetings and at PyOhio and I'm pretty sure at least a few people on here would enjoy the PGP signing party.

(AUDIENCE GASPS) Fortunately, everything you need is right here: PyCon 2011, March 9-17: http://us.pycon.org Register: https://www.cteusa.com/pycon4/ Tutorial list: http://us.pycon.org/2011/schedule/lists/tutorials/ Talk list: http://us.pycon.org/2011/schedule/lists/talks/ Hotel reservation: https://www.cteusa.com/pycon4/ Also, keep in mind that, for the first time ever, we've had to place a cap of 1500 on PyCon registration. Delaying too long won't just cause you to miss the early-bird discount, it might make you miss PyCon altogether. While there might be a certain historical thrill in being able to say, "Yes, I was one of the people turned away from the world's first sold-out PyCon"... no, don't do that. Please forward this notice in Python-related groups and mailing lists you belong to. How will you live with yourself if a friend misses PyCon because you didn't tell them? -- - Catherine http://catherinedevlin.blogspot.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My time to learn it is pretty limited, though, so I was hoping to be able to get a sit down with someone who was already proficient, and hack together on a sample site. I figure that'll move me past a couple weeks of solo-hacking time. I'm about an hour out from Columbus, so we'd need to schedule something around my free times to travel.

Atlantix has developed a PySide framework somewhat akin to Django, but targeted for GUI apps built with PySide (formerly PyQt.) After developing several internal GUI's for various applications, it became apparent that a framework was needed that has the basic ingredients: File pull down menu with various options, Project pull down with various options, and an About pull down. In addition, there are auto functions which parse a .UI file and convert the .UI to .py for PySide. In addition, a whole graphics sub framework has been developed using Qwidget generic classes that enable interactive plotting to Matplotlib, however, without the expense and overhead of Matplotlib. Often, Matplotlib is touted as such a great program, and it truly does have value. But we have found that it has serious drawbacks when incorporating into GUI's and the consequent effects on speed and reliability. Let alone that Matplotlib is a show stopper when it comes to creating .exe versions of GUI's. Atlantix looks forward to competing with such products as Camelot (www.python-camelot.com) and other frameworks.

On behalf of the Python Software Foundation?s sponsored sprint group, I wanted to drop your group a quick note introducing us. If you?re already familiar with our sponsored sprints, you?ll be happy to know we made a few changes to help both sprint groups and Python even more. The PSF recently set aside funding to be distributed to groups who spend time contributing to the Python ecosystem, often in the form of development sprints. Our goal is to help you help Python, so whether it?s buying meals or renting meeting space for your all-day hackathon, we have a budget set aside to reimburse your expenses up to $300 (up from $250). If your goal is to make the Python world a better place, and you work on the problems facing Python today, we want to help you. We?re looking for groups of hackers that spend their time fixing and expanding the wide variety of Python interpreters, libraries, tools, and anything else affecting the community. We?re also looking for groups who want to help and get started but don?t have the resources to get together. Whether your group is separated by a train ride or lacking a shared space, we want to help you. On-boarding new contributors to open source Python projects is an especially important area that we?d like to work with. This means if you have a Python project and you want to sprint -- we want to help you. Some sprints we?ve sponsored include the porting of Genshi to Python 3, improvements to packaging (Distribute/distutils), and most recently, the PyPy winter sprint in Switzerland. If your group is interested in hosting a sprint, check out the full details of our call for applications at http://www.pythonsprints.com/cfa/ and contact us at sprints at python.org.

In addition, there are auto functions which parse a .UI file and convert the .UI to .py for PySide. In addition, a whole graphics sub framework has been developed using Qwidget generic classes that enable interactive plotting to Matplotlib, however, without the expense and overhead of Matplotlib. Often, Matplotlib is touted as such a great program, and it truly does have value. But we have found that it has serious drawbacks when incorporating into GUI's and the consequent effects on speed and reliability. Let alone that Matplotlib is a show stopper when it comes to creating .exe versions of GUI's. > > Atlantix looks forward to competing with such products as Camelot (www.python-camelot.com) and other frameworks. > > Thanks, > > James > > _______________________________________________ > CentralOH mailing list > CentralOH at python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/centraloh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Overall, I am much encouraged by PySide, as it works just as well or essentially the same as PyQt and does not have any licensing issues for those wishing to develop & sell software.
