Hi Kausikram, I am sorry that I am not able to do anything about this. There are many factors involved, and for now I am able to schedule this only on a Sunday. In the future, we will probably have meetings over Slack, may be then I can schedule this on a Friday evening.

Hi Krithika, Are you going to be talking about deploying a simple application on GAE as well? That would be nice. Also, A small request would be to continue to reply within the email chain itself and not send a new email. We have listed some mailing list guidelines on our website[1]. Please do go through that.

Sounds good. I would suggest that you spice up the talk by adding a personal dimension to it: 1. An application that you built using Google App Engine. 2. Or difficulties you faced while learning / using Google App Engine. 3. Or gotchas that you want new people to watch out for.

This time RSVP hit was 128. Good too see lot of people came. Vijay started with Introduction about the meetup. Vijay this time used slides for meetup agenda. Vijay explained clearly that meetup won't teach python but it gives pointers to various topic in python and how they used. So he insisted everyone to note down what they don't understand in a talk and Google it to learn that. ## Automating testing using selenium As usual vengats favorite topic automating software's using python. He gave a talk on how they used selenium to upload Interview test exercise to cloud coder. He faced a problem that cloud coder has no element ID to locate elements. He solved it using xpath. ## Data Science 101 Gaurav gave a talk on How pandas numpy and scylearn is used in data science. He analyzed various data based on Titanic disaster data. If i am right he uploaded the code to [kaggle](http://www.kaggle.com) to know how much accurate his prediction. ## Building Git From Scratch Vijaykumar built a tiny git and showed us how git works. In fact the talk gave a broad view of how version control system works. He incrementally explained the implementation of tiny git He changed the actual git command to tig (the reverse of it :-)) He stopped the talk at version 2 of tiny-git and left it to audience to read themselves. His git repository for tiny git [Tiny GIT](https://github.com/bravegnu/tiny-git) ## The beauty that is PostgreSQL - Part 1 Shrayas and Karthick gave a combined presentation on PostgresSQL. First Karthick gave his presentation on how rows are inserted in to PostgresSQL DB. He explained python code snippets for PostgressSQL queries. Next Shrayas explained Why we should use PostgreSQL. The interesting thing is how he is developing such a wonderful presentation. I was amazed to see the templates he used for his presentation. He explained the simply city and speed of postgreSQL DB. He compared it with traditional database like MySQL. Regards Rengaraj -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Regards, Vijay From ananthrk at gmail.com Wed Aug 26 06:53:05 2015 From: ananthrk at gmail.com (AnanthRK) Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2015 10:23:05 +0530 Subject: [Chennaipy] August meetup - Minutes Message-ID: The August edition of the ChennaiPy meetup had around 103 members RSVP for participation in the Meetup page. Vijaykumar kickstarted the proceedings by welcoming everyone and outlining the agenda for the evening. *Introduction to GeoJson and GeoDjango* Shrinidhi Kulkarni started his talk by providing an outline of how maps are organized and the three major components that make up any Geo application - a Map provider, a JS library and a Geo-aware database. He went onto demonstrate various features of the Leaflet JS library that includes initializing a map, adding various shapes, tagging, filtering properties, etc. The server side was written using GeoDjango and he managed to provide a quick walk through of some key features such as the models.PointField and the ability to query geo fields. He closed the talk by listing some practical problems faced in building his project and workarounds for the same. Though the talk ran over the allotted time, it was well received by the audience judging by the follow-up discussions during the break. *Paho Python client for MQQT* The next talk was by Shakthi Kannan, a Free Software enthusiast and a well-known face in the Chennai opensource space. Though the talk was originally scheduled for the next edition of the meetup, a last minute reorg helped the team to sneak in this talk in the current edition itself (to everyone's delight, if I may add!). Even though Shakthi started with requesting everyone to read the MQQT protocol docs for the details, he provided a good overview of the protocol and its high-level architecture thus providing a good background that made the rest of his talk easier to follow. He went onto explain the steps involved in installing and testing an open-source MQQT broker - Mosquitto. Finally the same tests were demonstrated using the Paho python client. He closed his talk with lot of references for further reading. The tea break, with refreshments sponsored by Zilogic Systems, was abuzz with lot of small groups busy in spontaneous discussions. *Introduction to Google App Engine* Krithika Vembu, inspired from the previous meetups, gave her first-ever talk in the meetup. She gave an overview of Cloud-based architecture, its advantages and the distinguishing aspects of a specific provider - the Google App Engine. Though she was apologetic about not having live demos, her enthusiasm to participate in the community and coming forward to speak in front of an audience was applauded by everyone. Here is to more talks from her in the future! *Towards probabilistic programming in Python* This talk by Prof. Ronojoy Adhikari introduced everyone to a new way of dealing with the complexity of implementing large scale inference engines by making use of first-class abstractions about the randomness. There was a live demo of Lea, a blackbox inference engine, showcasing ways in which the randomness was modeled in popular problems such as throwing a dice, flipping a coin, etc. (The program could have done a better job of predicting rains in Chennai though, as it was raining on the morning of the meetup! :) ) One came away with lot of motivation to explore the area further. Vijaykumar concluded the meeting with announcements on the preparations for the PyCon Chennai conference and by thanking the participants, speakers, volunteers, IMSc and the sponsors. Overall an evening well spent! Thanks, Ananth -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The 700th user is Richard http://www.meetup.com/Chennaipy/members/184718092/ Many people who have joined us, generally cite, that they were referred to Chennaipy by a colleague or a friend. I would like to take this moment to thank all those anonymous people who have helped spread the word and have contributed to the growth of Chennaipy. BTW, while size of the group is important, I guess it is secondary to other growth indicators. And I should say that we have really grown in terms of our volunteer base, the maturity of our meetups, how we organize ourselves and the diversity of the topics that we discuss. We deserve a pat on the back! Hope we will continue to grow and become better in the days to come.
