[Chicago] last thursday's meeting

[sheila miguez]

I missed you guys last Thursday but I was still able to go to a good
python talk. Since erlang is popular where I work, I will try the
exercise Kumar pointed to me on writing something in both stackless
and erlang to compare the experience. This should be good since I am a
newbie at both.

My company sent me to JavaOne last week, and there were a number of
talks on jython/python. Not to mention a talk two of our guys gave
with a nod at the end towards graphite, which is a tool done by
someone in house that is now open source and which is built on python.
uses django, pypeD,... I am actually too ignorant to give any indepth
details so I'll stop here. Anyway, I love the tool and can show it in
action if anyone is curious.

One of the coolest talks I went to was not at JavaOne but at the
BayPiggies meeting thursday night. Christian Tismer gave a talk on
Stackless.

um, I'm back at work and have no time to finish this email properly.
