Can you publicize our upcoming ACM event on multimedia websites?
Thanks.
Related to your Thursday meeting:
I will also try to attend this Thursdays' ChiPy.
If I have some time, which may not happen, I could try to add to your
language comparison with C#.

Creating a Top Ranked Multimedia Blog and Web Site
Jason Heath 1/14/09
Doublebass Blog www.doublebassblog.org
http://contrabassconversations.com/
Come to our January 14, 2009 meeting to see how a person with a vision found
the technology to realize his ideas that have made his site,
doublebassblog.org #10 in the Top 51 Classical Music Sites according to the
site Musical Perceptions using the Technorati ranking method.
The presentation will tell you how Jason used Web 2.0 technologies to
educate, entertain and inform a growing audience about his favorite subject,
the double bass.
Jason's' site, started as a service for his students, is a true multimedia
site with articles, blogs, videos and extensive audio interviews with over a
hundred internationally known jazz and classical bassists.
With only the typical tech background of an arts student, Jason has since
mastered the tools for podcasting, typography, and photography through such
tools as Photoshop, Wordpress, PodPress, Skype, and various audio equipment
and software.
Jason is involved with every part of the site from content, interviews,
advertising, system maintenance and choosing web hosting services. Jason
will show us that quality writing and knowing your audience, along with
presentation, is the critical element in a successful website. With that
success, has come musical recognition, teaching opportunities and income
from advertising and sales of site-related merchandise.
Make sure that you read the article or listen to the podcast, My Car Caught
Fire and Exploded! , which is available on the web or can be downloaded to
your phone!
Jason Heath is an active double bass performer, educator, blogger, and
podcaster. His blogging and podcasting has been featured in the New Yorker,
International Musician, Double Bassist Magazine, The Engaging Brand, and the
Adjunct Advocate. He is on the board of directors for the International
Society of Bassists, a member of the blogging network Inside the Arts, and
is a staff writer for Bass Musician Magazine.

If you wish to do a short comparison of Python and some other language (not
already assigned on http://chipy.org) please have your submission in today
by 4pm. You can: email to the list, put it on the wiki yourself, or email me
off the list.
At that time, the announcement for our January meeting will go out to the
masses. We will leave just a couple more spots open for late submissions.
If you are listed as presenter, you will receive a separate email describing
the guidelines for presenting. It will include some
questions you must answer and the time frame for your presentation.
Do not start planning your presentation until you get this email, please.
At the end we will be voting on the best presentation and open the floor for
general discussion. Best presentation, not best language ;)
So far, as of 9:30 AM here is the list:
The Python Language Comparison Lighting Talks:
* C - Daniel Griffin
* tcl/tk [1]
* Logo - Ian Bicking
* Smalltalk -Ian Bicking
* Groovy - David Durham
* JAVA - Garrett Smith
* Ruby - Frederick Polgardy

I likely won't be able to watch it live, but if whoever owns the
chipy.blip.tv account posts it there I would definately check it out.

I was thinking about covering Clojure but I had no idea how to do so in 5
minutes, especially if I had to contrast it with Python the entire time.

The timeline will probably be longer than 5 min. More like 10-15 depending
on how many languages we end up with. We will keep things very high level
this time around. How is compiled / ran? Data types?
Who owns? OO features? Is it a standard or have a enhance process (like
PEPs)? Who uses? Standard Library Features? .... If there is interest in
one lighting talk we can roll it out as a full presentation in a future
ChiPy meeting.
Cosmin, so are you in?
