Hey everyone, I wanted to point out a couple of things about this event.
I'm not a ChiPy Organizer any more but I did confirm this information with
them before sending this out.

One, while some previous trainings have been to fund ChiPy, this one isn't,
nor is Brian a ChiPy sponsor. Most paid events advertised on the list
directly support ChiPy in some way, but this one doesn't.

Two, this event isn't endorsed or run by ChiPy, and isn't covered by the
ChiPy Code of Conduct, despite Brian historically being associated with
ChiPy, and it being advertised on this list.

Best,
Adam

I initiated this process when I was the Chair.

I mentioned before, "If you mention #ChiPy when you reserve a cash donation
will be made to the group."

*Where:*

Chicago, IL

*What:*

*Intro to SaltStack*
By: Erik Johnson
Experience Level: Novice
SaltStack is open-source software for modern IT automation. The project was
created in 2012 and today is used by tens of thousands of DevOps and
enterprise IT organizations to automate the management of data center
infrastructure and application environments. With its core remote-execution
functionality, it is flexible enough to run shell commands, perform
configuration management tasks, orchestration, and more. Erik Johnson, a
SaltStack core developer and Chicago-area native, will demo the basics of
how to get started using Salt, as well as how to use its powerful event bus
for automation tasks.
Data Classes in Python 3.7: Why and How do They Compare to Existing
Solutions?

*By: Brian Stempin , Yiu Ming Huynh*
Experience Level: Intermediate
Python prides itself on being a language where ?There should be one ? and
preferably only one ? obvious way to do it? (PEP 20). One place where this
isn?t really true is when it comes to the question of how to store data.
There are several options: dictionaries, tuples, named tuples, vanilla
Python classes, and Python classes decorated with the attrs library. PEP
557 adds a new way: Data classes. In this talk we will compare and contrast
each approach, give listeners a way to figure out which one is best for
their particular project, and share some performance metrics for those who
are concerned with speed and memory footprints.

Subject: [Chicago] Update to our code of conduct
Message-ID: <CACHxVRaMnmBCmn8UP4egFR6dEka16+kT2J4w+h3sccnQC2DJgA@mail.gmail.com>

*Fellow Pythonistas,I wanted to inform you all about a change the
organizers of ChiPy are taking on to our Code of Conduct. If you have been
a part of our community for a while, you may know that we have been using a
very slightly modified version of the PSF's code of conduct since 2014,
shortly after Brian Ray convened the organizing group. This version has
served our organization well over the last few years. That said, it has
recently been brought to the attention of the organizing group by some
organizers and members of the larger Chicago Python community that there
are some deficiencies that this code has in adequately providing a safe
space for all members. It was with sadness and disappointment that I have
begun to hear that there are those in our community that would not
recommend ChiPy to newcomers and have been steering people away from our
meetups. I have personally yet to find a group to be as welcoming as ChiPy
and have been happy and proud to call it home for the last 8 years, but I
am disheartened to learn that this has not been the experience for all
prospective new members. I feel that because Python is used in so many
different applications, ChiPy has been treated to one of the most diverse
sets of ideas and opportunities to lead conversations in developing
software. One key value in our meetup is the free exchange of these ideas
from many disciplines and if we can make everyone feel included in our
organization we will only add to that value. The other important value to
uphold is the friendliness and respect we treat one another with. This
positivity has been enshrined in the spirit of the group since its
inception, as well as promoted in our previous code of conduct. I have
absolute faith that we will never cease upholding this in our interactions
with one another, and in particular focusing on welcoming new members as
the group continues its incredible growth.I wanted to give special thanks
to Ray Berg and Anjali Deolapure for raising our awareness to the issues
with our previous code and perception of ChiPy among others and
spearheading the authorship of this code. They have worked tirelessly to
borrow pieces from Codes of Conduct from various other communities and have
drafted a document which they feel will serve our community best. They have
been inclusive in the crafting of this document and previewed the code to
solicit feedback and edits from PyLadies leadership, in particular, Lorena
Mesa and Sand Ip, as well as former ChiPy organizer, Tanya Schlusser who
were critical in making sure the document reflects the values of the entire
Chicago Python community.The idea to rewrite the code was presented to the
organizers in late May, and was debated on, including the need and
motivation to release a new version of the code. In mid June, Ray and
Anjali had drafted the code and presented to the PyLadies leadership and
other selected indivduals for comment. At the end of the June, the
organizers held a special meeting to adopt the code. A point that had been
made in our debate was how it was important to reflect on the perspectives
we all bring to the table. In that vein, I hope that we all feel empowered
in bringing our comments and critiques forward. We understand that this is
something new we are trying out and want to make sure it works for everyone
as we continue to revise this living document.The full text of the new
version of the code is posted at: http://www.chipy.org/pages/conduct/
<http://www.chipy.org/pages/conduct2/> and the repo it is hosted at is
here: https://github.com/chicagopython/code-of-conduct

Hi All,

The team at Software Testing Board organizes a monthly meetup where one of  
the testing professionals will talk about the new Testing Framework,  
Testing Strategy, any new Testing Tool or anything related to Software  
Testing.

These meetups are not tutorials or workshops. Just another tester is  
presenting you the new tools, framework or an idea they are working on. You  
can pick it up and explore it further. You can ask your questions to the  
presenters and they will try to answer with the best of their knowledge.  
You can even provide your feedback or suggestions for speakers or to us.

These live meetups are happening through YouTube and Google Hangout every  
4th Saturday of the month at 5:00 PM IST.

To join the upcoming meetup, go to YouTube and search "Software Testing  
Board". Click subscribe and press the bell icon to never miss a  
notification from us.

To know more about the meetup, check out About section of the channel.

If you have any questions, feel free to write back or connect with me on  
LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/theqaguy/)

Thank you,
Mayur Shah

Hey folks,

I just wanted to reach out to remind you all that *you have one week to get
in your applications* (both Mentor and Mentee) *for the Fall 2018 term of

can start the application.

*Applications will close at 11:59PM next Sunday, August 5th. *

You may not know, but this will be our eighth offering of the program! Wow!
We've had so many great folks come through the program, and we really want
to keep it going strong by having a great set of applicants. If you can
either apply as a Mentor or Mentee, we'd love to have you in our roster.
It's a totally free program, but only because we have some amazing

Please reach out in #mentorship-program on slack if you have any questions.
Good luck in your applications!

Respectfully,
Ray Berg

Hello Python people,

Two years ago, my profession changed, I had to do data science work. When I started it, I (though I knew Python) found it to be extremely difficult. I had these doubts: What to learn? Where to learn? am I doing things right? Were the questions that arose in my mind. I had no proper guide and it was pain.

So I wrote this book https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FYVTNX7 , a guide for those who would like to become Data Scientist. I have crystallized two years of my struggle and answers to it in this book. I hope this book would help you.

Hi Karthikeyan,

Thank you for your information and congrats for your efforts. I clicked the
link you shared above and visited the amazon page of the book. However, I
was unable to look at the first pages of the book. By the way, I am an
experienced Java developer and want to learn a different language such as
Python and Ruby, though, I didn't decided which one will be my next
platform. But, I like to study data science. I am planning to study the
topic three or four months later.
