Subject: [melbourne-pug] Next meeting: Tuesday 11th August
Message-ID: <52C2185D-9766-472C-960E-E84C09D0FE8D@gmail.com>

Thanks everyone who turned up on the rather nasty night last night.

I'd like to propose we gather again on the second Tuesday of August,  
the 11th. I'm volunteering to present "Adventures in IronPython" which  
promises to be both educational and entertaining.

Venue to be determined... We'll need to have the next meeting  
somewhere we can have a projector. The criteria are, in a rough order  
of importance:

1. projector-friendly (or installed!)
2. in the CBD or at a pinch reasonably close to the CBD
3. liquid refreshments
4. food

Suggestions? I've heard the Redback but it's a bit of a hike out of  
the CBD.

I'd like to meet on the second Tuesday of every even month from now  
on. I believe that doesn't conflict with any existing user group. I am  
aware of:

- LUV (first Tuesday of each month)
- Melbourne PerlMongers (second Wednesday of each month)
- Melbourne X Users Group (third Wednesday of each month)
- Melbourne PHP Users Group (not sure)
- ??

I'm also interested in trying to get the word out wider, so if you're  
on another related Melbourne-ish list I'd appreciate you plugging MPUG  
on that list; in particular when there's an announcement of the next  
meeting. The handy link to pass on to people is http://wiki.python.org/moin/MelbournePUG

Hello,

Sorry I missed both the previous meetings;  I had good intentions and bad
planning on both occasions!

I'd like to make it to the next one,  for sure.  I live and work out in the
Dandenong Ranges,  but usually get in to Melbourne once or twice a week.

Cheers!
Mark

My apologies for missing the meeting too. I've been moving house, and am
still unpacking.
I'd love a monthly meet-up. I can recommend the Loop
Bar<http://www.looponline.com.au/> for
something like this, if we can get the space. Last time I was there (a while
back) there was a live visual programming competition. It seemed like a nice
informal atmosphere, though their web site seems to indicate a busy calendar
of events now.

Monthly implies we can rope someone or several someones into giving  
some interesting presentation(s) or organising other fun stuff each  
month. What are you volunteering to talk about? :)

Yeah, the Loop Bar is way busy. I have some leads on some other venues  
which will be suitable.

How's everyone's promotion and outreach efforts going? ;)

Twittered about it, if that helps!

+1 for not being able to make the recent meetups but definitely aiming  
to be at the next one.

We'll all be dry-running our OSDC talks, right, so everyone should have
plenty of material right now :)

I have actually found two groups that it conflicts with -
- Victoria .NET Dev SIG
<http://www.victoriadotnet.com.au/vic-victorianet-dev-sig-formed/vic-victorianet-dev-sig-events.aspx>
(not that much to worry about... in fact one day you could hold a
joint meeting on IronPython :))
- The Hive <http://www.thehive.org.au/> entrepreneur types. I am going
to this this week so I will find out what the crowd is like. I am
pretty sure it will be suits - business types rather than geeks, so
again not much concern for overlap.

It looks like Drupal people also tend to meet on the second Tuesday,
although perhaps not regularly.

Durn, might want to try to not clash with them.

Damn, they have a meeting space too! I can't offer ekit's boardroom as  
the customer service staff are next door so we can't get rowdy.

I still don't have a confirmed meeting space. Might hear something by  
next week...

I'll stick with the current plan for our next meeting for now but look  
at a different date for future meetings.

Sure!

I'm going to try to limit my IronPython presentation to 15-20 minutes  
tops. There may be an additional related presentation of a similar  
length. A short Django presentation would be good too (perhaps "what's  
new in 1.1?" or similar?). Hell we could have one per meeting "what's  
latest in Django" :)

I'd like to prompt people to think of other short presentation topics.  
Some library you've used recently, some technology you've interfaced  
with, some protocol you've implemented, that sort of thing. The legacy  
website you've been working on for years and lessons you've learned.

Lightning talks would be more than welcome too.

We did some of them at work, and they are a great format. I would love to
include lightnings in the regular MPUG lineup of events...

Subject: [melbourne-pug] Software Freedom Day, 19th Sep - speakers wanted!
Message-ID: <d20d84ea0907260745k27829c7as57a0d16eaf5cfbff@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I am looking for people who are interested in helping share the
awesome that is free software, by giving a talk or tute on Software
Freedom Day (Saturday 19th September). Your mission, should you choose
to accept it, is to communicate to a beginners or intermediate
audience, in approximately 25 minutes, some project or aspect of free
software that gives you warm fuzzies and helps you sleep well at night
knowing the world is a better place, or at least makes you go, "Huh.
Neat."

I have listed some ideas to get you thinking, below. Further notes are
also at <http://wiki.cc.com.au/SFD09/Talks>. Please reply to me
off-list when you know what you want to enthuse about.

cheers!
Brianna

ps. Don't think you are not qualified to talk if you are a beginner or
a recently-reformed beginner. Recently reformed beginners are some of
the best people to communicate with beginners, because they remember
precisely just how daunting and baffling everything was...


==Introductory==

   * What is software freedom?
         o incl. history of free software movement
   * Free software licenses
         o could perhaps just be a component in a general talk on
software freedom
   * How do open source projects work?
         o how do they get started, how do people contribute, how do
people know what to do, who makes final decisions, forking
   * How to become an open source developer
         o How to find a project, how to check if it suits you, how
to find easy ways to start, submitting patches?
   * Open formats/standards & why they matter
   * Introduction to free content licensing (Creative Commons)
   * Open access (academic publishing)
   * OLPC project
   * Firefox
   * Opera
   * Thunderbird
   * Wordpress
   * Inkscape
   * OpenOffice
   * Audacity
   * GIMP
   * GnuCash
   * Some feed reader (plus: what are feeds)
   * [Your Favourite Free Software Package Goes Here]
   * MediaWiki/Wikipedia/some other wiki (contributing)
   * HTML/CSS (web design using some particular package?)
   * Back-ups
   * Demystifying bug trackers (could look at a few - Bugzilla, trac?)
   * Beginning programming with Python
   * Programming for kids with Squeak/Alice/Scratch
   * Introduction to IRC

==Intermediate==

   * Beginning the command line
   * How to start your own web site (getting started with shared
webhosting using open source tools)
   * Beginning source control (concepts + basic commands in svn, bzr)
   * Any of the software mentioned in 'Introductory', but with a more
advanced take (starting to look at modifying it, e.g.
extensions/plugins, how to tweak it yourself)
   * Using a debugger
   * Practical programming with Python (scripting - solving 'real
world' problems)
   * Understanding the Linux stack (kernel, window manager, desktop
environment, utilities, etc)
   * Managing software in Linux (aptitude etc)
   * Introduction to databases (not just SQL...)
   * Introduction to MVC framework?
   * Drupal
   * Greasemonkey or more generally, Firefox extensions
   * JavaScript
   * Emacs :)

==Workshops==
Any of the packages mentioned above, especially in a "how to achieve X
using Y" setting.

The next meeting of the Melbourne Python Users Group will be on  
Tuesday the 11th of August starting at 6:30pm. We'll be meeting at  
Horse Bazaar again but this time we'll have use of their projector.  
We'll have time for several short presentations or lightning talks.

Meeting details, location and talks list are at:

   http://wiki.python.org/moin/MelbournePUG

If you've seen something cool or are doing something cool then we'd  
like you to tell everyone about it! Presentations could be 5 minutes  
or up to 15 minutes if you'd like to ramble for a bit longer. I'll be  
getting up to talk a bit about my experiences playing with IronPython  
- what's cool and what's downright odd :)

If you've got an idea for a talk just add it to the wiki page.

I'd like to give a talk about the PSI (Python System Information)  
project http://www.psychofx.com/psi/ which will be an updated version  
of the Lightning Talk I gave at PyCon UK 2007.  I've updated the wiki.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks v much for that. Martin Schweitzer also told me a couple of days ago
that he would be happy to give a presentation. I've updated the wiki such
that you and he are both on the list for Tuesday, and I'm bumped Richard
off. Richard, I'm sure Martin would be happy to present on another date if
you're particularly keen to present your Wx stuff this time around, but I
felt that you would be okay with me adjusting the times so that two new
speakers can have a go?

Cheers,
-T

I only plan to go for 5-10 minutes.  How much time are you allocating  
to presentations in total?

We don't need to be specific about the time. I'd like to keep the total to
about an hour. Maybe we'll put you on first, then see how the remaining time
plays out?

An hour of talks, fitting in 3-6 presentations, sounds good to me.   
Keeps things moving.  Not that we have to be particularly strict.

Cheers
Chris

It'd be great if presenters could give an indication of how long  
they'd like to talk - either 5 or 20 minutes (15 + 5 mins for Q&A).  
I'd like to avoid talks longer than 15 minutes if possible.

I was planning on talking for about 15 minutes. I figure we can have  
two longer  talks followed by some 5 minute lightning talks.

We should probably put a column into the wiki so that presenters see they
should type in an estimated duration...

I've just split them up into 15 minute and 5 minute. Any more  
variability is just asking for trouble :)

Hi

If I could talk second, that would be good as I don't want too late a
night...
