No MPUG today! We've moved it to the 10th! So no, no MPUG today. Tomorrow morning I will announce the program for next week's meeting.

Time: 6PM Venue: Inspire 9: Level 1, 41 Stewart Street, Richmond. 50m from Richmond Train Station. Program: 25 minute talks * Open Slot -- What's New in Python, October Edition 45 minute talks * Tennessee Leeuwenburg -- Wordgraph as an assistive technology and as an open source project that has a low barrier to participation that people might like to consider either using or contributing to. (https://github.com/tleeuwenburg/wordgraph and https://wordgraph.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) :: As usual, we'll order pizza, with a $10 contribution required. Drinks are BYO, but you're invited to bring a six-pack to share if you want! If you'd like to give the What's New in Python talk in a future session, you have a cool project you want to show, or you want to give a short presentation on a library you've been using lately, please just come forward during the meeting. With many thanks to Python Charmers for sponsoring our use of the venue, The MPUG organisers From tleeuwenburg at gmail.com Sat Nov 8 07:49:24 2014 From: tleeuwenburg at gmail.com (Tennessee Leeuwenburg) Date: Sat, 8 Nov 2014 17:49:24 +1100 Subject: [melbourne-pug] Help out with wordgraph on Monday night Message-ID: Hi all! So I'll be presenting about my package wordgraph for .. how long? 45 minutes? SNORE! I think we need to jazz things up a bit. So if anyone has a laptop to bring along, that would be useful. I'd like to see how many people in the audience can successfully pull off an install mid-talk. I'll get some useful feedback, and some of you will hopefully get a working install of the package. It's supposed to "just work", but I'm struggling with getting Python 2 and 3 simultaneously tested on travis-ci, so some aspects of that may have gone on the blink. As well as covering the "here's what is does, here's who it's for" stuff, I'm also going to spend some time going through (a) hassles of setting up a package and (b) an overview of the code and architecture. So bring some opinions about application design and we can really get into it. I'm also hoping there's going to be sound available, otherwise my laptop speakers are going to sound mighty tinny in that big room. It's only a small part of the presentation, but still. Also, I'll be pointedly not naming a certain "contributor" who keeps promising untold functional improvements, and letting you know how you can get involved if you'd like to. It's not that I expect anyone to help -- but nobody ever sat *me* down and explained how to actually get to grips with contributing to something. So even if you're not especially keen on this tiny application, there might be a few useful words for getting involved with something that really gets you going. Also, powerpoint is so late 1800s. But I don't actually know how to use any other software, so there will be some slides. However, there will be animations and embedded sounds. I'm trying to figure out how to get the blink tag successfully integrated. Anyway, that's all for now, see you on the night!

The process: - find out from speakers and organisers when we reckon that talks are going to end (note: between 7 and 7.30 is the norm) - collect $10 from everyone who's going to eat pizza, with care to note how many vegetarians and gluten free people there are. - with the above money, order pizza from Crust (crust.com.au) online, for arrival at the time estimated above. - host pizza party - help tidy up as we approach 8.30, which is the closing time arranged with inspire9.
