A presentation on mod_python, publisher and psp was given while pizza was eaten. (Funny thing about having good pizza in an Irish pub) Talk then went on about using python in sysadmin tasks and then on to how best to setup some massive home storage. GlusterFS , ZFS and NFS. We all seem to have a need for terra type storage A copy of "The Python Cookbook" was handed out to the winner of the door prize (Thanks O'Reilly) After the meeting a social hour(s) ensued with wild eyed talk of google phones and grand central. We look forward to seeing old friends and new faces at the next meeting. Details are on the website, www.OmahaPython.org .

We hold a symposium every two years in April (next is April 2008) and provide speakers and workshops in relevant GIS subjects. ESRI's ArcGIS software holds the market majority and has embraced Python language as a preferred scripting, customization language. One area we have trouble with for our symposium is getting instructors for Python workshops. The symposium is in Kansas City on April 20-24, 2008 and the Python course would be held for 4 hours on Sunday April 20th and would be a hands-on computer based course with a class of about 20-30 beginner programmers. We desire application to ArcGIS, but also just need basic Python skills instruction. The instructors and speakers as well as the planning committee are volunteers to keep the cost down to symposium attendees. Do you have anyone that might fit as an instructor for an Introduction to Python language course in the Midwest? We would like to get a commitment of an instructor with a one-to-two paragraph outline or summary to print in our preliminary program by this Friday (November 2, 2007) Sorry for the short notice, we thought we had someone lined up already, but do not. Please call or email me to discuss further. Eric Foster, Senior Transportation Planner MoDOT, 600 NE Colbern Rd. Lee's Summit, MO 64086 (816) 622-6330
