Update - I have made it thru chapter 6 and have learned much about TDD, Selenium, and how to apply this to building Django apps. I have not encountered a single typo in the code which is remarkable for a pre-release book. Highly recommend.

Hack Omaha is now a real, actual thing that is definitely happening from November 22-24. If you get a second, head over to hackomaha.eventbrite.comand sign up -- our Silicon Valley sponsor is already impressed by our numbers, and I'm hoping to blow him away. Sounds like there's big interest in doing a dead voters analysis. IRE, a fantastic organization, makes the entire Social Security Death database available ( http://ire.org/nicar/database-library/databases/social-security-administration-death-master-file/). I imagine we could get it from them, if that's what captures the imagination. That said, the data doesn't reflect a person's address -- you'd likely have to match on full name and birthdate, and just be up front about the potential flaws in such an analysis. Full disclosure, that's a topic that hits right in the feels. That was one of my first analyses way back in college - http://kbia.org/post/kbia-archive-dead-voters-haunt-missouris-voter-registration-rolls-2006 One last thing I should mention, we're having a meetup tomorrow night with the Beer&&Code guys at Brazenhead - http://www.meetup.com/Open-Nebraska-Meetup/events/144787902/. Hope some of you can turn out and let me get you a drink! -Matt On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 5:00 AM, wrote: > Send Omaha mailing list submissions to > omaha at python.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/omaha > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > omaha-request at python.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > omaha-owner at python.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Omaha digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
