New Website Brainstorm & Planning Meeting for Urbanedibles.org

When: Sunday July 12th, 3pm
Where: Backspace (115 NW 5th Ave)

We have been envisioning a new website for a long while and it's time
to make it happen. The current site is was built using Rails 3 years
ago, but since then I have become a full-time Pythoneer and am leaning
towards Django for the next urbanedibles.org

We have lots of ideas for new features, including opening it up to all
cities, searching for what's ripe now, submitting sources via
SMS/Twitter, an API, iPhone app, etc. (Many at:
http://wiki.urbanedibles.org/index.php?title=New_Feature_Ideas)

This will be a very open meeting, but I would like to come out of it
with some specific problems and tasks that need to be tackled. I think
this could be a great community coding project that could follow in
the foot steps of Calagator and their development process
(http://code.google.com/p/calagator/w/list).

Urban Edibles has gained a lot of momentum and international press
over the last few years and I would love to see it fulfill the many
requests we've had for expansion.

If you are interested in collaborating but can't make it to the
meeting, please send me an email. I have been the only C.S. focused
person on the team thus far (others work on education, leading plant
walks, publishing, etc.) There are needs for graphic design,
interaction design, mapping/GIS, javascript, scaling, API design,
social media integration, clustering...the list can be as long as we
are willing to make it.

Some dated info can be found on our recently revived wiki:
http://wiki.urbanedibles.org

Best,

Argh, can't make it because I'm moving cross-town this weekend!  Would
love to make it to a future sprint though.

Django seems like the right choice for a mix of technical and social reasons:

 - "proven" (popular sites use it)
 - GIS integration via PostGIS & GeoDjango
 - basic social networking features via Pinax
 - significant mindshare and positive growth in the web development community
 - has a conference coming to town in September for you to demo at! ;-)

So while thats just my $0.02, it might be a more productive meeting if
you decided on Django ahead of time and laid out some immediate
implementation goals (like: get feature X working).

At any rate please keep posting meetings to this mailing list.  I'd
love to write some code for it in the future!

Django all the way baby!
I will try to make this meeting but there's a high chance I wont be able to
depending on how much work I get done in preparation for my business trip to
LA next Monday. Either way, I'd be interested in seeing how my team could
contribute to this project. It's a wonderful idea. Please do let me know if
you choose Django. We're avid supporters!

P.S. Have the Portland Pythoneers found a new place to host meetings at yet?
I know there's a location for this month but is it going to be a consistent
location?

Thanks,

Sounds cool to me.  A non Rails opportunity to participate!

Hi all,

DjangoCon '09 will be in Portland, Oregon at the DoubleTree Green Hotel (
http://www.doubletreegreen) between 8th and 12th September. The first 3 days
are conference days and the last 2 days are sprint days.

You can register at the "early bird" rates at
http://djangocon09.eventbrite.com and keep up to date with the latest news
at http://www.djangocon.org/

DjangoCon '08 was a success at Google HQ in Mountain View (see the videos
here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=D415FAF806EC47A1) and I'm sure
we're going to have a lot of fun this time around as well.

Hope to see you there!

Hi all.

Is there a meeting this month? I asked @pdxpython on Twitter a few days 
back but no one is home and I see a meeting scheduled on Meetup.com but 
it says no location has been picked yet.  Did a location materialize or 
are we SOL this month?

Thanks!

Hi gang,

Forgive me for blurting without lurking for a bit.. but your meeting
is tomorrow night and I figure this subject will be discussed at the
meeting.

The reason I poked my head in is because I need up to 4 or 5
volunteers to help me video Djangocon in Sep.   (you get free reg, so
you get to eat with the attendees. )  To help with this, I'll help you
get your meetings recorded with the same setup we used at PyCon.

Then I hear you are looking for a place to meet.  I have connections
to at least 2 places in Portland (maybe more, waiting to hear from my
cousin who lives out there.)

1. doubletree 1000 NE Multnomah St 97232
That is where Djangocon will be in Sep.   I have not talked to them
about this, but there is a chance something can be worked out.  I am
sure they have the appropriate sized rooms, but they will want to make
money, generally by selling expensive food.  how much food can very,
and it may seem expensive, but it is better than just paying cash for
the room, but worse than getting a free room from somewhere better.

2. University of Portland Learning Center - The encourage user group
like groups.   but:
mackstan1n: it's in north portland, very out of the way
So that might be a problem.

I really appreciate the heads up igal, am such a scatter-brain when it
comes to deadlines like this.  So I registered, sans sprints, and I
wouldn't be presenting this time, sit at the feet of masters where
Django is concerned.  What's a regular expressions again? :)

I much prefer irregular expressions. They add character :)

 (New Time! New Location!)
Message-ID: <4A679D30.1000907@discorporate.us>

Pythonistas,

I'm happy to announce that we have a new location for the Portland 
Python User Group.  The kind folks at Webtrends have offered us meeting 
space downtown.  The space is large enough to accommodate the group at 
our largest, has a projector, microphones and is located right in the 
heart of Fareless Square.  Thank you Webtrends!

Along with the new location is an experimental new time: 6:30.  We've 
had been running long at the CubeSpace meetings, and the new location 
promises to be easier to get to for many folks, so it seems worth a try!

On the agenda for August:

   Testing in a Python World by Adam
   - Originally proposed for OSBridge 2009
     http://opensourcebridge.org/proposals/243

   Module of the Month by Michelle

And adjourning to a new TBD post-presentation beer locale.

Tuesday August 11th, 6:30 PM
851 SW 6th Ave, 16th Floor
Portland, OR 97204
Maps, RSVP, etc.: http://www.meetup.com/pdxpython/

Special thanks to Michelle for her great work in arranging this space 
for us!

Cheers,
Jason

A last minute reminder that we will be meeting Sunday to continue
discussion and work on the new Urban Edibles website. Since our last
meeting we have outlined our Django models and started a Mercurial
repository on Google Code:

Planning on being there, setting out on foot, plan to mostly just lurk
as I still mostly fall off my Django pony when I try riding it (him?).
 I'm into urban framing for institutional providers of cafeteria food,
like PPS, big hospitals...  understood this isn't precisely your
mission, but there's much to learn from watching a related mashup
developing.

Oh wait duh, that was yesterday, scrap "setting out on foot" (I'll
wander someplace else), plus I notice I don't have permission to post
to urbanedibles, need to subscribe to that one.

Lindsey and I were @ Belmont Inn talking Javascript front end with
those little vegetable and fruit icons or whatever, maybe mouse over
and see the name in Laotian (a language setting -- the kind of feature
I'd push in DemocracyLab.org meetings, still going on plus they just
had a benefit concert on N. Mississippi).

Helps to disambiguate sometimes, in icon-intensive GUIs, to have
mouseover talk balloons (no "talking paperclip" need apply).

We had an Arabic speaking PhD listening in, could maybe help us with
translation if we get to cross that bridge (what's "eggplant" in
Arabic?).

I doubt the meeting happened on Saturday because the email reminder for the
meeting was sent just this afternoon so I think the date was just wrong in
the email. Unfortunately, I have plans with family and wont be able to make
it. Good luck guys!
