You really scared me with saying that it was one of many from Google. I
thought you were saying that they jokingly planned this event, which would
make me very sad.

Complete details on Richard Stallman's presentation from
http://calagator.org/events/1250460423

The ACM at PSU Presents: Richard Stallman - Free Software and Your Freedom
Thursday, April 7, 2011 from 7?9pm

Portland State University - Native American Student and Community Center
710 SW Jackson St
Portland Oregon 97201


The Free Software Movement campaigns for computer users' freedom to
cooperate and control their own computing. The Free Software Movement
developed the GNU operating system,
typically used with the Linux kernel, specifically to make these freedoms
possible.

The Portland State University Chapter of the Association for Computing
Machinery and the Computer Science Department are proud to welcome Richard
Stallman to PSU for this general-interest talk. Mr. Stallman is the father
of the free software movement and the concept of 'copyleft', the original
author of GNU Emacs, the GNU Compiler Collection, and many of the utilities
used in the GNU/Linux operating system.

This event is free and open to the general public. Mr. Stallman will be
available for a brief Q&A session following the talk.

Message-ID: <4D9BC838.7040602@robertmarktech.com>

All,

Sorry in advance for going off topic, but someone on PLUG-TALK suggested 
I post over here. The short version is I'm looking into expanding my 
company's pool of women applicants, and looking for geek women's groups 
in PDX.

I've reached out to a woman at OSU and I'm following up on Code N' 
Splode. I'm surprised there's nothing at PSU, but hoping I can get 
direction from some of the women members from this list. Feel free to 
reply to me directly so as not to fill everyone's inbox with replies on 
an off topic subject.

Also, I'm sort of stationed in NYC until the 16th, so if you know of 
anything in that area I can check out while here, I'd be grateful.

thanks,

I blogged about this.  Messed up my bicycle going there, just me
by my lonesome, managing to squish my front wheel (since
replaced).  Well worth the hassle.  Stallman is one of my heros.

If others here were there and wanna share citations, I'd by happy
to cross-index somehow (even though I'm not in Wordpress, for
that one, I bet I can figure a way...).

Message-ID: <BANLkTinq5Eo+Wi49Y6evOjB2O8aNisKSWg@mail.gmail.com>

Happy Second Tuesday, Pythoneers!

Tonight we've got a great meeting planned. Chris Pitzer will show us how
he's been Learning Javascript from Python, and I'll be sharing my thoughts
about how and why YOU can and should give technical talks in Why You Should
Be Up Here. Also, we still don't have a volunteer for Michel's Module of the
Month, so if you're up for telling us about your new favorite stdlib module
we'd love to hear about it!

After the meeting we'll probably proceed to the beverage location known as
Bailey's Taproom.

Hope to see you there!
Michelle


Urban Airship is at 334 NW 11th Ave, in the Pearl District:
http://goo.gl/maps/U6mC

The main door will probably be locked, but the back door, which leads
directly to the event space, will be propped open. The back door is right
around the corner on NW Flanders, next to the loading dock:
http://goo.gl/maps/Ikbh

Adam will put up signs, and if you get lost you can call him at 503-866-0663

Thanks to everyone who came out to the monthly meeting Tuesday night. And
two loud shouts out to Chris Pitzer for his talk on Learning Javascript from
Python <http://lofiart.com/files/learning_js_from_python.zip>, and to Adam
Lowry for demoing the
traceback<http://docs.python.org/library/traceback.html>and
cgitb <http://docs.python.org/library/cgitb.html> modules.

If I weren't me I would shout at myself for talking about why everyone
should be giving talks, which I hope has inspired everyone on this list to
come and talk to the group about something (anything Pythonic, even if it's
just for 5 minutes). Lightning talks are welcome at every single meeting,
and we always have Michel's Module of the Month, another great opportunity
to do a short talk. Everyone is *highly* encouraged to give speaking a try!

If you have an idea for a talk topic, let us know at
snakeherders at pdxpython.org or ping dael or jek in #pdxpython on Freenode.
There's still room on the schedule for May's
meeting<http://www.meetup.com/pdxpython/events/17292154/>
!

Speaking of May's meeting (that's on May 10th, at 6:30pm), we're doing a
raffle that you won't want to miss. Here's the list of items so far:

* One ticket to the Open Source Bridge
conference<http://opensourcebridge.org/>in June!
* One black Python logo coffee/tea mug
* One Python logo whisky glass
* A set of Python 3 tutorial videos
* One Django shirt (size Large)
* I think I'm forgetting something

And, speaking of Open Source Bridge, one last reminder: there's still time
to make your voice heard about the sessions you'd like to see. If you'd like
to influence the selection committee, please read the
proposals<http://opensourcebridge.org/events/2011/proposals> and
leave comments by this Saturday night.


See you next month!
Michelle

Yo Rowley --

I'm always up for talking about Martian Math, even without a laptop
(in Kentucky, Toshiba tells me -- under non-warranty service, even
though it went under warranty).

5 mins or less is fine, longer OK too if needed.

Here's my write-up of our latest meeting, as always completely from
my personal perspective with no journalistic goal of "objectivity"
ever crossing me wittle mind.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx43vcV2aX0&feature=related

No wait, that's not it, here we go:

You can use me as filler, i.e. I won't be offended if I'm asked to
take a back seat to Lowry or Shmichael etc. whom I always learn
a lot from (Rowley is good too, no 2nd banana to anyone when it
comes to being Pythonic (as in pithy)).

I'm not up to hosting yet, though thanks for asking.  You 'n
Jason etc. are just too good at it.

And now for something completely different, picked off of
ChiPy (the Chicago list):

Speaking of Chicago, I defended our honor a few months ago,
when they were accusing us of using "bouncers" (who us?
in Portlandia?).

(wow, over a year ago by now, time flies)

Upshot:  Chicago wants bouncers too (in leather maybe).

Someone mentioned that they wanted to see the examples I made of the traceback and cgitb modules, so I put them on github:

https://github.com/robotadam/traceback-examples

I hope they're helpful.

(BTW, 5 minute talks are a great length! Why don't you start on one now, and then you'll be prepared?)
