Message-ID: Hey guys, Glad to see some discussion about this. FWIW, SciPy has been in Austin for several years now; that's its new home ever since it moved from Pasadena in 2010 (2009?). I am an organizer for Austin Python and if there is interest in doing PyTexas in Austin, I think there would be a lot of enthusiasm from the local crowd to help volunteer and organize... -Peter On Wed, Dec 31, 2014 at 10:18 AM, Landon Jurgens wrote: > Oh and it looks like the SciPy conference is going to be in Austin this > year too. > > https://conference.scipy.org/scipy2015/ > > On Tue, Dec 30, 2014 at 7:31 AM, Landon Jurgens > wrote: > >> Well, depending on the time and location of PyTexas this year I was >> thinking a community table might be appropriate (either a DjangoCon booth >> at PyTexas or visa-versa) and general sharing of Ideas.

Message-ID: <098F5D4F-3D90-45E3-BFFB-58067D772473@glenbot.com> Landon/Peter, We have been hosting PyTexas in College Station over the last few years because of the value it gives us. The venue is very nice and very inexpensive (we can take this offline for financial details). The college town is cheap to stay in and it?s mostly central to Houston, Austin, Dallas. Some quirks we have found with Austin are finding a place that is well priced and convenient to get to without a lot of hassle. Traffic in Austin and price of Hotels makes it more difficult for people to come from out of town. That said, we are outgrowing the venue in College Station. We had over 200 registrations last year and are expecting at least 300 this year. This could allow us to have it in College Station 1-2 more years. My ignorance in Austin venues is what has been driving me to stay in College Station. I just don?t know enough or have any venue contacts in Austin. We have reached out to Rackspace to see if they were willing to host 2015 at the Castle in San Antonio but have not heard back. I?m all for hosting this in Austin if our budget allows us and we can hit the points above. PyTexas is entirely community volunteers and is not organized by a 3rd Party company or a business so we have to count our pennies when it comes to a venue. We do funnel the expenses through the PyTexas Foundation, a Texas Non-Profit, which consists of me (Glen Zangirolami), Jeremy Boyd, and Kevin Horn. If you want to take this further in a separate thread we are always looking for volunteers and it so happens we need a venue chair this year.

<098F5D4F-3D90-45E3-BFFB-58067D772473@glenbot.com> Message-ID: Glen, Sounds like we might have something going here. We might be able to leverage all the work that we're doing for DjangoCon to help organize PyTexas. Here is the list of Hotels/Venues that we're considering and we plan on finalizing this week. https://github.com/djangocon/djangocon-us-docs/blob/master/hotels.yml I can see how much support I can drum up in the community and see if Austin would be a good fit this year. We may want to seek out a key sponsor in the community to make it happen and it may be worth looking over number to make sure we have things covered. As far as having at The Castle in San Antonio I work for Rackspace out of both SA and Austin offices. Perhaps I can see about greasing the wheels and getting some sort of a reply back. Perhaps you can share your contact with me privately and I can see what I can do from the inside.

URL: From thomas.f.hahn2 at gmail.com Sun Jan 4 05:56:04 2015 From: thomas.f.hahn2 at gmail.com (thomas hahn) Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2015 22:56:04 -0600 Subject: [Texas] Help with finding tutors for Python, Linux, R, Perl, Octave, MATLAB and/or Cytoscape for yeast microarray analysis, next generation sequencing and constructing gene interaction networks Message-ID: *Help with finding tutors for Python, Linux, R, Perl, Octave, MATLAB and/or Cytoscape for yeast microarray analysis, next generation sequencing and constructing gene interaction networks* Hi I am a visually impaired bioinformatics graduate student using microarray data for my master?s thesis aimed at deciphering the mechanism by which the yeast wild type can suppress the rise of free reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by caloric restriction (CR) but the Atg15 and Erg6 knockout mutant cannot. Since my remaining vision is very limited I need very high magnification. But that makes my visual field very small. Therefore I need somebody to teach me how to use these programming environments, especially for microarray analysis, next generation sequencing and constructing gene and pathway interaction networks. This is very difficult for me to figure out without assistance because Zoomtext, my magnification and text to speech software, on which I am depending because I am almost blind, has problems reading out aloud many programming related websites to me. And even those websites it can read, it can only read sequentially from left to right and then from top to bottom. Unfortunately, this way of acquiring, finding, selecting and processing new information and answering questions is too tiresome, exhausting, ineffective and especially way too time consuming for graduating with a PhD in bioinformatics before my funding runs out despite being severely limited by my visual disability. I would also need help with writing a good literature review and applying the described techniques to my own yeast Affimetrix microarray dataset because I cannot see well enough to find all relevant publications on my own. Some examples for specific tasks I urgently need help with are: 1. Analyzing and comparing the three publically available microarray datasets that can be accessed at: A. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE41860 B. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE38635 C. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE9217 2. Learning how to use the Affymetrics microarray analysis software for the Yeast 2 chip, which can be found at http://www.affymetrix.com/support/technical/libraryfilesmain.affx 3. For Cytoscape I need somebody, who can teach me how to execute the tutorials at the following links because due to my very limited vision field I cannot see tutorial and program interface simultaneously. A. http://opentutorials.cgl.ucsf.edu/index.php/Tutorial:Introduction_to_Cytoscape_3.1-part2#Importing_and_Exploring_Your_Data B. http://opentutorials.cgl.ucsf.edu/index.php/Tutorial:Filtering_and_Editing_in_Cytoscape_3 C. http://cytoscape.org/manual/Cytoscape2_8Manual.html#Import%20Fixed-Format%20Network%20Files D. http://wiki.cytoscape.org/Cytoscape_User_Manual/Network_Formats 4. Learning how to use the TopGo R package to perform statistical analysis on GO enrichments. Since I am legally blind the rehab agency is giving me money to pay tutors for this purpose. Could you please help me getting in touch regarding this with anybody, who could potentially be interested in teaching me one on one thus saving me time for acquiring new information and skills, which I need to finish my thesis on time, so that I can remain eligible for funding to continue in my bioinformatics PhD program despite being almost blind? The tutoring can be done remotely via TeamViewer 5 and Skype. Hence, it does not matter where my tutors are physically located. Currently I have tutors in Croatia and UK. But since they both work full time jobs while working on their PhD dissertation they only have very limited time to teach me online. Could you therefore please forward this request for help to anybody, who could potentially be interested or, who could connect me to somebody, who might be, because my graduation and career depend on it? Who else would you recommend me to contact regarding this? Where else could I post this because I am in urgent need for help? Could you please contact me directly via email at Thomas.F.Hahn2 at gmail.com and/or Skype at tfh002 because my text to speech software has problems to read out this website aloud to me? I thank you very much in advance for your thoughts, ideas, suggestions, recommendations, time, help, efforts and support.

<098F5D4F-3D90-45E3-BFFB-58067D772473@glenbot.com> Message-ID: Glen, wanted to follow-up with you and see if there have been any more developments with PyTexas 2015's location. You mentioned reaching out to Rackspace but haven't heard back. I wanted to see who/how you've reached out and see if I can help move things along and help get an answer. I've found that many of the conferences have already been planned out but I'm sure for something so clsoe I could make a compelling option. Let me know if things have moved at all. I'm also interested in helping out with the new site if people are looking for it. I can see that the page loads (https://www.pytexas.org/2015/) but it seems like 2015 is a clone of 2014. If there's anything I can do to help let me know. Landon On Sun, Jan 4, 2015 at 2:44 PM, Landon Jurgens wrote: > Glen, > > Sounds like we might have something going here.
