[TriZPUG] Proposal: talk for next-ish meeting

[Gary Poster]

Hi all.

I just gave a talk at OSCON that might be nice to reuse at a ZPUG  
meeting if there's any interest.  It would be titled "Launchpad  
Foundations: If the Abstractions Don't Kill Us..." and the talk is  
about how Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/ , sponsored by Canonical  
and used to develop Ubuntu) uses the zope.interface and zope.component  
libraries in the Launchpad software.

The talk is based on interviews: I wanted to see how engineers on the  
team interacted with these packages, and what successes and problems  
we had with them.  I close with some ideas on how we might improve our  
use of the technologies, how the technologies might be changed  
themselves, and how/whether they might be used in other contexts, like  
Django.

As is, the talk is about 45 minutes long.  I could trim it, or take a  
bit longer for questions.

I could do this August 27, or later.
