Michael,

I just created a userid (glassresistor) for you at trizpug.org. You 
should be getting a password reset email.

This userid comes with a personal folder for you on trizpug.org:

http://trizpug.org/Members/glassresistor

where you can add any content you want.

You have also been made a manager of this folder so that after creating 
a content item in the folder, you can publish it.

If you publish an event or news content item, it will:

a) appear in the news or event right hand portlet on trizpug.org as 
appropriate,
b) appear within one hour on planet.trizpug.org,
c) get tweeted to twitter.com/trizpug
d) get syndicated in either events.trizpug.org or news.trizpug.org
e) appear in the sitewide news and events tabs (trizpug.org/events or 
trizpug.org/news)

A new tab "dojo" has been added to trizpug.org associated with a topic 
item (i.e., smart folder). A new event type for event items "Python 
Dojo" has been added to trizpug.org. If you publish and event item 
tagged with the event type "Python Dojo," then all such event items will 
appear in under the Dojo tab in reverse chronological order of event 
start date.

You have also been given the "Owner" role of http://trizpug.org/pydojo 
so that if you want to or need to change the description text of that 
item, you can. I'm nor 100% sure that just granting Owner on a single 
non-folder item will allow editing. So if you have a problem with that, 
just let me know.

If you would like to publicize your Python Dojos on trizpug.org using 
this facility, please do. We would like people who organize things to 
have the ability to publicize them with all the tools we can give them. 
TriZPUG.org has some pretty awesome page rank. So using it can get your 
events very well pimped.

Just ask Tobias or Mark Lavin if you have any questions about how to do 
this. They have basically the same powers and the "Hack" tab on 
trizpug.org was created for Mark.

I look forward to seeing a Dojo event item published for the upcoming 
event on Monday. Let me know if this is not useful for you.
