Show us your stuff! Thanks for Brian Jinwright for showing off his Pooter WSGI framework at the last meeting and for getting the meeting video ball rolling. (Hm, I'm picturing the video ball rolling as kind of like the opening credits of The Prisoner.) Just an FYI, I may or may not be at this meeting, depending on how frantic I am with last minute PyCamp logistics. (We're at that stage where the PyCampers are realizing they need to install Python before class and are asking questions via email about things like how to set their Windows 7 environment variables. Pray for me.) I think y'all have demonstrated you know have to have a meeting on your own. :) -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://nccoos.org/Members/cbc office: 3313 Venable Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From cbc at unc.edu Tue Jun 21 18:49:25 2011 From: cbc at unc.edu (Chris Calloway) Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2011 12:49:25 -0400 Subject: [TriZPUG] New PyCamp Release Message-ID: <4E00CB95.3060302@unc.edu> There's a new edition of the PyCamp materials posted: online: http://trizpug.org/Members/cbc/wyntkap/ ZIP download: http://trizpug.org/Members/cbc/wyntkap.zip TGZ download: http://trizpug.org/Members/cbc/wyntkap.tgz Two more releases are due this year, one after the conclusion of each scheduled PyCamp and corrections/suggestions have been incorporated.

The survey contains questions on user group organization, events, demographics, and growth. There are some questions with numerical answers, and while your best guess is fine, you may find it helpful to gather some statistics on your user group membership before starting the survey (example statistics include the number of active members and the size and topics for recent user group events). We expect this survey to take around 30 minutes to complete. We appreciate your time and honesty in answering these questions. The PSF blog post announcing the survey: http://pyfound.blogspot.com/2011/06/tell-us-about-your-user-group.html The survey was written by Jessica McKellar (http://jesstess.com), organizer for the Boston Python Meetup (http://meetup.bostonpython.com), and Jesse Noller (http://jessenoller.com/), PSF board member and PyCon chair with input and feedback from survey specialists and others. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BWLG8SZ The survey was pretested with a handful of user group organizers, and their answers were phenomenal. Organizers have tons to say about these topics, and we hope to get a lot of great, actionable data for strengthening the relationship between the PSF and Python user groups out of this effort. Outreach, education, diversity and community building are critical for Python as a community, and the Foundation - this data should greatly assist in our targeting our resources and furthering the mission of the Foundation in all ways.
