It's likely there may be pizza. http://tripython.org/Members/sgambino/jun-14-rpn If you'd like a project to work on, I'm helping direct people towards working on unittest coverage for pyqtgraph. I'm working with all skill levels on that project. The technology stack is Python, unittest, PyQt4, QTest, and PyQtGraph. Wherever you are in your journey, we'll get you inserted at the correct place to learn what you need to contribute. Here are Luke's presentation materials about pyqtgraph and vispy: http://tripython.org/meetings/pyqtgraph What: Project Night When: Tuesday, June 3, 6-9pm Where: WebAssign, NCSU Centennial Campus, 1791 Varsity Drive, Suite 200, Raleigh Directions: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=WebAssign,+Varsity+Drive,+Raleigh,+NC&hl=en&sll=35.773896,-78.677111&sspn=0.026288,0.044289&t=h&hq=WebAssign,&hnear=Varsity+Dr,+Raleigh,+Wake,+North+Carolina&z=16 Raleigh Project Night meets on first Tuesdays.

The project is in python, and while we are looking for some python experience, it does not have to be your main ax. The project is Pulp (http://www.pulpproject.org/), which is part of the upcoming version of Red Hat's Satellite product. In addition to managing software packaged as RPMs, we have our hands in many other exciting areas of work such as docker, puppet, ostree, and openstack. All of our work is fully open-source (https://github.com/pulp). It's a great team of people, and I strongly endorse Red Hat as a great place to work. If you are interested, feel free to talk to me about our referral program before you apply. ;) I'm also happy to answer your questions. http://jobs.redhat.com/jobs/descriptions/software-engineer-python-raleigh-north-carolina-job-1-4490292 Michael -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This looks like it may be very well attended. When: Thursday, June 26, 7pm Where: Bull City Coworking, 112 S. Duke St., Suite 6, Durham Directions: http://bullcitycoworking.com/location/ http://tripython.org/Members/cbc/june-14-mtg http://www.meetup.com/tripython/events/176944592/ """ Erik Rose of Mozilla will reprise his PyCon presentation, Designing Poetic APIs. "The language you speak determines the thoughts you can think. Thus, API designers (and that includes you, if you've ever coined a function) have a great duty, as language inventors, to expand the mental canvases of those who come after. We'll concretize that into 7 hallmarks of good APIs, pulling examples (and bloopers) from popular Python libraries." Lightning talks, 5 to 10 minutes extemporaneous expositions on a topic of interest to you, something you recently learned, kind of like a show and tell, are always welcome as well. Please see the parking instructions on the BCC website. A wide variety of possibilities for the after-meeting are within steps of BCC.
