Hello, LUGgers!

FOSS Fair was fun! But, because we spent all our time preparing for
that, I don't really have time to organize a proper LUG meeting for this
Tuesday. (We've already used our "cop-out" meeting topic for this
semester.) Fortunately, another great local group, TriPython, is having
a Python Project Night we can crash. In the words of Chris Calloway,
TriPython's organizer:

"Have a project you want to show off, share, seek help with, or just get
some work done surrounded by like minded Python lovers? Join us for our
monthly project night and do just that! Don't have something to work on?
Just need some help with Python? Show up and enjoy the energy, sprint on
an open source project, find something interesting to contribute to or
be inspired by! The setting is informal and there is no schedule, so
don't worry if you show up past the start time. Whether you are a Python
newbie needing help or have an open source project you want to share,
come hang out and hack."

When: Tuesday, March 4th, 6 PM - unknown end time
Where: WebAssign: 1791 Varsity Drive, Suite 200, on Centennial Campus

I know a lot of LUGgers work with or are interested in learning Python,
so this will be a good opportunity to network with area Pythonistas --
TriPython is always enthusiastic about helping people learn the language
and get involved in the community. We hope to see you there!

I'm looking for a PyCon ticket. It only became clear today that I can

didn't. Email me offline if you can help.

It's been amazing watching this Python-powered company grow by leaps and bounds during a recession. Best wishes and much well-deserved future success to Caktus.

Well, I have been waiting for a public announcement to clear my way to
discussing this and I did get a greenlight to doing so yesterday, so this
is as good a thread as any. Thanks for the good wishes, Chris! It has been
pretty great to watch this growth from the inside, too. I have been with
Caktus for *most* of its existence and certainly got to see it grow at an
amazing pace.

As the article says, we won't be ready to move until the end of the year.
We have plenty of time to enjoy our existing Carrboro location, the
fantastic atmosphere and lunch options of the Carrboro summer, and ongoing
project nights and quarterly TriPython hosting.

However... I'd like to start the search now for a replacement
Carrboro/Chapel Hill location to host every third month in our place, after
we finally move to Durham. I don't want to create a vacuum, so please if
anyone knows a possible new location that could pick up in 2015, speak up.

Well, I have had a very recent serendipitous development just in the 
last couple of days. I thought Monday was going to be my last day at 
UNC. After ten years of good luck with soft funding, the government's 
create jobs by eliminating jobs program called the sequester had finally 
caught up to me and robbed me of all my funding from all sources all at 
once. And my brightest job prospect was in Nags Head. I was kind of 
planning on moving to the beach in a few months, which has been my 
lifelong dream.

But as of Monday I will instead be a Marine Sciences employee on loan to 
RENCI, UNC's supercomputing center (http://www.renci.org/). They are 
starting to get more serious about Python, finally. They've been doing 
bits and pieces with it here and there. But now they've seen the bright 
shining light and want a lot more. They called up my boss and bada-bing, 
I suddenly had to cancel my plans on how to spend my severance pay 
sprinting in Italy (http://abstract-technology.com/plog-event-plone-italy).

The thing about RENCI is, really nice meeting rooms. And a desire to be 
seen doing community outreach.

However, I have to keep a watch on this. There is still a possibility 
that I may become a Marine Sciences employee on loan to RENCI in Nags 
Head because of a possibly advantageous three-way funding model with the 
Coastal Studies Institute which would require my work on CSI premises at 
the coast. I just won't know for sure until a few more months go by. 
There are too many moving pieces in play at the moment to predict. But 
for right now if nothing changes, I think we could start meeting at 
RENCI soon. My involvement with this group is one of the reasons I'm 
being hired, so I plan to bring it up at my first meeting with them on 
Monday.

I'm also really looking forward to project night in Durham. :)

This is all tremendous news! It'll be nice having the Caktus folks in
Durham - I work on the ATC right now, so the idea easy access to more
awesome people doing great things with Python makes me extremely happy
:)

Speaking of which, I noticed that AnsibleWorks has also moved into the
neighborhood...

Anyway, I've worked out of the RENCI offices before, they're extremely
nice :) I miss those days, it's great to hear that you're not SOL due
to government shenanigans, and RENCI getting serious about Python is
big news - this sounds like a great opportunity for you and I'm sure
it'll work out really well.

</gushing>

Cheers,
JJ

Oh, and lots of free on-site after-hours parking, which was the primary 
impetus for moving the Chapel Hill/Carrboro meetings from UNC to Caktus 
to begin with.

Yes, congratulations on this new opportunity Chris, and many thanks for
your kind words about Caktus! It's a relief to hear that there is
(hopefully!) a good potential home for the quarterly Chapel Hill meeting in
the future.

I did want to add that Caktus would not be what it is today without the
presence and support of the Python community throughout the Triangle, and
this seems like a good time to say "thank you!" While there are certainly
more space options in Durham, come the end of the year, we're looking
forward to continuing to support the group in whatever ways we can from our
new home. We have a space specifically scoped out on the first floor for
trainings, meet ups, and project nights, and I for one can't wait to see it
put to use.

Best to all,
Tobias

How'd ya guess. :) Yeah, Blanton and Luettich and things ADCIRC. I had 
worked alongside Brian already when he was a research professor in my 
department many years ago. But I think the idea is to have me branch out 
in the organization wherever Python is needed. They mentioned having me 
work on an iRODS project.

Certainly TriPython would not be what it is today without the support 
and participation of Caktus over the last several years. It was always a 
pleasure to meet at Caktus for general meetings and project nights. 
Thank you very much for all the good times and camaraderie.

Subject: [TriZPUG] Alert
Message-ID: <5335B875.5000705@unc.edu>

We had a great time at Satisfactions. But I must alert you to a 
situation I experienced there last night. I made a single item charge to 
my debit card there that went through fine. Then a couple of hours later 
I used the same card for a two item charge. It was denied. This puzzled 
me as there were way more than sufficient funds available but I just 
gave them another card and chalked it up to my overzealous bank. After 
Satisfactions I went to Kinkos to get some shipping supplies and my 
debit card was denied again. I went back out to my truck and checked my 
online banking and found that Satisfactions had run my second ticket 
through four times and the charges had gone through. Not only that, but 
I was also charged for a third ticket that was not an amount that was on 
either of my other two that I did offer the card for.

I went to my bank morning and they backed out the repeated transactions 
for my second ticket but told me I should contact Satisfactions myself 
to dispute the third charge and get them to refund the charge. They said 
this would be easier and faster than going through a fraud claim with 
the bank.

So maybe check your credit card statements from last night.

The main brython mailing list is at:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/brython

But feel free to ask questions here too.

Also, just wanted to take this opportunity to mention that we are always
looking for new presenters for PYPTUG, so if anybody is up for a road trip
to Winston Salem, let me know.

If you were interested in the positions I mentionned but we didn't get to
talk, drop me an email.

Yes, very cool. I believe CoffeeScript can use the same trick with an in-browser interpreter:

	<script id="entry-template" type=?text/coffeescript?>

Other tools (esp. templating systems) use a similar trick to hide utility markup in the page:

	<script id="entry-template" type="text/x-handlebars-template?>

The more you know...

Hi Francois,

I was at your TriPython "Brython" presentation and at the "after meeting", but 
didn't get a chance to talk further with you.

I have done significant Production automation using |Twisted| async libraries, 
with http://Cyclone.io, Postgresql (Tx dbapi), Redis (|txredis|), 
http://restmq.com/, for Lenovo and a small Cisco Cxxx (NetEngr) training 
company.   I have done some Django (can deploy large sites) -- for 
development, am ramping up, at this point.   I have significant DevOps skills 
on many Linux distros, and previous Solaris / Unix / C / C++ experience, 
including kernel builds et cetera.

http://www.linkedin.com/in/markb1/

https://github.com/biggers

I will be in the Winston area on this *Tuesday* night, for a contra-dance at 
Salem College.   Perhaps we can meet, for dinner or coffee?  I am interested 
in hearing about Inmar's needs.

thank you,
-----mark
