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. Plenty of free after hours parking is available in the RENCI parking deck."""

I have been a patient at UNC hospital for the last three weeks where I have been receiving IV antibiotics for a particularly difficult case of peripheral cellulitis I somehow picked up at the SciPy Conference. It is highly likely that within the next two or three days I will be transferred to a rehab facility of currently unknown location in order to finish out my antibiotic regimen. Rehab is supposed to be a sign that I'm getting better, however slowly. What I have learned throughout this ordeal is that I have forged bonds of friendship through TriPython that transcend any mere interest in a programming language. I have received a great deal of support while in the hospital including people taking care of my personal affairs on a day to day basis. And a considerable portion of that support has come through friends I first met at a TriPython event. In fact, the amount of support has been overwhelming whereby I haven't even been able to acknowledge all the offers of support. Please know that your kindnesses are appreciated even if appreciated silently. I also want to take the opportunity to reassure TriPython that my personal challenges in no way affect the ongoing operation of TriPython activities. If you've ever heard me deny that I am the "leader" of TriPython when called such, you are seeing the proof of it now. TriPython is the result of many people who over many years have entered into a web of trust to each handle a specific responsibility without supervision. You might recognize it as a rather Pythonic form of self-organization if you've ever been a student of the history of the Python community. Project nights continue to go on. Meetings continue to go on. Things continue to go on. The only role I play in this grand scheme is one of town crier with meeting announcements and town fool at meetings. Even those activities you will see will continue to go on in what is hopefully my brief enough absence. So that's all that needs to be said about that.

My apology if you receive it more than once. I am heading to Charlotte for the Cryptolina conference early Friday morning and coming back Saturday evening after the event ends. I have a gratis booth in return for featuring the event in the Triangle Career Development Newsletter and I have volunteered to video all the talks. I can get one extra person in for free, preferably someone willing to help maintain the gratis booth, where I will have swag for the All Things Open conference and the Triangle Career Development Newsletter. Last year Ed Moy, the former US Mint Director 2006-2011, was the main keynote. His speech drew from experience working with two presidential administrations and he had a seat on the committee that was tasked with preventing global meltdown during the last financial crisis. Everyone who experienced his speech gained profound perspective. It was truly incredible. I am making room in my busy schedule for this event because at last year's event I realized this technology has the potential to be disruptive on a massive scale. There is a new ecosystem of developers and startup opportunities growing around cryptocurrency. It is also important to be involved right now because regulatory legislation is being written. Many years ago people used to barter for everything, which was inefficient. Banks provided an efficient system and solved that problem. However, today cryptocurrency eliminates the need for a financial institution to efficiently transmit funds to each other. They say even the stock exchanges could be replaced by the blockchain. Financial institutions will naturally be motivated to write legislation proposals to protect their interests. It is something to keep an eye on and we need to educate ourselves and our Legislators on this stuff so they can make informed decisions when making our new laws.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <55E4C0CF.1090007@unc.edu> FYI... Hi all, Caktus is pleased to announce the soft launch of Django Girls RDU , a free one-day Django workshop for women. First workshop on October 3rd. Applications due September 4th. Django Girls has been an international success in training over 1,600 women to build their very first Django site! We had the good fortune to work with them at PyCon and they're an amazing bunch. Many of you have gotten a chance to check out their amazing tutorial. We'd love it if you could help spread the word about the Django Girls workshop by encouraging your folks to do one of the following: * *Apply to be a student. *Build your first Django blog site in a one day workshop for free! No experience required. * *Apply to be a coach. *Spend a day helping others learn Django. Detailed coaching manual available and past Django Girl coaches will be there. * *Volunteer to review applications. *Not enough time to mentor but want to make a difference? Help us select applicants. Email durham at djangogirls.org or hao at caktusgroup.com * *Follow @DjangoGirlsRDU . * * *Recommend financial aid sponsors.* We may have some out of town applicants or those that need travel funds. If you know of a friendly firm that would be willing to help sponsor a student, that would be great! Please email durham at djangogirls.org or hao at caktusgroup.com . The official website launch will be Wednesday afternoon. If you'd like to be included on the website as a community partner, please just let me know. Happy to include you in exchange for your promotion help :) Many thanks, Hao *Hao Nguyen *Strategy Director 919-951-0052 x209 <#UNIQUE_ID_SafeHtmlFilter_> hao at caktusgroup.com www.caktusgroup.com
