[TriPython] Reminder: TriPython November 2016 Meeting: The Code Review Review

[Chris Calloway]

Meeting tomorrow at WebAssign...

Erik's talk is expected to take only 45 minutes. So if you have a half
hour talk to give before lightning talks, speak up and get on the
program for the meeting.

When: Thursday, November 17, 2016, 7-9pm
Where: WebAssign
         NCSU Centennial Campus
         1791 Varsity Drive, Suite 200
         Raleigh
What: "Your code is bad and you are bad. Have a bad day." It seems like
a lot of code reviews head that way, but we can turn this around.
Constructive Code Review is a new part of Mozilla's onboarding process,
a cultural nudge toward fostering encouragement, spending the right
amount of time mentoring newcomers, reducing nitpicking without wrecking 
quality, and understanding our own crazy human emotions. Join us (and 
bring your stories) for a session devoted to bettering code, coders, and 
our use of time.

Our presenter is Erik Rose. Erik makes static analysis, search, and
pattern-finding software at Mozilla, venting a byproduct of eclectic
Python libraries. Skeletons in his closet include the self-bootstrapping 
  mechanism for Let's Encrypt, the hash-verification functionality in 
pip,  and a book about Plone. He's a frequent speaker and keynoter at 
various PyCons but is really just using the travel as an opportunity to 
find the world's best root beer.

Extemporaneous "lightning talks" of 5-10 minute duration are also
welcome and don't need to be pre-announced. Plenty of free after hours
parking is available in the upper level of the deck behind WebAssign
(turn through the median just before the intersection of Varsity and
Main Campus Drives). If the door is locked, call the number posted on
the door. An after-meeting location for food and beverage will be
decided at the meeting (usually BaDa Wings for the Thursday night
draught specials).
