There wasn't strong support for starting early at the end of last
year, but there' s no particular reason not to start at the end of
Jan.
Sounds sensible.

First Meeting of the year

graemegl...@gmail.com (Graeme Glass) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 14:53:50 UT

Greetings,
Hope all had a fantastic festive season.
Do we have any consensus on the date for the first meeting this year? I see
it's set as early Feb. Is there a reason why we can't start end of Jan? 30
Jan?
In terms of activies I propose we sort out [link], get
[link] to redirect to that page for the cape-town pug

Re: [ctpug] Reading html form data from Python and e-mailing it

If you accessed the page before setting everything up correctly, try
flushing all of your browser caches and then returning to the page.
Some browser (e.g. Firefox) cache the content type information instead
of re-reading it from the server each time even if the page is
refreshed [1].

[1] On the face of it this behaviour seems rather counter-intuitive,

Hi guys!

Thanks for all the help. I decided to go with the plain cgi module,
but now I am running into a problem. I am not sure if the problem is
in my html code or in the Apache setup. When I click on the button in

Registered users

Spammers abused the anonymous registration on python.org.za to
register themselves and upload spam to their home folders. We have
since disabled the creation of home folders for uploading content. We
want to clean up the registered accounts on the site and need you to
send us the username you used to register on the site within 30 days.

I set up fsvs so basically any changes in /etc you can see with:
fsvs status
and then commit with
fsvs commit -m "this is what I changed"
This is just recorded locally at present and there's probably a bit of fixing up so feel free to ignore in the mean time
I'm in rural KZN till Sunday and on GPRS so probably won't accomplish anything more till next week

CTPUG server

jerith_goo...@jerith.za.net (Jeremy Thurgood) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:51:22 UT

Good morrow,

After some brief discussion between myself, Adrianna and Stefano, it was
decided that Operation Fox Assault would be the first CTPUG project to
use the shiny new server. To this end, I have done (or plan to do) the
following:

* Install apache2
* Create foxassault user to own all Fox Assault data

We are basically only using Python at Translate.org.za, and I'll be
happy to talk about some things I've worked with, and perhaps some of

Thanks Stefan, Walter :)

Where are you guys situ'ed?

I might be able to arrange a venue in JHB central, must first touch

Who would be able to talk at these meetings?
