Gearing up for the next meeting (24/04/2010)

[Neil Muller]

Since we're now less than 3 weeks from the next meeting, I guess it
time to start trying to get some ideas going.

So, suggestions for talks or activities / volunteers / people who can
be easily "volunteered" ?

Hey Neil, do you have any Python contacts in Jhb?

After a discussion on #ctpug I'm volunteering to lead a Bitten sprint
if there's enough interest. I'm hoping David Fraser will join in since
he also has commit access.

If there is enough enthusiasm the plan would be to tackle some of the
tickets that need to be addressed for the 0.6 and 0.6.1 milestones [1,
2]. The 0.6 ones are obviously more important in terms of getting a
0.6 release out. We can fall back to 0.6.1 issue if we can't find
enough suitable taks in the 0.6 list. I'll try coordinate with the
current maintainer (osimons) beforehand so we don't end up working in
the wrong direction.

Testing Bitten changes is a little bit tricky. It does have a decent
test suite but since it's a web app one does ideally need a Bitten and
Trac instance running to do final tests on before committing. The
plan is for people to run and extend the unit tests on local machines
and have a Bitten / Trac instance on the CTPUG server to do final
tests against (slave can be run anywhere).

Osimons does also maintain a copy of Bitten at bitbucket --
http://bitbucket.org/osimons/bitten/. That might be the easiest way to
queue up patches that neither David nor I feel comfortable committing.

So, who's keen?

Yay, I'd been hoping we'd do one of those - I'll be there

I've got some Windows VMs that we could use for slave testing too

So that's two votes for, and a couple of possibles from #ctpug, so,
unless I hear strenuous objections soon, I'm going to call this
consensus.

Woot. I'll start chatting to the lead Bitten developer about what to work on.

[Foxinni]

Hi All,

I just have to say that i'm keen to come to a Python type course, or
meetup.

But i have no idea what going on there on the Google Groups. It is
such a bad interface. :(

I've not attended the previous meetings so I'm afraid i might be out
of the loop. Is this the case? If so can i catch up anywhere?

Will try keep updated here. :)

You can try joining us on IRC or have a look at the wiki
(http://ctpug.org.za/). Instructions for joining the IRC channel are
available on the front page.

Otherwise feel free to just show up at a meeting and introduce yourself.
