No speaker. A volunteer?

[Francois Dion]

I do not have a speaker for next week.

If someone volunteers before the weekend is over, that would be great. If not I'll have to cancel.

Francois,

Would you be interested in speaking on your Stemgraphic project?   Maybe include a small intro to Jupyter / notebooks.

For my part, I would be interested in learning more about Jupyter for business data/graphing work, versus using something closed-source like Tableau.  Cisco loves Tableau...

The alternative (to your speaking) would be to call out for Lightning Talks -- Rasp Pi 3; daily Py tricks; your/our favorite Py modules, et cetera.

Thank you for organizing this group!

Another possibility: I've twice given short updates on the progress of the VPython module that makes it easy to write Python programs that generate 3D animations. I could give a tutorial on how to actually use this tool.

I would, but: 1-  I've done the presentation in January, 2- i'm not going to be there.

Alright, Bruce, if you are up to it PYPTUG Feb. meeting will take place then. Send me a title, brief bio and abstract and I'll post it on blog and social media.


All we need is somebody to "host" the meeting. Anybody can volunteer for this, all you need to do is have people introduce themselves, then the speaker, and make sure Bruce can get the video from his laptop on the projector. Who can do this?

Excellent! So just need a title, bio and abstract from Bruce.

VPython: 3D Programming for Ordinary Mortals 

The Python module vpython makes it remarkably easy to write programs that generate navigable real-time 3D animations, as a side effect of computations. This is in contrast to most 3D graphics libraries, which require as a prerequisite very high computing skills. VPython programs can run in standard Python environments such as IDLE, Spyder, or a Jupyter notebook. They can also run in mobile devices, thanks to the use of the RapydScript-NG Python-to-JavaScript transpiler. Previous short presentations on VPython focused on its architecture and implementation. This presentation will instead be in the form of a tutorial on how to use VPython. No programming background other than basic Python is required. At glowscript.org click "Example programs" to see a variety of applications, which run in your browser. At vpython.org are instructions on installing the vpython module.

Bruce Sherwood is an NCSU emeritus professor of physics and a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Association of Physics Teachers, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is currently the main developer of VPython. He is co-author with Ruth Chabay of the introductory physics textbook "Matter & Interactions" for science and engineering college students (matterandinteractions.org). In North Carolina, this textbook is currently used at NCSU, High Point University, UNC-Greensboro, Wake Forest University, and Guilford College.

I'm confused. I got some kind of notification that the meeting Tuesday will be a 6:00, not 5:30.

What is the correct time?

Bruce

[Stan Thomas]

Bruce,

The standard meeting time is now 6pm.
