Meeting or no meeting?

[Kevin Dangoor]

Well, there haven't been any meeting topic suggestions, and we're now
two days from the usual MichiPUG meeting time. So, the choices now
are:

1. someone comes up with a discussion topic
2. there is a topic-free meeting (we've had those successfully in the
past. there never seems to be a shortage of things to talk about)
3. no meeting this month

I'm not going to be able to attend. So, it's up to everyone else to
decide whether or not there should be a topic-free meeting.

I vote for topic-free meeting (something always comes up)

I'm out with a broken foot, so no meeting for me in any case.

I can only suggest things that I would like to see.

 

I'd love to see the state of python in web host environments. Especially ones where maybe you only have fastcgi allowed.

I'm pretty sure you can connect fastcgi->WSGI, which means that you
can pretty much do whatever you want.

Note, however, that most shared hosts will have some limits over which
they will kill your processes and such.

I think both flup and jons bridge fcgi->wsgi

We could also "reschedule" the meeting as a python BOF at ArbCamp on
the 18th. I figure most of us will be at ArbCamp, right?

I think we should get together.  There's always stuff to talk about.  

We could also do one of those coding dojo exercises or some other live coding again.

Pyjamas would also be an interesting topic, since that's been having
regular releases lately. Looks like it's maturing...

If I was going to be there, I'd try to pull a demo of that together...
but I'm not... alas.

I also think we should definitely meet.

Matt Pizzimenti and I thought it'd be cool to do 3-5 minute lightning
talks, and afterwards have people hang out/hack on stuff/further
discuss the lightning talk topics. Some ideas we had for the lighting
talks:

- Tricks for Interacting with Google App Engine (Matt)
- metamake: http://code.google.com/p/metamake/ (Matt)
- Visualizing GPS shapefiles with Python (me)

We could come up with more topics right before the meeting. At any
rate Matt and I will be there.

Lightning talks good!

I can do one on what's coming in nose 0.11, if folks are interested.

I like the idea of making the meetings more about lightning talks and hacking.  One interesting hacking exercise would be to see how hard it is to port some of these modules to the newly released python 3000, and different ways to maintain support for 2.x and 3000 runtimes.

[Matt Pizzimenti]

JP I'd definitely like to hear about new stuff in nose - my favorite
unit testing tool. Lightning talks are perfect for this stuff.

see you there,
Matt
