Next TriZPUG Meeting: Thursday, November 19, 7:30pm at Capstrat, 1201
Edwards Mill Road, First Floor, Raleigh.

Directions: http://trizpug.org/Members/psmith/capstrat-directions

David Handy will present "Why MoinMoin?" MoinMoin is an advanced, easy
to use and extensible WikiEngine with a large community of users.
Other talks are gladly accepted at this meeting. This meeting starts
at 7:30pm due to the nearby game day traffic. See the directions link
for sneaking around game day traffic. This is also a third Thursday
meeting due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

There will be refreshments. There will be door prizes. There will be
an after-meeting at a nearby pub.

Sorry, but we had to cancel the fireworks.

Hope to see all Djangonauts there!

Cheers, Chris

BTW, one of our door prizes toinght is a copy of the brand new (this
week) "Matplotlib for Python Developers" book. It has a chapter on using
matplotlib in Django, which is cool. Django + scientific visualization.
For free to some lucky Pythonista. Tonight at TriZPUG. Be there.

Heh. Funny thing. Paul won the prize. And he says he wants to give to you.

After last nights meeting and a lot of discussion concerning how it is
to your advantage (and pythonic) to pick the simplest solution to any
given web problem, I thought I might direct your attention to a
presentation given by Joel Burton at PyCon New Zealand this month. Joel
is a TriZPUG sponsor (door prizes and snacks last night were on him) who
instructs our annual Plone Boot Camp. Joel's talk is entitled "Why
Python Web Frameworks are Changing the Web." Here's the video. You need
the best network connection you can get to watch it (home wireless will
probably look jerky when streamed):

You can follow along with the presentation slides which are not very
visible on the video. Dual monitors help:

Disclaimer: I am (mis)quoted and in the talk and thanked at the end.
There is also a reference to TriZPUGer Chris Rossi's online WSGI
tutorial in the talk.
