PGHPy Talks at Google

This month we'll be meeting at google where Nick Sloan (http://twitter.com/nicksloan) will be presenting on his experiences with leveraging distribute to package and deploy projects at Rent Jungle.

After that, Joe Esposito (http://twitter.com/joeyespo) will lead a discussion pulled from recent news and blog posts in the Python community. We will send out some links on Monday or Tuesday so that you can read before the meeting, and we'll summarize on Wednesday. There will also be a discussion on meetup.com for you to post links to articles that you want to discuss.

Sorry for the late announcement. See you all there!

UPDATE:

Joe has pulled together a list of interesting blog posts and news, and he'll be leading a discussion about these at this month's meeting.

Take a moment to read through what interests you, and we'll have a gab about some of these at the meeting. See you there!
