Python Atlanta July Meetup

Sklyar Saveland will give a several-minute lightning talk on Pinax, a web platform built atop Django that provides dozens of features and abilities in the areas of authentication, user management, and basic social networking (blogs, twitter integration) that each site would otherwise always have to write for themselves.

Brandon Rhodes is, at the moment, our other volunteer speaker, and will be talking about the Sphinx documentation system and how he uses it to run the entire PyEphem web site.

(Update: we were going to have Carl Karsten present to talk to us about PyCon audio and video, but due to schedule complications he is still at the O'Hare airport outside of Chicago and his new flight will not even take off until around the time our meeting ends. So Carl will not be presenting tonight!)

After an optional 6pm dinner at Figo Pasta at the corner of Howell Mill Road and Huff Road, we will meet as usual in the spacious and comfortable auditorium of the GTRI Food Processing Building at 7:30pm for our monthly meeting. Expect discussion, problem solving, and talks that introduce aspects of Python both basic (for newcomers) and arcane (to keep the experts awake). The meeting will kick off with ten minutes of notes and news in the regular "Nuts and Bolts" talk by Brandon Rhodes, then proceed on to our main presentations.
