Python Ireland June meetup @ Science Gallery

Talk 1: "Devpi" by Nicolas Laurance (https://ie.linkedin.com/in/nlaurance)
Devpi is a private Pypi/Cheeseshop to manage python packages internally and/of deploy virtual environments while being offline. I plan to introduce the tool, the quick start setup for a laptop, and discuss more advanced configuration for a shared in-house usage . (Suitable for beginners)

About Nicolas
Nicolas's been playing with code in general for more than 3 decades, and with Python in particular since the last century. He's on a a never-ending journey into learning and discovering the python ecosystem.

Talk 2: "Task queues with redis and rq" by Nadja Deininger (https://twitter.com/machine_lady)
Nadja is going to give a brief introduction into the rq package, which is a library for task queues on top of Redis. She'll give some examples on how to use it in a (small-scale) distributed system, and briefly touch upon some lessons learned while using it in a real-world application.
The target audience should have a little knowledge of Python (beginners should be fine), but knowledge of Redis is optional, and I'm assuming they have never used rq.

About Nadja
Nadja is a software developer in Beautifeye, a startup that applies computer vision techniques to social media in order to create tools for marketers. She works as a Python developer, mostly on their internal architecture and their database backend.

After the talks, we will be heading to Lincoln's Inn, we have one half of the pub reserved at 8PM.
