The January 2012 COhPy meeting will be Monday, January 30th, at 6:30 PM.

The meeting will be at the New Song Community Church in the Bell-Haun Building.
The address is 937 Eastwind Drive, Westerville, OH 43081.

Our main speaker this month will be Brandon Craig Rhodes. Brandon will be previewing a talk he is giving at PyCon:

Python, Linkers, and Virtual Memory

Why does “top” show that your Python process uses 110 MB of virtual memory but has a resident set size of 9 MB? Does it consume more memory to spawn several interpreters, or to run one Python and have it fork() further workers? What is an “undefined symbol,” anyway? Learn about how an operating system manages memory, loads shared libraries, and what this means for Python servers and applications.

Because it's geared toward PyCon, the talk will be relatively short. If anyone would like to present another talk around a half-hour in length, please contact Brian Costlow or Eric Floehr. 

After the main presentation(s) we'll have time for lightning talks, and we'll discuss locations for future meetings.
