Welcome to SyPyA group of Sydney based Python programmers who normally meet the first Thursday of each month. Our meetings are open to any coders interested in discussing FOSS, dynamic languages, web etc. There is an iCal feed of events as well. We generally have a presentation or demo(s) every month which could be on anything you want to talk about that you think other python people will be interested in. Then we go to the pub. If you have been playing with something cool and python that you want to share contact Dylan Jay (the convener) with your ideas and we'll book you in. Dylan Jay is from pretaweb.com and can be contacted via dylan at companyname.com.

With only some rudimentary programming and system administration skills at his disposal Dja ngo appeared an excellent choice for his project, owing to its low barrier to entry and powerful feature set one can grow into. 05/02 - Special double header "FOSS online video distro technologies, using Plumi and the Plone CMS framework." - Andrew Nicholson, "Make Python Apps Start Fast" - Andrew Bennetts.

Bio: Tennessee Leeuwenburg is a software developer for the Bureau of Meteorology, a member of the Python Papers editorial team and has been working in Python for around 5 years. His IT interests are in information management, community engagement, artificial intelligence and Open Source in government. His work at the Bureau is visible as automatically generated text weather forecasts which appear on the Bureau of Meteorology website and are distributed to news networks. (contact tleeuwenburg@gmail.com) Topic: Out-of-hours, Tennessee has been working on the underpinning for an AI system based in Python, with lofty ambitions but only a pencil and napkin to assist in development. He will be present his ideas for why another AI project is necessary and the early technical designs for the system. Topics covered will include: a brief overview of comparable projects; a discussion of why the project is important; code architecture for the AI agent; and how the project could be run. He would like to use this session to expand his notes and refine the technical ideas, so expect the discussion to go around the room as well as coming from the front. 06/11 - Git vs hg vs bzr

Date & Time: 6:30PM (for a 7pm start) - 8:30PM Thursday, 4th Sep 2008
Meeting Type: Presentation
Venue: Google Australia, Level 18, Tower 1 Darling Park, 201 Sussex St, Sydney This month we have a talk by Anthony Baxter on Python 3000.
Anthony Baxter Google/Python Software Foundation Anthony has been involved in the open-source community for more than a decade, largely working in Python and, in the last few years, on Python. He’s worked in the Internet area and in the telco space, where he gets to exercise his incredibly short attention span by working on far far too many things at once. He’s written or contributed to more open source projects than he can remember – mostly related to networking and protocol implementations. He’s currently the release manager for Python. This is much less glamorous than you might think. After a number of years working for a travel-based telephone company, he’s recently started working for Google Australia. Anthony’s spoken at a number of conferences, including a keynote at linux.conf.au 2008, at each of the 4 OSDC conferences held so far, and presented Effective Python Programming at OSCON 2005. http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2008/public/schedule/speaker/3464 Please RSVP and turn up on or before 6:30 to ensure you get a in. To contact me ring Dylan on 0421477460. Notes: Congregate in the foyer downstairs near the security desk at or before 6:30 and the Google people will start taking people up in the elevators.
After the meeting we will go to Hotel Sweeney, 236 Clarence Street, Sydney, for some beer and thai food (if you are hungry). http://www.whereisthepub.org/content/view/88/51/ SyPy Presentation: GAE demo with converting sql to datastore

Topic: Python meets Beer 2.0.
Due to a clash with beer 2.0 I suggest that all sypyers meet for drinks at Beer 2.0. If you are thinking about or already have a sydney based web2.0 startup then you will already know about Beer 2.0. If you have played with any app framework then I bet you've thought about making the next twitter so why not come along and chat to those who are.
