Puerto Rico Python is pleased to announce our next
meeting. The meeting will be April 9th at 6:30 in the offices
of Vasa Consulting. Be advised that this is a new date. Our normally
scheduled Wednesday meeting was not possible, because the conference room was
already booked.
We will start
a new content track with this meeting. From now on, all meetings of the
Puerto Rico Python Interest Group (prPIG) will include a tutorial or
demonstration from a group member or a specially invited guest.
Our first
tutorial will be offered by the co-founders of Blimp, a project management web
service built in Python. You can get blimp at http://getblimp.com. prPIG members
Giovanni Collazo and José Padilla will be offering us a long behind the curtain
at their software development stack.
Our "Hack
the Hackathon" meeting was a smashing success. You can watch the
recording and see the fluid flow of great ideas. The prPIG
"Hackathon" meeting from 3/27 is available from Youtube via an On
Air Google Hangout.
Although we
are still seeking a date to lock in our first Python Hackathon, what we have
decided on is the content. The prPIG Python Hackathon will consist of
three tracks. The first track will be a Python Install Fest; anyone wanting to
install Python can bring their laptop and prPIG will make sure they walk away
with a working version of Python.
The second
track will be tutorials given by prPIG members. The final track will be a
Python Sprint. Using the Hacker League, prPIG will host a Python hacking
contest. More details of the hackathon will be available soon.
An example of
the type of content that prPIG will strive to produce in
our Hackathon was recently created by one of its' members. Robert
Rosario produced "Screencast de como comenzar un proyecto de Django +
Virtualenv;" thus completing one of prPIG's original goals,
generate Python-related content in Spanish.
