========================================================================================================================= We've got two fun months of PyGTA lined up. This month we'll be exploring the world of the Tornado web server ( http://www.tornadoweb.org ), next month we've got a 3-speaker dress rehearsal for PyCon 2010. The details: Tuesday, 19th January, 2010, 7pm Tornado Hacking Tornado < http://www.tornadoweb.org > ( http://www.tornadoweb.org ) is an Open Source non-blocking web server. It's used by FriendFeed to provide lightweight "server push" to the browser on the scale of thousands of simultaneous clients per server. We'll explore how to code with Tornado, and in particular, how to write callback-based asynchronous code. We'll also look at how server-push (polling, long-polling and streaming variants) works works on both the server and client side. If people are interested, we can also look at the REST-based CouchDB (asynchronous) client, or do some collaborative hacking on the ChatTrack (conference feedback tool) or TorChannels (generic push channels for Tornado) codebases. Tuesday, 16th February, 2010, 7pm (gather) PyCon Dress Rehearsal 3 PyCon 2010 Presenters will do a dress rehearsal of their PyCon 2010 presentations < http://us.pycon.org/2010/conference/talks/ > just before they head down to Atlanta. All three talks are targeting beginner or general audiences, so feel free to bring along your new Pythonista friends. We have 3 PyCon previews scheduled: * Think Globally, Hack Locally - Teaching Python in Your Community — Leigh Honeywell * What We've Learned From Building Basie — Greg Wilson * Debating 'til Dawn: Topics to keep you up all night — Mike Fletcher We will give each presenter 20 minutes and then as much question/answer and feedback time as they want. At PyCon they'll only get 30 minutes total, but we want to give them as much feedback as possible so they can polish their presentation for the larger audience. We'll start the presentations at 7:30 (sharp) at Linux Caffe. If you bring a laptop, there will be an immediate feedback channel available. Directions to the venue, RSS feeds of upcoming events, and all the details are available on the web site: http://www.pygta.org Enjoy yourselves, Mike -- ________________________________________________ Mike C.

Some bots were editing without login (I guess most time accidentally) in the past and enwp-admins have had trouble with that; anonymous bot-editing is and were against our toolserver-rules too. So they plan to softblock (that means: editing without login is not possible) our IPs in 2 weeks from now. So if you run a bot, please make sure that you login to edit and test your bot that it works with a softblocked ip. You may also test other tools, that edit the english wikipedia. Please notice also, that it is not allowed to run a bot on the web-servers. The discussion of the policy-changing can be found at [1]. Sincerly, DaB.
