[SLUG] SyPy THIS THURSDAY: Making R restfully enterprising with Django - Richard Volpato
SyPy: Sydney Python Users group meetup 6 Jan 2010 6:15: Arrive 6:30: Lightning talks (email me, or just bring a 5min talk along) 6:45: Making R restfully enterprising with Django - Richard Volpato 7:40 Social networking and beers and dinner nearby *RSVP: Please RSVP so we have an idea of numbers* via http://sypy.eventbrite.com/ Main Talk summary Using, mostly Python, the challenge of this project was to offer within an intranet, a RESTful 'statistical service' powered by R (a statistical language). This ‘service’ (to crunch a lot of usage data from across Australia) had to communicate securely and reliably with other systems, schedule and prioritize requests of its services, and of course, enable users to select and filter the data through interactive graphs in the browser. The components of this system include, beyond a specialised R package (CAL-R): • MySql as a data store; • Django, as the application server dealing with workflow, page delivery and tracking; • Django-Piston, making the whole service available as a ‘RESTful service’ to the business. • Connections to R via Pyper (a piping system that maps R objects into Python objects and vice versa). T • Load and composition of tasks for CAL-R, controlled by a queuing/scheduling system based on RabbitMQ and Django Celery • Formatting and user manipulation of objects on the page (eg drag and drop, select etc) is delivered via jQuery (a JavaScript framework) and • Protovis (a JavaScript implementation of ‘ggplot’ style graphics) renders custom interactive graphs in the browser (note: not just a pdf!). Biography Richard Volpato, born in Italy, studied at ANU and Cambridge (UK) mostly sociology and social research. He has also consulted across a large number of industries, notably forestry, tourism, superannuation, education, health, religion and urban/regional planning, the last of which led (via Zope Corporation) to a successful tender for the Victorian Government Planning scheme amendments system (ZAPP: Zope Amendment Production Platform). His current role at the Copyright Agency as Manager of Data Quality and Analysis has been to improve data quality, its value and the systems used to acquire and process it Getting There: See the eventbrite page for details - http://sypy.eventbrite.com Free free to join us at the pub after/instead.

[SLUG] SyPy Aug 5th: Scripting real time 3D simulations - Mycosm Studio - Jeff Cotter + lightning talks + social sypy
RSVP via http://anyvite.com/x5jz2ygcez 6:15: Arrive and enjoy munchies provided by Google Australia 6:30: Five minute lightning talks (open to all) 6:45 Main Talk - Scripting real time 3D simulations - Mycosm Studio - Jeff Cotter 8:00 Social networking and beers and dinner at the Harlequin Inn. Scripting real time 3D simulations - Mycosm Studio: This talk will give an overview of mycosm and it's embedded pythondevelopment environment that allows you to create real-time highfidelity 3D visualizations and simulation. Mycosm uses Python to notonly script behaviour, control, and interaction with external programsbut also as a means of fundamentally constructing the 3D environment. We will go through some practical examples of programming mycosm anddiscuss it's potential uses. We will also discuss the advantages ofthe choice of python for this product. Jeff Cotter: Jeff has an impressive record of innovation and software project management. As the head software engineer for Electro Optic Systems Pty Limited (EOS) he was instrumental in the design and development for the EOS Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) facilities in Japan and Australia. He was also the head software engineer behind the development of the software systems for: • A remotely controlled telescope observatory facilities for NASA (KECK observatory in Hawaii) • An astronomical observatory at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (India); • The Western Kentucky University telescope facility in the USA. One of Jeff's more significant projects was design and development of the software for operating the World's first optical space surveillance facility at Mt Stromlo for the tracking of space debris in Earth orbit. The software that Jeff and his team developed was integral to the operation of this facility which has successfully tracked debris as small as 10cm at over 2000km/h in space. This project was commissioned by the US Air Force and the Australian Department of Defence with the objective of implementing over 50 such facilities globally to track every piece of debris in the Earth's orbit. Jeff's innovative skills and excellent design skills formed the basis for invention and development of the Simurbansoftware suite, now widely acknowledged as one of the most advanced 3D Direct X based visualisation engines in the world. Since mid 2007, Jeff has led the RD for Mycosm - the company's hi- fidelity multiplayer 3D simulation technology platform. Further Details: We will also have slots for 5 minute lightning talks.

The tutorial will focus around a Punch the Monkey game, but there should also be enough meat for more advanced people to create something cool. The second tutorial will be suitable for people who want to advanced further and will concentrate on extending skills learnt in the earlier tutorial. Some programming experience is recommended for this tutorial. During this tutorial people will create a clone of either space invaders or asteroids.

You will need to install: * Python - http://python.org * Pyglet - http://pyglet.org * Rabbyt - http://matthewmarshall.org/projects/rabbyt/ To test that everything works, I have included a small Python program which will display It works if everything is working.

[SLUG] SyPy - Feb09 - Video distro with Plumi+Plone / Make Python Apps Start Fast
Welcome to 2009, unofficial year of the python. To make up for the slow start we're having a double presentation 5th feb at google. Start time: 6:30 for a 6:45 start - *note earlier time* Notes: RSVP using anyvite [1]. Limit of 45 people. Be outside the elevators ground floor at 6:30 sharp and google people will escort you up. We will come back for late commers but if you are really late ring Dylan on 0421477460. See you all there. FOSS online video distro technologies, using Plumi and the Plone CMS framework. - Andrew Nicholson Bio - Andy Nicholson is a free software hacker and new media activist. He is currently part of the EngageMedia collective, and consultant computer engineer. EngageMedia is producing the free and open source software project, Plumi (http://www.plumi.org) - a video sharing web application, which runs http://engagemedia.org and others. ... http://www.anat.org.au/members/802 Make Python Apps Start Fast - Andrew Bennetts Command line programs such as version control tools need to run quickly so that they do not disrupt the user's work. Anything more than a heartbeat and the user gets impatient and distracted. Programming in Python is typically much easier than C/C++, but making a Python program load and execute quickly can be a challenge. This talk explains how Bazaar, a GPL-licenced distributed version control system written in Python, can execute commands like “bzr status” in as little as 100ms on my fairly modest laptop even though it has roughly 12 lines of Python source code. This talk will cover tools and techniques for both analysing and fixing causes of long startups for Python. Bio - Andrew Bennetts is a Software Developer for Canonical Ltd. Andrew works on Bazaar, a GPL-licensed version control tool written in Python. He has been a professional Python programmer since 2001. The last four of those years he's worked for Canonical, building tools to help open source developers collaborate. He's also a long-time contributor to Twisted, the asynchronous networking framework. http://wiki.osdcsydney.info/program/talk46 Date Time: Thursday February 05 - 6:30 PM Location: Google Sydney Level 18 Tower 1 Darling Park, 201 Sussex St Sydney NSW RSVP - http://anyvite.com/events/home/uyqkebx5ty/sypy-feb09-quotvideo-distro-with-plumiplonequot-quotmake-python-apps-start-fastquot-- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
