If we have a wifi connection we could even visit some of the project's
sites.
Just this weekend I found 4 smaller frameworks I've never heard of.
I think just being exposed to what is out there is a good idea.
If some folks have worked with a framework and can share their
impression that works.
Slides are a lot of work so few with do it.
Panels get boring 95% of the time in a heart beat.
The other 5% are priceless.
I thought the last meeting was really great.
As it was open to explore and free to discuss as we went based on who
showed.
This might be an advantage for the meeting that could drive people to
show up.

out there could make an interesting evening of discussion.
We could do that, possibly in June. We haven't had an in-depth
discussion of the state of the frameworks for a long time.
How should we organize this? I don't know if anybody wants to do a lot
of research and make tutorial-presentations, but we do have people who
are well knowledgeable about specific frameworks. How about if we get
one person each to champion a particular package? They can talk about
it for 5-10 minutes (how it's unique, what advantages it has, its
current development status, and how soon it will work on Python 3) and
then answer questions, either about the specific framework or general
framework-comparison questions. A kind of panel, but not necessarily
having the panelists all sit at a table in front. We could also have
champions for other aspects of web development, such as the plethora
of non-framework libraries.
