We met at BigDoor today, and James Cooper and John deRosa gave a talk on parallel programming. 21 people attended. The speakers compared ``multiprocessing``, Redis, Celery, and MapReduce.
We raised $131 toward the SeaPIG server bill. Thank you everybody. That leaves just $81 outstanding. I asked for topics for future meetings October-ish, and people suggested BioPython (gene-sequencing software), Sage (mathematical software), MatPlotLib (for drawing plots), and a repeat of the Intro to NumPy talk (for multidimensional arrays like matrices). We don't seem to have experts in the group for the first two but we have a couple leads on outside speakers. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]>
