Melissa, Thank you for the warm email, yeah I most definitely keep the list/group posted when I head to Seattle. I would to meet up for a beer or food with some like minded technical folks next time I am in town. I have thought about a starting a group here but I thought it would be best to join a group first and see what kind of group I would like to foster. The most tech related stuff out here in walla walla is one company that used ruby and rails and another other is using mathlab and c on embedded systems for food processing equipment. Not much technology out here, wine onions and penitentiary. Out of the 3 local colleges only two have a CS department and both only really playgames and try to one up each other not exchange ideas at each of their group meetings...
The closest active ACM Chapter is a student one but it is up in spokane. Thanks again I look forward to chatting with all more in the future. -Jentzen ________________________________ From: Melissa Rice <[email protected]> To: jentzen mooney <[email protected]>; Seattle Python Interest Group <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 15, 2011 1:50 PM Subject: Re: [SEAPY] jentzen mooney, new to the group Re: [<span id="misspell-11" class="mark">SEAPY</span>] jentzen mooney, new to the group Jentzen, Welcome to the SeaPIG list. The list is pretty quiet sometimes but we're out here. Check out the SeaPIG website (http://seapig.org/), where some of us have personal pages posted (http://seapig.org/MembersPage). Our next meeting is about blender (http://seapig.org/November2011Meeting) though it's a pretty long drive for you, unfortunately, and on a Thursday night. Long ago, in a galaxy far away, I worked for a special effects company, but I was working on robot vision stuff, not special effects, and in Forth, not python (before python was born). If you are going to be in Seattle ever, please post to the list as there might be things going on or people who want to meet up. I'm about an hour north of Seattle so I don't make it into the city more than a few times a month but there are lots of people from this list in Seattle and there's lots of stuff going on in addition to SeaPIG. Or perhaps you could start a python meetup or programmers' group in Walla Walla? There must be some other python programmers lurking there....

Sadly to say I did not find any here in Walla Walla. :( Originally from Seattle growing up in Greenwood I always check in time and again to see what groups pop up. I aways enjoyed reading about your "Northwest Python Day" I spent the last 7 years in LosAngeles working on CG features, VFXs and Games. Python was always the language of choice from project to project. A lot of my work was in Technical Art tools an scripting and workflows and Pipeline / Asset Management using MVC frameworks(mostly django) Some QT here and there for standalone tools. I have not done any programming in about 7months and I have really missed my technical community. Here is more about me http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3406663/ http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,334028/ http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jentzen-mooney/1/42b/554 I wish I lived closer, to attend the meetings. I am very interested in sprints you might have in the future, especially if they are over the weekend. Have an awesome meeting this month. -Jentzen Mooney
