[boston-pig] May 23rd Python Meetup

[Douglas Napoleone]

Hello All,
    For those who do not know me, my name is Doug Napoleone and I am one of
the volunteer organizers of the Boston Python Interest Group. Peter Marquez
recently created the Cambridge Python Meetup group on meetup.com (
http://python.meetup.com/181/) and we consider the two groups to be one and
the same (sorry for any confusion). Peter has lined up a guest speaker,
George Lambert of Goldenware Travel, to speak at the May meeting. Here are
the details (please note the day of week change):

When: Wednesday, May 23, 2007, 7:00 PMWhere: Brickbottom Building
1 Fitchburg St, Somerville MA Suite 151 Building B
Somerville , MA 02143
617 620 3071

   - Info/Map <http://python.meetup.com/181/venue/?venueId=263082>
   - This venue has been marked "private" by the Organizer.

Description:

Why did you choose Python?

Developers and their companies are using Python to do all kinds of tasks.
>From utilities to ERP systems. Why are they choosing Python over Java, C++
and other proven enterprise 3 and 4gls?

At this meeting we'll all get a chance to meet each other, learn why we've
made this choice and what we've learned in the process.

To kick off the meeting, I have asked George Lambert of Goldenware Travel to
explain why his company has switched to Python and the benefits and
challenges they are seeing.

I have updated the boston-pig wiki to represent the change (
http://wiki.python.org/moin/BostonPig).

Also we will be saying good by to Chris Curvey who is moving out of the Bay
State. Please come and thank him for organizing and maintaining the group
for many years.

    -Doug
