[boston-pig] Proposed talk: Repoze and Deliverance

[Nate Aune]

I would like to suggest a talk for the next meeting. And since the topic is
of interest to both Plone/Zope people and Python people, I suggest that we
make it a combined meeting.

Here is a description of repoze from Tres Seaver, the author of CMF, and
developer at Agendaless Consulting:

 Since early 2004, The Python web development community has been
 consolidating around a standard deployment model in the form of WSGI
 (Web Services Gateway Interface), a specification which describes how
 servers talk to Python web applications. A packaging standard referred
 to loosely as "eggs" has also become popular since that time.

 Repoze is an effort to bring Zope technologies to the larger Python web
 development community by breaking Zope up into pieces that fit into a
 WSGI deployment model and which can be installed using eggs as the
 basis for deployment. The obverse side of this effort is that it allows
 current Zope users to make use of WSGI technologies for development
 purposes, including the ability to run Zope 2 and Plone applications
 under WSGI servers, including 'mod_wsgi' inside Apache.

Noah Gift from O'ReillyNet has written a nice article about these
technologies

included in this article is link to a video from one of their previous
talks.

This is a great opportunity to hear about this very useful technology from
some of the brightest minds in the Zope/Plone community. Chris and Tres have
been touring around the country evangelizing this open source middleware,
and it would be great if they were able to come to Boston to tell us about
it.

If you would like to attend this talk, please show your interest by replying
to this email. We are targeting either next wednesday, Feb. 20 or 26th /
27th as potential dates to have the meeting. I have access to a conference
room at Betahouse in Central Square that can hold around 12 people
comfortably.

thanks,
Nate
