Chris McDonough and Tres Seaver Present Repoze at the 
Boston Plone February Meetup

Since early 2004, the Python web development community has been
consolidating around two technologies.

1. The Python Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI). This Python
   specification (PEP 333) describes how web servers can talk
   to Python web applications.
   http://wsgi.org/wsgi/What_is_WSGII/
   http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/

2. The Python Egg packaging standard.
   "Eggs are to Pythons as Jars are to Java..."
   http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs

Repoze <http://repoze.org/about.html> is an effort to bring Zope
technologies to the larger Python web development community by breaking
Zope into eggs that fit into a WSGI deployment model. This also allows
Zope users to use WSGI technologies --  for example the ability to run
Zope 2 and Plone applications under WSGI servers
<http://wsgi.org/wsgi/Servers> such as mod_wsgi
<http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/>.

This is a great opportunity to hear about this very useful technology
from some of the brightest minds in the Zope/Plone community. Chris
McDonough and Tres Seaver have been touring around the country
evangelizing this open source middleware. Now's your chance to see them
in Boston.

Please note that while the official location of the church is 1 Norway
Street, the meetup entrance is in the center of the long building next
to the reflecting pool in the Christian Science Church Park and is
closer to Huntington Ave. 

Directions: If coming by T, take the green line to the Symphony stop.
Hynes Convention Center is also very close, as is Mass Ave (Orange
line). Metered street parking on Mass Ave is available but usually
pretty tight. An underground parking garage is also available. It costs
$5. Let the parking attendant know that you are here for the Plone
Meetup hosted by Russ Danner. Call me (Sid) on my cell (781-254-3422) if
you have trouble.
