Thanks for everyone who came to the ZPUGDC meeting tonight.

I've posted my slides and sample materials online from the presentation 
on Archetypes. You can find the slides (as an HTML file) at 
http://zpugdc.org/Members/joel/intro_archetypes.
A gzipped tarball of 
the core site product I was demonstrating is at 
http://zpugdc.org/Members/joel/Go2.tar.gz.

Several people had spoken up at the first meeting that they would be 
interested in learning-by-doing. I can propose one idea for this: our 
web site needs a good content type for meetings. This is similar to the 
standard Plone Events item, but should include additional info like: bio 
on speaker, handouts/slides from presentation, title of the main and 
mini presentation, etc. This type can be used on our site to manage this 
information and would be a good chance for a small group to write an 
Archetype together, test it, etc. If you're interested, speak up, and 
perhaps those interested can start the ball rolling.

Our next meeting is a non-Zope-specific Python meeting. James Rosey has 
offered to do a mini-presentation/demonstration of a 
debugger/introspector he's writing. We don't yet have a main 
presentation, though. If you're interested in presenting, or know 
someone we should ask, please let us know!

Also, I have a publisher's copy of the new Plone book, and O'Reilly will 
be sending us the occasional new book, too--what's a fair way to 
distribute these? Do we want to give them out as door prizes? Thank you 
to speakers? Keep them as a lending library?

Thanks, and look forward to seeing everyone again soon,

- j.
