ZPUGsters & everyone else:

The next meeting of the Zope/Python Users Group of Washington, DC, is 
next Monday, at 7pm, at the usual location in downtown DC.

Our topics are:

  - Cyrus Karbassiyoon, on the intranet he just launched for Gentry 
Locke Rakes and Moore LLP. He'll be talking about why they chose Plone, 
how they built the site, and what they learned. This should be excellent 
if you're considering Plone for upcoming projects.

  - Paul Boos, of SAIC, will be talking about the general process of 
getting software certified for governmental use, and about general tips 
for bidding on or performing government work.


Upcoming schedule:
==================

We have meetings twice a month: the first Thursday (a Python-in-general 
meeting) and the third Monday (Zope/Plone/other 
Python-based-webapps-specific).

Our future meetings are:

- Th, 9/2 (Python meeting). Topics TBD.

- Mo, 9/20 (Zope/Plone meeting). Topics TBD.
