ZPUGsters:

Our meeting last week went very well -- we had JP Calderone presenting 
on Twisted, and providing examples of how very complex things can be 
done much more easily with this framework. If you haven't had a 
chance to test out Twisted, take some time and do so! It's quite 
neat.

We were also lucky enough to have Python/Zope rock star Jim Fulton at 
our meeting. He talked about the upcoming Zope 2.8 release, Zope 3 
status, and about some nifty changes in the docstring testing 
utilities. This was very interesting, and the questions suggest that 
a testing presentation would be very welcomed at ZPUG. Anyone 
interested in delivering that?

Our next meeting is next Monday, 11/15. I'll be delivering a 
presentation on "Debugging Zope and Plone", covering pdb (the 
built-in Python debugger), WingIDE, and Boa-Constructor.

Also, Paul Boos will be doing a mini-presentation on getting 
applications certified for the defense department. For those of us 
who do (or want to do!) government contracting, this should be very 
helpful.

Look forward to seeing everyone next Monday --

Best,

- j.
