VanPyZ futures talks

• Jamu Kakar: Storm

  • Henry: I'd like to know more about the internals of ORMs. How do they build their queries? How do they determine which join is needed? How do they maintain consistency among objects?
  • Jamu: I think a talk about how to use Storm with a focus on some common patterns to common problems would be more widely interesting, but I can also talk about internals. I haven't actually prepared a talk yet, but I'd expect it to be in the 30-45 minute range (I'm not a fan of very long talks). I can prepare the talk for Dec or Jan.
• Henry Precheur:

  • WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface): WSGI powers all modern Python web frameworks. It provides a unified way to talk HTTP. (Talk can be 30 mins to 1h30 long.)

  • SQLAchemy: The SQLAlchemy SQL Toolkit and Object Relational Mapper is a comprehensive set of tools for working with databases and Python.

• Dethe Elza ReportLab

• Doug Latornell:

  • I can do a session (probably about 30 minutes) on an image display desktop app I wrote. I would talk about PyYAML, the Python API for Flickr, and maybe a bit about TkInter, using the app as a concrete example. I could do this pretty much any time with a week or 2 notice.

  • I've been looking at CouchDB for a potential project at work. I haven't delved too deeply yet, but if the project gets the go-ahead, I should be able to talk about CouchDB in, say, January, or February. This one would likely be about 30 minutes too, but it depends how much I know when I do it, and how many questions people have.
