| '''15 minute tutorial''' * Authorization and authentication with foauth2 and duct tape - Javier Candeira Pizza for this meeting will be provided, sponsored by [[http://www.ekit.com/|ekit]]. === Potential Topics === If you're not sure on a topic, or don't want to give a presentation, perhaps you could give us an idea of topics or areas that you would like to hear about - that way we can encourage people who have that particular area of expertise, but who might be wavering. Some topics that have been suggested are: * Django * PIL * pygame * pyopengl * zope * pypi * distutils * wxPython * Twisted * web/CGI * Databases * Unit Testing * Patterns * web2py If you feel qualified to give a talk/presentation on any of these, let me know and I'll schedule you in for a timeslot. Or just edit the wiki directly - that's what it's all about, after all :) === Previous Topics === |

| "Platform as a Service" or PaaS is a popular buzz-word in Cloud Computing. But what does it mean, and how can you use it?

"Platform as a Service" or PaaS is a popular buzz-word in Cloud Computing. But what does it mean, and how can you use it? OpenShift by Red Hat is a free-as-in-beer and soon to be free-as-in-speech PaaS platform that supports several open-source application server environments, including JavaEE6, Python, Ruby, PHP, and Perl. This demo will show you how to sign up for OpenShift, install and use the command-line tools to create an application, and how to use git to download, modify, and upload your own WSGI and Python applications.
