Agenda:
7:30 PM to 8:15 PM
Topic: Paper Cutter Control Software
Speaker:Drew Perttula
About the talk
I present a recent python project: control software for a modified paper cutter (the fancy-shapes kind, not the large-blade kind). I will get into the applications of python for driving the parallel port, parsing and rasterizing SVG, doing a preprocess on the curves to compensate for a hardware problem, etc. The python modules I used are Numeric, ScientificPython, twisted, louie, elementtree, and Tkinter.
8:15 PM to 8:45 PM
Topic: Twisted.Web2
Presenter: David Reid
About the talk
I'd present Twisted.Web2. In particular what it is capable of, where it is going, how it differs from Twisted.Web, what all this means for Nevow. Of course I'd try to include a thorough summary of Twisted for those unfamiliar with the project.
8:45 PM to 9:00 PM
