Proposed talk: Repoze and Deliverance
	2008-02-12 20:33:32
I would like to suggest a talk for the next meeting. And since the topic is of interest to both Plone/Zope people and Python people, I suggest that we make it a combined meeting. Here is a description of repoze from Tres Seaver, the author of CMF, and developer at Agendaless Consulting:  Since early 2004, The Python web development community has been  consolidating around a standard deployment model in the form of WSGI  ;(Web Services Gateway Interface), a specification which describes how  servers talk to Python web applications. A packaging standard referred  to loosely as "eggs" has also become popular since that time.  Repoze is an effort to bring Zope technologies to the larger Python web  development community by breaking Zope up into pieces that fit into a  WSGI deployment model and which can be installed using eggs as the  basis for deployment. The obverse side of this effort is that it allows  current Zope users to make use of WSGI technologies for development  purposes, including the ability to run Zope 2 and Plone applications  under WSGI servers, including 'mod_wsgi' inside Apache. Noah Gift from O'ReillyNet has written a nice article about these technologies  http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/12/wsgi_python_web_developments_h_1.html included in this article is link to a video from one of their previous talks. This is a great opportunity to hear about this very useful technology from some of the brightest minds in the Zope/Plone community. Chris and Tres have been touring around the country evangelizing this open source middleware, and it would be great if they were able to come to Boston to tell us about it. If you would like to attend this talk, please show your interest by replying to this email. We are targeting either next wednesday, Feb. 20 or 26th / 27th as potential dates to have the meeting. I have access to a conference room at Betahouse in Central Square that can hold around 12 people comfortably. thanks, Nate -- Nate Aune - nateajazkarta.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">nateajazkarta.com company: http://jazkarta.com blog: http://nateaune.com twitter: http://twitter.com/natea
