We'll be meeting at Splatspace, a non-profit member-supported workshop and hacker meeting place. Splatspace is located in the basement of the Snow Building at 331 W. Main St. in Durham. Parking (free exit after 7pm) is in the back of the building in the lot off Ramseur St. on the downtown Durham loop (one way, approach Ramseur from W. Main St. or W. Chapel Hill St..

A development sprint is an excuse to get together, write some code, and have a good time doing it. The purpose of this sprint will be to help finish features and push out bug fixes in preparation for the Django 1.4 release. If you're interested in coming to work on other open source Django-based projects, that's welcome too. It doesn't require any previous experience and, if you don't have prior experience contributing to Django, it is the perfect opportunity to start. We'll be there at 9am both days to open the doors. It's a tradition to go out for drinks after the sprinting winds down, perhaps around 4 or 5, but this may be earlier or later depending on the general momentum of the sprint. The sprint is being hosted by Caktus Consulting Group.

Joseph Tate built a front end to a rules system in a data processing system. To do so he designed a Domain Specific Language (DSL) to simplify creating triggering code by non-sophisticated users. Joseph will show you how he did that; what the PLY programming system looks like, and compare PLY to some of the other common Python DSL tools like Yapps and SimpleParse. As always, spontaneous lightning talks of ten minutes or less on other topics are also welcome. Anything you've learned about Python, no matter how trivial, can be a lightning talk. Note: this meeting starts at 6pm as the doors to the building automatically lock at 7pm.

Josh Johnson will present the blitZEN method, a SCRUM-variant toolbox of project management approaches that makes you love being a developer again. The blitZEN method is not philosophy or methodology so much as it's a way to get stuff done, done well, and with minimal developer stress. In addition, Josh will also present blitzen.management, a Plone product that assists in the collection of requirements and planning process. As usual, bring your own lightning talk about any observation you've made about any Python topic. There's plenty of free parking at CCC and the after-meeting will continue around the corner at Milltown.
