Re: looking for Plone developer

Matt,

Thanks. I think the best way to help out is if I copy this to our local 
user group. NetCorps has been active in our group in the past through 
Cheryl Jerozal. And, as a member of the NC Coastal Federation, I want to 
say how much I appreciate what NetCorps has done for us.

Are you coming to Plone Conference? That might be a good fishing grounds 
for new help. There have been a number of very young people who have 
come into the Plone community lately, some of whom I know will be 
coming. Their salary requirements might be less. :)

TriZPUGers,

See below. Aaron VanDerlip and Jon Baldivieso both got their 
professional Plone careers started with NetCorps. NetCorps good work for 
the work of the good.

Visualization-oriented developer position a Duke

Hey there Trizpug'ers

Our lab (http://mgel.env.duke.edu) has been noticeably absent at
Trizpug events lately 'cause we got so much we're working on. Maybe
one of you want to join in? We are looking to hire a
analyst/programmer for geospatial development. The ideal person would
have a mix of GIS and web skills. Most of the tools we develop are web
oriented, on a Python->Postgres->Apache->Linux stack, Plone being the
main front end for our sites.There's possibly a training and travel
component to the job as well.

Here's the details:

Please feel free to pass this along.

{science, python} newb seeks {calculation, formatting} advice


Basically I'm looking for help with my homework  which involves
outputting formatted scientific equations and their solutions. I'm
wondering how to more productively use python to create documents with
equations (including units), and their solutions. What I mean:

I'm starting grad school, and they're expecting me to hand in stuff
(basically chemistry and physics problems) in PDF. I didn't hafta do
that as an undergrad (which wasn't *that* long ago), so I'm whacking
together a solution. Being too busy/lazy for TeX at the moment, I'm
using OpenOffice:

+ it ain't M$ Office

+ OO Writer generates PDFs easily/cleanly OOTB

+ OO Math's equation editor is easy, and it integrates pretty well
  with Writer

- no integrated solver that I can see. (If you know how to make OO do
  this, please lemme know. I'm lazy enough that I want the word
  processor to solve my equations for me, and, though I did search a
  bit, possibly too lazy to find out how to make that happen.)

So my workflow now is like

0 setup an equation in OO (including any required unit conversions
  <yuck/>)

1 bail to python for the calculations. That I can basically cut/paste

OK, I got my networking working, and it still doesn't work. There's a 
couple of bugs I need to hammer out. I'll send along the promised howto

Python Jobs

Our friend Calvin from Camp5 has some Python and sysadmin job openings:

http://www.sixfeetup.com/about-us/jobs

I visited Six Feet Up and it is a quite pleasant shop to work in. Small 
town Indiana but ten minute drive into Indianapolis. Best of all worlds.

Six Feet Up is a cutting edge Plone shop. They really have great 
methodology for doing Plone work.

August TriZPUG Meeting

Hello everyone. Our next meeting on the 28th is fast approaching -- anyone up for a night of lightning talks? I'd be happy to give one on PolicyTestCase.
