 Chris McDonough and Tres Seaver Present Repoze at the 
Boston Plone February Meetup 

 When: Thu, Feb 28th, 7-9pm

Since early 2004, the Python web development community has been 
consolidating around two technologies. 

1. The Python Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI). This Python 
   specification (PEP 333) describes how web servers can talk 
   to Python web applications. 
   http://wsgi.org/wsgi/What_is_WSGII/
   http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/

2. The Python Egg packaging standard. 
   "Eggs are to Pythons as Jars are to Java..." 
   http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs

Repoze <http://repoze.org/about.html> is an effort to bring Zope 
technologies to the larger Python web development community by breaking 
Zope into eggs that fit into a WSGI deployment model. This also allows 
Zope users to use WSGI technologies --  for example the ability to run 
Zope 2 and Plone applications under WSGI servers 
<http://wsgi.org/wsgi/Servers> such as mod_wsgi 
<http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/>. 

This is a great opportunity to hear about this very useful technology 
from some of the brightest minds in the Zope/Plone community. Chris 
McDonough and Tres Seaver have been touring around the country 
evangelizing this open source middleware. Now's your chance to see them 
in Boston.

Please note that while the official location of the church is 1 Norway 
Street, the meetup entrance is in the center of the long building next 
to the reflecting pool in the Christian Science Church Park and is 
closer to Huntington Ave. 

Directions: If coming by T, take the green line to the Symphony stop. 
Hynes Convention Center is also very close, as is Mass Ave (Orange 
line). Metered street parking on Mass Ave is available but usually 
pretty tight. An underground parking garage is also available. It costs 
$5. Let the parking attendant know that you are here for the Plone 
Meetup hosted by Russ Danner. Call me (Sid) on my cell (781-254-3422) if 
you have trouble.
