I'm not the leader, but if I were I'd say, "Announcing the&lt;br&gt;Official OPUG OSS Programming Project (OOOPP)." By ostentatiously&lt;br&gt;announcing the project as official others in the group will have&lt;br&gt;little choice but to accept it and participate, assuming the Self&lt;br&gt;Appointed Planner (SAP) has enough influence and actually chooses&lt;br&gt;something that a couple others will enjoy doing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Food for thought: A project that will attract people to Python and to&lt;br&gt;the user group might have some merit. That would imply something shiny&lt;br&gt;and cool that people would want to use. For example, an entry in the&lt;br&gt;pyweek game programming class, or something that allows people to do&lt;br&gt;clever things with facebook, or download all of the latest episodes of&lt;br&gt;Heroes or something that automatically deposits $42 into your bank&lt;br&gt;account whenever you run it, or something that has local appeal like a&lt;br&gt;cross platform weather forecast applet without spyware.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just my $0.02 worth...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-- &lt;br&gt;Matthew Nuzum&lt;br&gt;newz2000 on freenode&lt;br&gt;_______________________________________________&lt;br&gt;Omaha Python Users Group mailing list&lt;br&gt;Omaha@python.org&lt;br&gt;http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/omaha&lt;br&gt;http://www.OmahaPython.org&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><guid>http://mail.python.org/pipermail/omaha#11bb3bbd29fba4ae:9</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:45:57 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: [omaha] Meeting Notes</title><link>http://mail.python.org/pipermail/omaha</link><description>5 people is a great place to start.  Perhapse more will want to join as we&lt;br&gt;keep going.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Personally, I would like a project that is powerful, has a wide scientific &amp;&lt;br&gt;corporate appeal, and where implementing it in python could have significant&lt;br&gt;advantages in simplifying it's implementation, use, and maintenance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don't know if it's been done before, but on the top of that list could be&lt;br&gt;an enterprise map-reduce architecture implemented soley in python;&lt;br&gt;similar in function to google's implementation or hadoop's.  We could call&lt;br&gt;it hapy or pydoop :).  The current implementations out there are powerful&lt;br&gt;and popular, but require a singificant amount of research, testing, and&lt;br&gt;issue solving within multiple technologies for the unininitiated; (ssh,&lt;br&gt;java, bash, linux, various settings files, etc) -- as well as a&lt;br&gt;multi-layered architecture to sift through when something goes wrong.  It&lt;br&gt;would be great to unify all of this in one solution that is easy to&lt;br&gt;implement, use, and improve.  It could have huge potential to be extremely&lt;br&gt;popular and useful.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We'll, I'm just one voice, and others have expressed an interest in certain&lt;br&gt;projects (ChemChains, pygame, home automation).  Given that there is interst&lt;br&gt;in an opensource project, we should probably move on to an open request for&lt;br&gt;specific projects and goals, and let the group discuss and decide.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-CK&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On Sun, Aug 10, 2008 at 10:18 PM, Jeff Hinrichs - DM&amp;T&lt;br&gt;&lt;jeffh@dundeemt.com&gt;wrote:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;_______________________________________________&lt;br&gt;Omaha Python Users Group mailing list&lt;br&gt;Omaha@python.org&lt;br&gt;http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/omaha&lt;br&gt;http://www.OmahaPython.org&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><guid>http://mail.python.org/pipermail/omaha#11bb2d0ca168d1c7:8</guid><pubDate>Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:28:22 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: [omaha] Meeting Notes</title><link>http://mail.python.org/pipermail/omaha</link><description>On Fri, Aug 8, 2008 at 11:35 AM, Jay Hannah &lt;jay@jays.net&gt; wrote:&lt;br&gt;I too, would be interested in exploring this topic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;-jeff&lt;br&gt;_______________________________________________&lt;br&gt;Omaha Python Users Group mailing list&lt;br&gt;Omaha@python.org&lt;br&gt;http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/omaha&lt;br&gt;http://www.OmahaPython.org&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><guid>http://mail.python.org/pipermail/omaha#11bafc5f2215eafc:7</guid><pubDate>Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:18:04 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: [omaha] Meeting Notes</title><link>http://mail.python.org/pipermail/omaha</link><description>Charles Kaminski wrote:&lt;br&gt; &gt; So if you're interest in participating, we want to hear from you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Project I'd be interested in:&lt;br&gt;- Anything pygame&lt;br&gt;- Implementing ChemChains in Python&lt;br&gt;  http://jays.net/wiki/ChemChains_sandbox&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;j&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;_______________________________________________&lt;br&gt;Omaha Python Users Group mailing list&lt;br&gt;Omaha@python.org&lt;br&gt;http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/omaha&lt;br&gt;http://www.OmahaPython.org&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><guid>http://mail.python.org/pipermail/omaha#11ba33021127b833:6</guid><pubDate>Fri, 08 Aug 2008 11:35:12 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: [omaha] Meeting Notes</title><link>http://mail.python.org/pipermail/omaha</link><description>Charles Kaminski wrote:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm a Python newb and interested in hands-on learning.
