Main Topic: Python and Turbo-Gears
TurboGears is a rapid web development megaframework toolkit for complete front-to-back web development.
We have 2 presenters:
First, Mark Ramm will do a brief (15-20 min) introduction to Python programming. His intro will cover the why python question, as well as the basic syntax of Python (so we’ll have a running start!). [[http://compoundthinking.com/blog][Mark’s Blog]].
Then, Kevin Dangoor, the creator of the Turbo-Gears framework will educate us with a brief tutorial on Turbo-Gears. I think his plan is to walk through the creation of a real-live wiki with auto-cammel-case linking, and some AJAX goodness. [[http://www.blueskyonmars.com/][Kevin’s Blog]].

—+++ Secondary Topic: An open discussion about security
We will have an open discussion, and create a wiki on the mug web site, about security. Possible wiki topics, I don’t know, intrusion prevention and detection system tools, rootkit scanner(s), vulnerability scanner, virus scanners, good, better, bestest passwords.
