Joomla User Group- Welcome Chennai, Fabulous Start-Up Meet

Today 3rd December, 2009, I prepared Slides for my JUG presentation @ 3:00 PM and headed straight to Mary Brown @ Anna Nagar. It was 4:30 PM when Gokoul and JayaPrakash from P.M.R.I.T , Bro Rajesh, Swamy from Jaya Engineering College and his friend accompanied me at the venue for the meet. We were 6 , started with  FOSS talk , CMS , then I presented my ideas on JUG and its purpose and activities to be conducted. Everyone shared their ideas which helped us to better plan JUG Activities.

 It was a wonderful day, where the meet had everything from Joomla to Nuggets and Burgers. Soon a new web-portal for Joomla User Group, chennai will be hosted (http://jug-chennai.co.cc will be our temporary webspace) We shared many issues on Joomla and our user group activities @ the meet. I hope JUG always stays active and contribute for Joomla in all possible ways it can, becoz Open Source Matters...

ChennaiPy Session - I @ AUKBC-MIT

This is really a good start for chennaipy as it conducted its 1st session @ AUKBC- MIT Campus. This time, I reached the campus early and had my seat prior to the session start-up. 14 Members were in the session as it went and the session was filled with novice python group. Ms.Rajeshwari took the web-scrapping session and Mr.Jaganadh took Bio-Medical Text processing with python.

To my surprise, the talks were over very soon and I was given a chance to share my experience in python programming. I was not prepared to face the audience, but still,  I managed to brief out my D-Bus Project and we had good discussions from all the attendees.

I am happy that from now ChennaiPy will regularly conduct session and I shall be a part in bringing out the sessions @ MIT which complements to better understanding of the language.

This was a draft posted by Mr.Jaganadh, Professor @ MIT on the session:

"This months chennaipy meet started at 3.10 p.m 28-11-09 at AU-KBC Research Centre MIT Campus of Anna University Chennai. Total 14 people attended the meeting. The first talk was given by Rajeswari S on WebScraping with Python, Santhosh give a talk on D-Bus programming with Python and Bio-medical text processing with python by Jaganadh G. There was discussion on IDE for Python, python web programming etc... The meeting ended by 04.50 p.m"

I thank Mr.Jaganadh, Mr.Surendar, MIT and NRCFOSS without them this session would have not been successful platform for us learn. I wish we must continue these session in future and bring out the best Python programmers in Chennai Region.
