Frank Wierzbicki, lead committer for Jython (http://jython.org/), will demonstrate web systems integration testing with Selenium (http://seleniumhq.org/) and Sauce (http://saucelabs.com/). Selenium is a suite of tools specifically for testing web applications in the browser. Sauce IDE and Remote Client automate Selenium tests "in the cloud" across the ten most popular browsers, providing video of test results. Tests can be recorded from mouse movements and keyboard strokes, or scripted Pythonically. If you develop web applications, you do not want to miss this presentation. As always, lightning talks of ten minutes or less are also welcome. Anything you've learned about Python, no matter how trivial, can be a lightning talk.

We're hosting a Django development sprint at Carrboro Creative Coworking on March 20th and 21st, 2010. A sprint is a concerted, focused period of time in which developers meet in the same space to get things done on a project. This will be a general sprint focused on fixing bugs for the 1.2 release. It doesn't require any previous experience and, if you don't have prior experience contributing to Django, it is the perfect opportunity to start. We'll be there at 9am both days to open the doors. The sprint is being hosted by Caktus Consulting Group. If you need help finding the location or have other questions on the day of the sprint, just give us a call at 919-951-0052.

Let's get together not just to talk about Python but to use Python. Python Hack Night is where you can get hands-on learning and help on your small projects. If you have a project on which you need some help, then you should come. If you have time to spare and want to help, then you should come. If you just want to come work on a project with other Python hackers, then you should come. If you want to see what projects others are working on, then you should come. Suggestions for more venues to host Python Hack Nights are welcome. Read the article for more information.
