Hi!

I'm going to be attending a conference on February 9th about farming
education in Massachusetts schools.  I'm reserving a table in order to meet
concerned teachers.  Hopefully this will lead to some of them offering
workshops and even class units where their students submit the results of
their research about product information on ThoughtAndMemory.org.

Please feel free to register and join me if you'd like to get involved!

Message-ID: <c5200d5e0802071123t2ac30890hf01db9bd24a31a56@mail.gmail.com>

I work with Luke Sullivan ('the voice' in the TAM video) at Brandeis
and we was telling me about thoughtandmemory today.  I've been looking
over the site in general as well as the code base and would like to
help where/if I can.  I think the idea is brilliant and is definitely
a service I would use, furthermore I'd like to give back what I can to
causes I believe in.

I have used django in the past but mainly use turbogears now.  Still
I'm not adverse to picking up django again.  I also do a lot of
middleware/backend coding such as the sms mailer
(http://tearsoffire.org/dailybuddha).  Let me know if I can help.

yo,

executive summary::::::::::::::::
kick-off dev flock meeting SUNDAY, March 2nd, 5PM.
figure out communication process, meet the team, ramp up on the
framework, QA,  DINNER at 7.

highlights :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
17 Bishop Allen Dr.
Cambridge, MA 02139
middle two green doors

development wiki: http://thoughtandmemory.org/trac

please email dev-flock at mit.edu, which I will add you all to if you are
not already on it, or someone on the team if you have questions or
requests or updates.

if you encounter any impediments to getting work done, especially at
the beginning when it comes to setting up your environment or ramping
up on django,etc, don't hesitate to shoot me an email
(lucy at thoughtandmemory.org)

msg content:::::::::::::::::::::::

I can't tell you all how excited I am by recent developer additions.
 * Dan has been pumping away at the backend like whoa--he'll commit any day now!
 * and we hope to bring Chris Pepe on board to do backend work, too.
Here, backend could mean database scheming, python coding and
eventually  SMS phone stuff.
 * Shaunalynn and Chia are ramping up on front-end django template,
HTML, CSS, javascript and flash stuff.
 * Eggar, I know we haven't contacted you in a while, but did awesome
work, and I hope you feel comfortable jumping back into the sway as we
move forward.
 * If you're on dev-flock and haven't committed anything yet give a
holla (ping) so we know you're alive.

To get things rolling I'd like to have a kick-off meeting for new
developers to meet the team and figure out the appropriate
communication process, both within the backend and frontend subgroups,
and especially across groups on the python dict <--> template
interface. Some of us are jumping into this particular framework for
the first time, which I expect will quickly become old news, but all
the more reason to get rolling in person.

There will be coop (we're meeting at the co-operative (coop) where
Clay and I live) or take-out dinner afterwards.

Let me know if you can or cannot make the meeting. We don't meet
often, so I encourage you to come if you can.

Bring your laptop if you have one and are having trouble getting setup
with the system. If you want, I'm happy to meet with people before the
meeting, say 4pm, to help with django/python/mysql/sqlite3/etc setup.

word,
Lucy.

Dan,

Django text search.
  http://net-x.org/weblog/2008/feb/18/django-full-text-indexing-djapian/

I'm not sure this is comparable to gains from Solr, but if this is an
easier-to-integrate option it might be worthwhile. Your call.

Lucy.

I stumbled across this site today: http://www.foodsel.com

I'm sure there are more like it as well as some free/open UPC
databases.  I don't know the code base nor the project that well yet
but if the food lookup piece hasn't been addressed already I would
suggest that we leverage others content in a mutually beneficial way.

Definitely.  Bringing existing data structures (like lexis nexis) together
is one of the many really useful things that we would like to get done.  If
that's where your current passion is then I would encourage you to begin
thinking (and asking) about how to import them into our system

Dan could also use big help on other back end projects.  So I'm sure there
will be a lot to talk about if you can make the upcoming meeting.

yo,

Since Chia is going to Mexico for two weeks, we decided to go ahead
and meet this Sunday to get rolling on setting up her environment and
coordinating the backend and frontend.

Sunday, 2pm, badcoop (17 Bishop Allen Dr, 02139)

Dan will almost certainly be there. Shaunalynn will likely not.
Everyone else is invited.

If you can't make this meeting, we'll still be meet the following
Sunday at 5pm at badcoop.

Let me know if you have questions.

Word!
Lucy.
