[Zope-Annce] Fredericksburg, VA ZPUG Meeting: November 9, 7:30-9:00 PM

[Gary Poster]

Please join us November 9, 7:30-9:00 PM, for the sixth meeting of the  
Fredericksburg, VA Zope and Python User Group ("ZPUG"). Squid and  
Zope! Using Zope for newspaper publishing! The dangers of object  
oriented inheritance! Free food!

     * Andrew Sawyers will discuss using the open source cache server  
Squid with Zope, including a discussion of the O'Reilly book about  
Squid.

     * Allen Schmidt, Sr. Programmer for Fredericksburg.com - the  
website for the Free Lance-Star - will present on "Using Zope for  
Newspaper Publishing".

     * Jim Fulton, CTO of Zope Corporation, will present an  
abbreviated version of the argument given in Clemens Szyperski's  
Component Software for why both inheritance and delegation (e.g.  
acquisition) cause tight coupling and therefore should be avoided  
except in special circumstances.

     * We will serve delicious fruit, cheese, and soft drinks.

We've had a nice group for all the meetings. Please come and bring  
friends!

We also are now members of the O'Reilly and Apress user group  
programs, which gives us nice book discounts (prices better than  
Amazon's, for instance) and the possibility of free review copies.  
Ask me about details at the meeting if you are interested.
