By: Philip Doctor
Date: Nov. 14, 2013, 7:44 p.m.

Open Source Hardware is going to change the world.
But the hardware is still going to need software to control it.
Can Python take the lead and become the de facto language of open source hardware control?
Paul Ebreo talks about the three keys to Python's success in open hardware.

What's Love Got to do with It? / Love: for techies

What you think Love is - is (probably) wrong.
The correct metaphor / definition for live will make much more sense to the software person. In fact, it will help with team building and design too. Yup.
Grab a beer. I'll tell you a story about how this evolved (turing machine example), how and where evolution selected it, and why it works - and how it works for approaching problems (design) too.
Then I'll lay out the "api" (functional description).
Don't take it too seriously.
You couldn't have known.
Now you will.
Cheers!
Set it, and forget it! Auto Scale on Rackspace
By: Brian Curtin
Date: Sept. 12, 2013, 7:30 p.m.
Rackspace is rolling out a new service to allow your cloud to scale on its own, called Auto Scale. Built on Monitoring, Auto Scale allows you to grow or shrink your fleet of resources as demand changes.
pyrax, a Python package for working with OpenStack-based clouds like Rackspace's, just released Auto Scale and Monitoring support with version 1.5.0.
I'll show how you can use pyrax to deploy servers and automatically add or remove them based on their usage.
