[lug] (Virtual) BLUG is ON! Thursday April 9th, 2020 @ 6:30PM (MDT!)

[Dan Mackin]

Hey y'all!! Thanks for your patience as I worked up a plan! We've got a
fantastic speaker lined up for our online MeetUp tonight! ...although maybe
I should say "tomorrow afternoon" as our speaker will be casting all the
way from New Zealand!!

I know we've got folks on this mailing list in all sorts of different time
zones, so for further clarity, official BLUG start day and time is:
2020-04-10T00:30Z

DETAILS
- I will send out a Zoom link to this mailing list (and to the folks that
have RSVP'd "Yes" on our MeetUp page) at 2020-04-10T00:00Z. The meeting
link won't be active until 2020-04:10T00:30Z. I'll have the waiting room
feature enabled so you'll need to be admitted into the Zoom. Please be
patient as I let y'all in and make sure you use whatever name you'd put on
your name tag if we were meeting in person as it'll help me facilitate
questions, discussion, etc.
- We'll mingle, chat and fiddle with A/V while waiting for folks to join
the meeting and I'll get started right at 2020-04-10T01:00Z.
- You'll all enter the room on mute by default. You should be able to
unmute yourself at your leisure but remember: Mute's your friend when it
comes to good group video chat etiquette.
- I'll get us started, we'll do group intros, and then I'll introduce our
speaker for our feature presentation: A live presentation on how Python and
PostgreSQL interact using psycopg2, the most used Postgres database driver
for Python! We will touch basic topics like, basic Python objects,
interaction with a database session, data adaptation, and security by
avoiding things like SQL injection attacks.
- Our presenter, Daniele Varrazzo, has offered to provide the slides ahead
of the meeting, just in case we have technical difficulties! I'll send a
link to those when I send out the Zoom link.

Yes, we will have a give away "raffle" at the end. No, I'm not able to
GrubHub everyone food and beer. Logistical nightmare! I know not everyone
likes Zoom. Sorry. In the event Zoom becomes unusable across the board,
I'll send out a backup Hangouts link to this list (and to the folks that
have RSVP'd "Yes" on our MeetUp page). Oh, and if anyone's lost on the
timezone thing... we're starting at our normal day/time. Our MeetUp site
should list this accurately as well:

See y'all soon!!
