Florent Aide has just released TurboGears 1.0.3. Congrats to Florent on a release with a whole bunch of good things! (See the changelog).
Florent and Mark Ramm have been pushing things forward at a great clip for TurboGears 1 and 2. Stay tuned (or even better, get involved!) for the coming 1.1 and 2.0a releases.
The August MichiPUG meeting will be held at the Google Ann Arbor office. We’re having a joint meeting with the Ann Arbor Computer Society: Google Ann Arbor Tech Talk Event.
The meeting is at the normal MichiPUG time (presentation starts at 7PM on Thursday, August 2nd). However, there’s going to be food, drinks and chatting with area tech folks and Google folks starting at 6PM. We’re looking forward to an excellent gathering. Space is limited so be sure to RSVP.
One of my most enduringly popular blog entries is the one in which I call out for a Mac version of Camtasia, TechSmith’s exceedingly cool screencasting tool. If you search Google for “camtasia mac”, that posting is the top link. Troy Stein, Camtasia’s product manager, has been active in the conversation in the comments on that entry, and today clued me in to Jing Project: Visual conversation starts here. Mac or Windows.
Jing is an integrated screen capture and sharing tool and marks the first major foray in the Mac software for TechSmith that I’m aware of (they do have a Mac version of their codec, but that’s not the same as an actual app!). You’re limited to making 5 minute Flash movies (likely using TechSmith’s awesome lossless codec), but Jing is free and many screencasts are 5 minutes or less anyhow.
Of course, I still want to see Camtasia for the Mac, because of its great editing tools. But, it’s great to see TechSmith heading into the Mac market!
