Another month passed by, another update. mr.bob got another bugfix release 0.1a7 which will short be superseded by another release with template dependencies feature. This is probably going to result into first beta release, since I consider commmand-line interface complete feature-wise. Python API will be refactored when I eventually start to use it. bobtemplates.ielectric is my personal collection of mr.bob templates and currently includes templates for a modern Python package and a very opinionated pyramid skeleton. There were some rather small bugfixes made. zc.buildout is nearing 2.0 release and during Beer And Wine Sprint in Munich, I tried to write outline for the new documentation. It's not finished yet, but I plan to work on that sooner or later. I certainly can't blame the lack of Club Mate for not finishing the outline. During Beer and Wine Sprint I was with the Patternslib team, which is doing a great job at developing a library that with the help of HTML5 data API loads and configures JavaScript plugins that provide certain dynamic behaviour to the webpage, such as dropdown menu. I was working on bundling with grunt, but we later decided to ditch it and go with Makefile and jamjs. pyramid_jinja2 1.6 release. Adds support for jinja2.globals, jinja2.newstyle and a more sane default for jinja2.i18n.domain. Last month I forgot about nose-selecttests 0.3 release, a nose plugin to white-list on command line what tests to run from testsuit when using nose test runner. During my last year of Telecommunication masters courses at University of Ljubljana, I worked on a project to evaluate Network Intrusion Detection System Snort. Unfortunately it's in Slovenian, but nevertheless, you can read latex source or pdf here. Got first client that did not pay for my work \o/ I learned a lot from the occasion, so I'm positive about the time spent. After days of thinking and a forward notice to the client, I open sourced the code to github collective.nutrition. I'm currently writing this blog post on a plane to FOSDEM 2013, can't wait to see again developers from Python community and meet some new people! If you have an interesting problem to solve under a public license, I'm happy to hear from you at domen@dev.si :-)

Another month passed by, another update. I'll try to keep this on monthly basis: mr.bob does your project skeleton templates. Today I released 0.1a6 which introduces hooks. It allows you to hook into various places of the rendering flow. Before/after a question is asked and before/after rendering of directory structure. It's also a cleanup release before last missing piece is implemented - dependance between templates. I also updated my bobtemplates.ielectric templates to be used with newest mr.bob 0.1a6 release. There are already few packages using it, for example bobtemplates.niteoweb and bobtemplates.kotti.

November has been a busy month. Some things I have been involved with (mostly during weekends and evenings): released mr.bob (project skeleton renderer replacing Paste and templer) 0.1a2 and 0.1a3. I'd love more people to try it out. No Python knowledge is needed to write a template. Example: https://github.com/disko/bobtemplates.kotti minor eestec.portal improvements for next generation Plone portal for http://eestec.net wrote kiberpipa.bookshelf (pyramid web application displaying ebook metadata from solr backend) lot's of thinking and talking how to crowdfund our local hackerspace Kiberpipa, since it's lack of money is stopping some really promising projects wrote augeas (config parser translating it to a tree that allows modifications and saving the file in correct format) for bacula (open source backup tool) as part of Almir improvements (web administration for bacula written in pyramid) released webtest 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3 (basically just made a release that now supports deform functional testing, and migrated repository from Bitbucket to GitHub) python3 support for buildout recipe hexagonit.recipe.download (needed to properly use zc.buildout on python3 for webtest) released pyramid_jinja2 1.5 backport/deprecate deform.Set in favor of new colander.Set planning second Ljubljana Python User Group meetup Two more blogs posts are planned on topic of mr.bob and zc.buildout. Stay tuned :-)

Products.TinyMCE 1.3 is not ready to be released, but we are advancing: PLIP was submitted by Tom Gross (kudos!) to include Products.TinyMCE 1.3 into Plone 4.3 release. Upcoming Friday (18th of May), Plone tuneup will be focused on fixing TinyMCE bugs and cleaning up the bug tracker. I will attend tuneup and will focus on answering questions regarding Products.TinyMCE. Join #plone-tuneup on irc.freenode.net to participate! Second week of July 2012, another awesome Plone sprint will happen. This year we are traveling to Belgium to do some proper beer driven development. My focus will be Products.TinyMCE and GSOC2012 Pylons Organization work on Substance D. Cheers, Domen

After unsuccessful try on reddit.com, someone pointed me to a Python script that almost did what I wanted. Changed it a bit (works only with NetworkManager 0.9.x branch) and got: https://gist.github.com/1547663 Usage First parameter to script is VPN connection name in NetworkManager and second are comma separated names of networks that should be ignored (using VPN connection at home is useless). clone gist somewhere (eg. git clone git://gist.github.com/1547663.git /home/user/autovpn/) add to /etc/rc.local: python /home/user/autovpn/autovpn.py "myvpn" 'Auto homenetwork,Auto worknetwork' > /var/log/autovpn.log& reboot :-)
