When I upgraded my Mac to OS X Mavericks, a lot of utilities (like Python, virtualenv, Xcode) broke, and it was pretty stressful trying to get it all set back up. Hopefully this guide can spare you some of that pain.Note: I'm by no means a Linux or Mac expert, so please fork and let me know if anything is redundant, incorrect, or missing!
# A guide to prevent pain and suffering while upgrading to OS X Mavericks
# This will vary greatly depending on system set up, so read the instructions carefully
# Back up Virtulenvs
####################
# Very important!
# For each virtualenv you have, run "pip freeze > requirements.txt" while in the activated virtualenv
# in order to prevent loss of dependencies during the upgrade.

Steps to install a Comodo PositiveSSL certificate with Nginx.

Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

Creating GIFs from .MOV files in OSX using FFmpeg and ImageMagick

Convert MOV to GIF using FFmpeg and ImageMagick

I tried a few different techniques to make a GIF via command-line and the following gives me the best control of quality and size. Once you're all setup, you'll be pumping out GIFs in no time!

Preparation

Install FFmpeg

  • $ brew install ffmpeg [all your options]
    • Example: $ brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-ffplay --with-freetype --with-frei0r --with-libass --with-libvo-aacenc --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opencore-amr --with-openjpeg --with-opus --with-rtmpdump --with-schroedinger --with-speex --with-theora --with-tools

Install ImageMagick

PyOhio Organizer Advice
Hi Jason,
I've chaired PyOhio for the last three years, and we'd love to see more conferences. With PyCon being capped, and with us only able to accept a third of the talk proposals we received this year, there is increasing demand for more get togethers where we can share and learn from one another.
I am not a board member of the PSF, so I can only speak to my experience in answering some of your questions. I don't speak for the PSF.
As for needing to be a 501, no you don't need to be. PyOhio only incorporated last year (this is our sixth year) and is still waiting on 501 status (we got caught up in the 501 scandal too).
