Hello,

We're headed to *PYCON* in Santa Clara. Look for us in the expo hall or
floating around the conference. If you've ever wanted to write a Python
book for O'Reilly, and you'll be at the conference, then make sure you look
for editor *Rachel Roumeliotis*.

Cheers,

—Marsee Henon and Jon Johns

One of the side stories of the 2012 presidential campaign was the success
of Obama's software team. The team built their software in-house, and put
into practice many ideas from the *DevOps* world. Game day was one of the
most important: an exercise in which part of the team tried as hard as
possible to break their systems, while the rest of the team tried to keep
things running. They simulated everything from database failure to massive
network outages. And as a result, when the election came, they were certain
that they could respond to any crisis.

Take a look at this new report from O'Reilly
today.<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zuu9ukcmv72brkblafeidm46l0sgtjc6p80mde30>

Join Jeff Gothelf for a hands-on
webcast<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zpptj0igfd32r7mpp6q09l49qpekavespj42ut2o>to
learn how Lean
UX <http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zo6ngm2q62vl6s10i9bpkqp1dtbh1q8o2s9kg7r8>aims
to open up the user experience design process with a collaborative
approach that involves the entire team. It's a hypothesis-based design
approach that tests design ideas early and often and, along the way, builds
a shared understanding with team mates that eliminates the dependencies on
heavy documentation and challenging communications.
