Meeting Details, Location, etc.

Time: Monday July 2nd, 12.30pm til end of lunch hour Venue: Loco Bar, Spencer St Station. Contact: tleeuwenburg@gmail.com Agenda: Meet 'n Greet

Below is the information for the meeting location for evening meetings as organised over 2005/2006.

Map to Intrepid Travel

It's pretty close to the 96 and 112 tram, and only a short hop from Parliament station. Not too sure about parking, but there's a fair bit of street parking around, particularly after hours. There are also a large number of cafes and restaurants along Brunswick street.

The meeting format is largely ad-hoc, and we're willing to experiment with different ideas, such as lightning presentations, announcements, demos or code/design reviews. If you have an idea, drop Anthony an email or bring it up for discussion, either on the list or at the meeting.

Potential Topics

If you're not sure on a topic, or don't want to give a presentation, perhaps you could give us an idea of topics or areas that you would like to hear about - that way we can encourage people who have that particular area of expertise, but who might be wavering. Some topics that have been suggested are:

  • PIL
  • pygame
  • pyopengl
  • zope
  • pypi
  • distutils
  • wxPython
  • Twisted
  • web/CGI
  • Databases
  • Unit Testing
  • Patterns

If you feel qualified to give a talk/presentation on any of these, let me know and I'll schedule you in for a timeslot. Or just edit the wiki directly - that's what it's all about, after all :)
