This can be tricky to find the first time: it's a semi-circular glass-fronted meeting room directly south of the large bike cage which is located behind the CSIT building. If you arrive between 6 and 6.30 there should be some fellow pythoneers around this vicinity to help point you in the right direction if you can get to the back-side of the CSIT building. | Meetings are hosted by Computer Science at ANU and are held in room N101, CSIT building ANU. |

| 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: |
* "Package deployment and management in a locked down Windows environment" - Adam Kerz * [[attachment:pythonPackages.ppt|Presentation]] |
| Line 42: | Line 72: |
| * Django * PIL * pygame * pyopengl * zope * pypi * distutils * wxPython * Twisted * web/CGI * Databases * Unit Testing * Patterns * web2py |
* "Upcoming: PyConAU; Linux Conf AU and Zookeepr interest" - Elena Williams |
| Line 57: | Line 74: |
| 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 :) | '''20 minute talks''' * "How did and will we use Python for streamflow forecast services? Bureau of Meteorology" - Daehyok Shin * Using Cython to wrap C++ classes: Part 1: What is Cython and who uses it, anyway? - Paul Leopardi (Postponed to next month - I have a cold and won't be able to speak, sorry.)
