| Meetings are hosted by Computer Science at ANU and are held in room N101, CSIT building ANU. 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. | Information about meetings will be updated on this wiki as promptly as possible. Discussion about the upcoming meetings and reminders are posted to the mailing list. |

Some topics that have been suggested are: |
