There's a meetup.com group to track numbers etc. Please join up and add yourself to the group! We'll keep you posted with announcements about the meetings. http://www.meetup.com/Canberra-Python-Meetup-Group/. '''Where to get information:'''

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.
