| There's a [[https://plus.google.com/communities/103339628935802168974|Canberra Python Users Group]] community page on Google+. Please join up and add yourself to the group! We'll keep you posted with announcements about the meetings. The Meetup group that was used in 2012 http://www.meetup.com/Canberra-Python-Meetup-Group/ still exists and has been updated with this planned meeting. RSVP via MeetUp would be greatly appreciated. | |

| 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 can get to the back-side of the CSIT building and arrive between 6:45 and 7pm there should be some fellow pythoneers around this vicinity to help point you in the right direction. | Proudly we over-represent for such a small city and foster a community or engineers, coders and python programmers of all colours and flavours. |

We will definitely be following up on interest in being involved with Zookeepr project for [[http://lca2013.linux.org.au/|Linux Conf]]. Lots of great discussion for future talks, tutes and demos. There was a bit of interest in some fun python basics. A group of hardened web-tech/django folk were talking queuing, caching and static serving until nearly 11pm at the Wig. Good times.
