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. == Topics ==
We are always after new speakers, don't be shy! Everyone in the room wants to hear about your experiences and is there to learn something cool. It is a low pressure, supportive environment to present at.

'''Food:'''

We plan to organize pizza or similar to arrive during the meeting for those interested. We will also provide some (non alcoholic!) drinks. After the meeting, those who are interested may continue discussions at the Wig and Pen on Alinga Street.

=== Potential Topics ===
We are open to any topics Python related at this stage, though we will discuss the possibility of encouraging a theme of 'Scientific Computing and Analytics' at the first meeting.

Some topics that have interested the Canberra python users in the past are:

 * GIS, data analysis, SciPy/NumPy, wxPython, PyJS (Pyjamas), Django, Python hardware interfaces
 * Demos of what you're doing/working on!

=== Talks Schedule ===
'''Thursday April 4th 2013:'''

At the first meeting of the year we invite anyone to give a short talk about what they are doing with Python and what they are excited about.

'''5-15 minute talks currently proposed'''

 * Introduction to the Canberra Python Users Group 2013 -- Padarn Wilson
 * MOOCs -- Tom Worthington
 * Python at Geoscience Australia -- Fei Zhang
 * PyCCSM, the first pythonic coupled climate mode and new directions in multigrid frameworks -- Jay Larson

Note: A timetable of these talks for the night will be decided on early in the week starting the 1st of April.

Summary: plenty of new faces despite the sleety, cold Canberra "Autumn" weather. Nice mixed bag of interests, more python games people which seemed to spark some interest.

Thanks to Adam for telling us about his deployment system.

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.

'''5 minute talks'''

 * "Package deployment and management in a locked down Windows environment" - Adam Kerz
  * [[CanberraPUG?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=pythonPackages.ppt|Presentation]]

 * "Upcoming: PyConAU; Linux Conf AU and Zookeepr interest" - Elena Williams
