| 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. | Join our slack here: [[ https://join.slack.com/t/canberrapug/shared_invite/zt-50v7p9g3-PnlGqMFr2LumH_dNizyWfg ]] |

| We plan to organize pizza or similar to arrive during the meeting for those interested. We will also provide some (non alcoholic!) drinks.

| === 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. |
