| 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!

There is the possibility that some members of the group will go and have dinner after the meeting nearby. === 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 May 2md 2013:''' '''Main talk (30 minutes):''' Gavin Huttley will intro '''5-15 minute talks currently proposed''' * Paul Leopardi will discuss the bioinformatics work he is doing in Python, and workflow issues he is facing * Padarn Wilson will give a brief description of doing traditional statistics in Python (linear regression etc) ---------- OLD WIKI INFORMATION FROM 2012 AND EARLIER ---------- '''Wednesday 26th September 2012''' '''5 minute talks''' * '''20 minute talks''' * 10 cool things about Python -- Ed Schofield '''Show and Tell''' * PyCon AU highlights -- Elena Williams (contributions welcome from other attendees!) * --- '''Wednesday 27th June 2012''' '''20 minute talks''' .

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 '''20 minute talks''' * "How did and will we use Python for streamflow forecast services?
