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.

There is the possibility that some members of the group will go and have dinner after the meeting nearby.

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

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.
