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 5:45 and 6pm there should be some fellow pythoneers around this vicinity to help point you in the right direction.
Upcoming meetings:
The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday 4th July 2013 at 6pm.
- Paul Leopardi will talk about his experience at SciPy 2013.
- Padarn Wilson will give a short introduction to the iPython Notebook.
We will also discuss the upcoming PyConAU 2013 (Hobart) meeting. We have a few users going to PyConAU, which is the following week, so it might be a good opportunity to ask them to be on the lookout for anything of particular interest.
Food:
PLEASE NOTE THAT NO CATERING WILL BE PROVIDED (although we'll have water).
There is the possibility that some members of the group will go and have dinner after the meeting nearby.
