The Melbourne Python Users Group currently meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month at Intrepid Travel in Fitzroy. New members and presenters are always welcome. | The Melbourne Python Users Group is currently mostly active via its [[http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/melbourne-pug|mailing list]]. Newcomers are always welcome; we're a friendly bunch :) |

The main culprit is [mailto:anthony.briggs@gmail.com Anthony Briggs], along with a number of high caliber/hard core pythonistas. We also have a [http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/melbourne-pug mailing list]. | A Facebook group has also been set up to facilitate interactions between MPUGgers, should they prefer that medium. (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=59918958226) The main culprits are [[mailto:r1chardj0n3s@gmail.com|Richard Jones]] and [[mailto:tleeuwenburg@gmail.com|Tennessee Leeuwenburg]], along with a number of other Pythoneers.

The next meeting is on August the 18th at 6.30pm, and we'll have two presentations - one on test driven development by Bruce Cropley and another from Richard Jones on pygame. | Meetings are held at [[http://www.robotsushi.com/|Robot Sushi and Bar]], 12 Bligh Place, Melbourne. |

[http://www.whereis.com/whereis/mapping/geocodeAddress.do?advertiserId=&streetNumber=12&streetName=Spring+st&poiType=&suburb=fitzroy&state=Victoria&x=39&y=11 Map to Intrepid Travel] It's pretty close to the 96 and 112 tram, and only a short hop from Parliament station. Not too sure about parking, but there's a fair bit of street parking around, particularly after hours. There are also a large number of cafes and restaurants along Brunswick street. The meeting format is largely ad-hoc, and we're willing to experiment with different ideas, such as lightning presentations, announcements, demos or code/design reviews. If you have an idea, drop Anthony an email or bring it up for discussion, either on the list or at the meeting. |

We meet on the second Tuesday of every month starting at 6:30pm. '''Tuesday the 13th of October''' ''15 minute talks'' * HTML generation in code made way nicer (Richard Jones) ''5 minute lightning talks'' === Potential Topics === If you're not sure on a topic, or don't want to give a presentation, perhaps you could give us an idea of topics or areas that you would like to hear about - that way we can encourage people who have that particular area of expertise, but who might be wavering. Some topics that have been suggested are: * PIL * pygame * pyopengl * zope * pypi * distutils * wxPython * Twisted * web/CGI * Databases * Unit Testing * Patterns * web2py If you feel qualified to give a talk/presentation on any of these, let me know and I'll schedule you in for a timeslot. Or just edit the wiki directly - that's what it's all about, after all :) === Previous Topics === '''Tuesday the 8th of September''' ''15 minute talks'' * Mike Dewhirst reviewing Pro Django * Richard Jones by request doing a short intro to context managers ''5 minute lightning talks'' * Richard Jones isn't a lumberjack, but someone cool is...
