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]].

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.

Time: Monday July 2nd, 12.30pm til end of lunch hour
Venue: Loco Bar, Spencer St Station.
Contact: tleeuwenburg@gmail.com
Agenda: Meet 'n Greet
We're looking for a good venue where we can have presentations, drink and perhaps eat somewhere in the CBD. The Redback Hotel has been mentioned but it's out of the CBD which isn't friendly to people coming in from the wilds.

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.

The Melbourne Python Users Group

The Melbourne Python Users Group is currently mostly active via its 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 Richard Jones and Tennessee Leeuwenburg, along with a number of other Pythoneers.

Meeting Details, Location, etc.

We're looking for a good venue where we can have presentations, drink and perhaps eat somewhere in the CBD. The Redback Hotel has been mentioned but it's out of the CBD which isn't friendly to people coming in from the wilds.

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

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 :)
