- Suggest a talk!
Mailing List
We also communicate about the meetings and about anything Python via our mailing list.
Newcomers are always welcome to attend or write to the mailing list, we're a friendly bunch!
We have a policy about job offers on the mailing list:
- As long as it's a Python-related job offer by the hiring company and not by an intermediary recruiter, you can just send it to the mailing list.
- If it's not Python-related, or the poster of the job ad is a recruiter who won't mention the company that will be doing the hiring, please just use Seek or Monster, and don't write to the mailing list.
Code of conduct
Though we are not affiliated with Linux Australia or Pycon AU, we've chosen to follow their Code of Conduct for our meetings. Not because we've ever had any problem in the past, but so that we know what to do if any problem should arise in the future.
Meeting 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.

OpenShift by Red Hat is a free-as-in-beer and soon to be free-as-in-speech PaaS platform that supports several open-source application server environments, including JavaEE6, Python, Ruby, PHP, and Perl. This demo will show you how to sign up for OpenShift, install and use the command-line tools to create an application, and how to use git to download, modify, and upload your own WSGI and Python applications. You can use your WSGI framework of choice, including Django, Flask, and Bottle. Inspire9 will be generously hosting this and subsequent meetings, and drinks will be generously provided by Python Charmers. Mike Dewhirst "Back of the envelope entrepreneuring. Sweat-equity."
