The Melbourne Python Users Group
The Melbourne Python Users Group is currently mostly active via its mailing list. Newcomers are always welcome; we're a friendly bunch 
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.
Meetings are held at Horse Bazaar, 397 Little Lonsdale St, Melbourne.

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

Tuesday the 11th of August
- Martin Schweitzer "Primetime Wordfinding"... It's a rather novel algorithm that I (re)discovered(?)* for finding word matches when given a group of letters (eg. think of the puzzle in the age where you have a grid with 9 letters and have to find words). I then noticed that it had applications to other fields such as bioinformatics (which I won't go into in the talk [unless, of course, there is a particular interest]). It also has a very nice representation in Python - which I will mention.
- Richard Jones ... a new cool thing I'm working on
Chris Miles "Intro to PSI (Python System Information)"
