We have a policy about job offers on 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. Some topics that have been suggested are:

CANCELLED - First meetup of the new year: Tue 10th January, Mark Atwood Presenting

Unfortunately Mark Atwood has had to cancel his appearance due to travel problems. With most regulars still on holidays and limited response to a call for alternative presentations, this meeting has regrettably been cancelled.

"Platform as a Service" or PaaS is a popular buzz-word in Cloud Computing. But what does it mean, and how can you use it? 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.

I'd like to quickly shoot through an outline presentation/workshop I am giving at Linux Users Victoria Beginner's Workshop later in May, I am not a Python programmer but I'm presenting a 2-3 hour workshop for programming neophytes and currently I think Python is the language of choice.

Looking for feedback and suggestions on my approach.
