=== Other Meetings ===

The [http://groups.google.com/group/pdxdjango Portland Django User Group] has recently been formed to focus on [http://www.djangoproject.com/ Django].

The [http://code.arlim.org/wiki/ Portland Code Sprints] have been going strong and by some fluke most of the projects have been in Python. The sprints are great hands-on fun for folks at any level. If you're a beginner with little or no Python experience, come and get paired up with an expert; if you're an expert come and expand your knowledge or share your experience.
