Last night went pretty well, I thought. Good speakers, good pizza, a good crowd, and acceptable beer. No such thing as bad free beer, right. ;-) We did run a little later than I’d planned, but not horribly so.

So, thanks to all who came, thanks to all the speakers, and thanks to ThoughtWorks for the venue and victuals.

A spot of coverage from Tim Golden and Fuzzyman.

I’m hoping to arrange more evenings like this soon. I was thinking that in future I’d aim to have just the one 30-45 minute main speaker, and leave more room for lightning talks.

What does everyone think? Volunteers?

    Much as I enjoyed the opportunity, I think more shorter talks would work better - so one main talk and several lightning talks is good.

    I can do a lightning on rest2web if you want…

    Agreed. One main talk, a few lightning talks sounds grand. I’ve got loads I could give (almost but not all Windows-oriented) but probably later when others have had a chance!

    I’m glad to hear that the London Python events are starting up again. There’s a small crowd of Pythonistas down here in Brighton - we have a good boot-strapped start-up scene (e.g. my fivepoundapp.com) but nothing for Python.
    I’ll keep my ears open and, given a bit of notice, I’ll round-up a few of the likely suspects down here and see if we can head up and join you all for a drink.
    Regards,
    Ian

    The vibe was certainly different last night to other London Python meetups. Less drinking and more Python. Probably a good thing I suppose :)

    One big talk and lots of small talks seems reasonable to me although I’m not adverse to a 2-3 bigger talks either.

    I can think of one or two lightning talks I’d like present at future events.

    I’d be up for doing a lightning on Quixote ( http://www.quixote.ca ).

    A good evening of Python, I thought. And good pizza too.

    I’m easy about the format of the evenings. Having more lightning talks sounds fine.
