London Python meetup, Wednesday, December the 5th

I’ve been given the go-ahead to organise another Python meetup. Again, the venue is the ThoughtWorks UK office (map here), and as last time, there should be someone speaking by 7:30 so we can be in the pub well before ten. ;-)

Arrive early if you want beer and pizza!

I’m looking for just the one main speaker this time, and up to half a dozen lightning talks.

Please comment below if you plan on coming - I’d like to get some idea of numbers - and especially if you’d like to give a talk. Hope to see a lot of you there!

Update: We have a main speaker - Andy Robinson of ReportLab, Python stalwart, will be telling us about Personalised publishing with Django. Thanks, Andy.

I’m still looking for lightning speakers.

Also, O’Reilly have donated a couple of copies of the forthcoming new edition of Learning Python which I’ll be raffling off. So, thanks to them, too.

Josette at O’Reilly has requested that whoever wins a copy of Learning Python writes up a quick review of it somewhere. I’m sure Amazon would be a good place to put it if you don’t have a blog or whatnot.

Also, if you want to be included in the raffle, make sure you’ve left a comment to tell me you’re coming.

    I think I can make it. I could give a lightning talk on experiences of using Python in a bank if people are interested.

  16. November 15th, 2007 | 1:32 pm

    I plan on turning up.

    Thinking about doing a lightning talk too (probably on Quixote).

  17. November 15th, 2007 | 2:01 pm

    I’ll try and be there

  18. November 15th, 2007 | 2:31 pm

    I should be there again, fingers crossed

    Intending to be there. I could give 5 mins on using the IET for Python lectures (which could lead to us doing more there).

    Hi, I’m just starting out in Python, an absolute newbie - would the stuff discussed at the meetup be out of my depth or worth my coming anyway??

    Mik: I certainly hope it will be worth your while!

    […] Tomorrow is shaping up well, but there may still be room for more lightning speakers. […]

  31. December 4th, 2007 | 10:56 am

    I might be there, just for the irony of it. =)

  32. December 4th, 2007 | 11:30 am

    Hope to be there. Not quite sure, though, so I’d better not offer a talk this time round.

  33. December 4th, 2007 | 11:50 am

    Ola: Don’t worry, we won’t bite. ;-)

  35. December 4th, 2007 | 2:35 pm

    I’ll (hopefully) be there!

  36. December 4th, 2007 | 6:36 pm

    I could *swear* that I put my name down already. Never mind. :-)

    I’ll try to make it at some reasonable hour, and hopefully arrive before everyone migrates to the pub.
