London Python Meetup, Tuesday May the 6th

It’s doubly good time for a Python meet-up. Firstly, Django’s Jacob Kaplan-Moss is in town. If I can coax him into speaking, I will.

Secondly, what with the release of the Google App Engine, I expect a big increase in interest in Python in general.

The venue is the ThoughtWorks UK office (map here). The time is seven in the evening, for a seven-thirty start. Beer and (hopefully) pizza provided.

I’d like to run some lightning talks again, so please volunteer if you’ve got anything you’d like to talk about. Be warned, though - I’m planning to be much stricter about the five minute time limit this time.

Also, I’d be very grateful to get a couple of volunteers to help me out with stuff like letting people in, leading people to a pre-arrange pub afterwards, that kind of thing. I was a bit run off my feet last time.

Hope to see a lot of you there. Please leave a comment if you’re coming, and if you have any Python-curous friends or colleagues, try to drag them along!

    I’m willing to do a lightning talk on the Google App Engine from the perspective of a Django/Python relative newbie.

    Hope to see you all there
