London Python Meetup, Wednesday, October the 8th

We’ll be running a Python meetup on Wednesday the 8th here at the ThoughtWorks UK office, (map here). We’ll start at 7p.m. for pizza, 7:30 for talks.

Any volunteers for talks and lightnings? If need be, I can run an improved version of the mock testing talk I gave at PyCon UK this year, but if anyone has a talk they’d like to give, that would be great.

I’ll need some lightning talks for certain. Remember - anyone can do a lightning. You don’t need to be any kind of expert; a plea for help or advice makes a perfectly good lightning. Expertise is welcome too, of course. ;-) A pet project, a new library you’ve come across recently, a learning experience you’ve had, anything. Please, don’t be backward coming forward!

Again, a couple of volunteers to help me out with letting people in, leading people to a pre-arranged pub afterwards and so forth would be great, too.

Please leave a comment if you’re coming, so I can arrange beer and pizza. If you have any Python-curous friends or colleagues, try to drag them along too.

If you can’t make it this time, do subscribe to the feed so you’ll be up to date with future meetings. Or would people prefer a London Python mailing list? Do let me know…

    I’m afraid I won’t be coming as I’m not in London on Tuesdays. :-(

    Still, I hope it goes well. :-)

    Doh - I meant *Wednesday* the 8th. Corrected now…

    Will be there. Great to see that you’ve moved it to a Wednesday, it no longer clashes with the Flag&Bell meetup :-)
    PS I’d be happy to help out with standing at the front door, or other duties as required.

    Business and family permitting, I will be there.

    I hope I can make it, and might bring some colleagues too.

    With regards to feed vs. mailing list, I think using Upcoming or Meetup should do the trick.

    I’ll be there.

    I should be there, I can give a lightning talk on something too. I would also ask for a mailing list rather than a RSS feed as I have emotional issues with RSS.

    I plan to be there

    I should be there. I’m a python-curious perl programmer. A london-python mailing list would be very useful. It would probably be a good idea to have a seperate ‘announce’ mailing list (all of which gets copied to the discussion list) as well. And for those people who don’t like RSS - take a look at rss2email.

    I will be there, along with one colleague who could do a lightning talk on http://www.simpledbdev.com (it’s written in Python) if you are still looking for lightning talks.

    Looking forward to it, thanks! I do tend to miss these meetings because I’m not paying attention to the feed, so I think the mailing list would be a great addition.

    I’ll be there but without a navigator so I might have to rely on my FreeRunner instead, expect me to be late (but save me a beer ;)
