Do try to get along, or better ... http://announce.londonpython.org.uk/2008/05/07/upcoming-events-2/ Last night went very well, I thought. Good crowd (50 or so), good speakers, plenty of beer and pizza, and I didn't screw anything up. ;-) Thanks to ThoughtWorks for the venue, beer, and pizza, thanks to all the lightning speakers, thanks to Jacob for giving up time for us on ... http://announce.londonpython.org.uk/2008/05/07/last-nights-meetup-2/ 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 ... http://announce.londonpython.org.uk/2008/04/15/london-python-meetup-tuesday-may-the-5th/ There's a couple of upcoming events that some of you might be interested in. Firstly, Brighton's first Python meet is planned for February the 20th, and Ian Ozsvald sent us all an invite. Sounds like fun. (I can't make the first of these, but I'll keep an eye out for later ... http://announce.londonpython.org.uk/2008/01/22/upcoming-events/ I'd like to try another formal event for March - see if I can be a bit less disorganised this time - but for that, I'll need speakers. Any volunteers? http://announce.londonpython.org.uk/2008/01/22/looking-for-speakers-for-march/ Following a couple of semi-formal meetups, I thought it was time for one of our decidedly unformal booze-ups. The Porterhouse, Covent Garden, Tuesday, February the 12th anyone? http://announce.londonpython.org.uk/2008/01/22/london-python-booze-up-tuesday-february-the-12th/ Sorry about all the cock-ups last night. I still have no idea why the pizza didn't turn up. And I never did find out which pub you all went to... Still, The speakers were great, I thought, even though I let people go way over time. So, next time, I'll watch the ... http://announce.londonpython.org.uk/2007/12/06/last-nights-meetup/ Tomorrow is shaping up well, but there may still be room for more lightning speakers. I'm looking for, oh, half a dozen or so. So far, I have James Casbon and Andy Nelis, and maybes from Michael Foord, Menno Smits, Jonathan Hogg, and Michael Grazebrook. Feel free to sign up anyway ... http://announce.londonpython.org.uk/2007/12/04/lightning-talks-tomorrow/ 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 ... http://announce.londonpython.org.uk/2007/11/13/london-python-meetup-wednesday-december-the-5th/ 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 ... http://announce.londonpython.org.uk/2007/10/11/london-python-last-night-and-next-time/
