Thanks for getting this off the ground, Giacomo. Your Django presentation was very helpful and got the basics across very well - cheers!
I'm not sure myself whether I'd make a fortnightly meeting - my preference would be for a monthly meeting (at least until we've got it off the ground more). On a completely different topic, FYI, the ACCU general mailing list has an interesting thread at the moment about "Books and language for the first time programmer". There's considerable support for Python as a first language, you'll be pleased to hear! Interestingly however, no-one's been able to recommend a book for the novice programmer that uses Python.

Thanks to everyone who dared the terrible football-induced traffic (next time I'll check the Old Trafford fixtures first!) to attend the first PNW meeting. We had a very nice chat on several topics, from Zope to PyQt to Twisted, and of course the django presentation (which I uploaded at http://groups.google.com/group/python-north-west/files in PDF and ODP). I guess next time I have to advertise the free munchies ;) The room was excellent and people at MDDA were extra-kind. Feedback was good enough that I might try to make it a fortnightly event if we have speakers, so if you know someone who might be interested in giving a short talk, or if you stumble on some cool software, just drop me a line! If you want to present but don't feel like travelling all the way to Manchester, we could do it in another city as well (Leeds? Liverpool?). Or we could do it "the Brummie way" and alternate talks and socials. What do you think?
