You're right about the fatigue and it's my fault for being unclear. The events won't all be python related. I have contacts with people from other events so I'm thinking one Python dojo or hackathon, a general themed hackathon with participation from multiple disciplines and maybe a barcamp every other month or something. I'm still working out the details and I've started hitting up other companies for potential sponsorship.
Still early days. The one thing I don't want to do is step on the toes of the existing dojo. So please, if you feel this is the case let me know and we can work something out. Maybe the python dojo stays as it is and we concentrate on a Python hackathon on the weekend (which I really like the idea of).
