That's a good idea, Kevin. I think what we wanted to do is to start up Python user groups around the country, and it would be a nice break from Dublin. And maybe when there are more than, say, one user group, we can bring them all together for a proper Python Ireland get together.
Obviously, that means there has to be a dedicated core members in each group to keep their own meetups going each month. But that doesn't stop Python Ireland participating in other events. If people want to, let me know, I have posters, cards, and t-shirts. :) Cheers, /// Vicky ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ http://irishbornchinese.com ~~ ~~ http://www.python.ie ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Sun, Apr 19, 2009 at 1:34 PM, PJ Fitzpatrick < [email protected]> wrote: > Kevin, > I may be incorrect but arent you talking about Appengine in cork?
