Umm Best Practices.... Pick a date, get a venue, starting small is probably wise, just announce a meeting with no set agenda talks in a pub. Mail mailing lists where python programmers in galway are likely to hang out (ilug.ie worked well for me, Im sure Galway has some sort of compsoc in the university.) Turn up and wait for people, bring a sign to stick on a pub table so people who turn up know who you are. Let us know about your meeting and we will stick it up on python.ie . Stick it on all the sites like upcoming etc you can find. Then turn up and see if anyone shows. Do something every month, even if its just going to the pub. Every month. Under no circumstances take a break for Christmas. Once you have a gang of people turning up to the pub, suggest giving talks and see what people would like to talk about. Things will take care of themselves from there.
