+1 on what Sean said, "Under no circumstances take a break for Christmas"!
You can ping the Python Ireland list on your meet-ups. You can also tweet with @pythonireland in it, and/or let me know, I can tweet about it as pythonireland. Also, I have other places you can announce your meet-ups, traffic is sort of low in these groups though:- * Facebook group - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=20154483464 * Bebo group - http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=4956368143 * LinkedIn group - http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=40749&trk=hb_side_g Others to consider on top of upcoming:- * http://www.ratemyarea.com/ * meetup.com The best place is this google group mailing list. :) Oh, if it's on a weekend, I should be able to make it as well. I'll bring along t-shirts, stickers, biz cards and posters.
