Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago, my colleague Matt and I sent a few emails around to this and a few other lists, gathering interest in a Python User Group in Adelade. As a result, it's now happening! When and Where: The 4th Wednesday of every month, starting the 26th of April, opening at 6.30pm with talks starting at 7pm. We'll be meeting in the CBD, at the Victoria Square campus of Flinders University, located on the corner of Victoria Square and Flinders Street. Format: We're starting with presentations—to get the ball rolling, this month Matt Magin will speak on Django Channels, and Romana Challans on NLTK. If people are interested we could organise some pizzas, and afterwards there's the opportunity to move to a nearby bar for some social drinks if desired. We've heard a fair bit of interest in both participating in and organising other activities as well, which we hope to do once we're up and running. Presenters: If you have something you'd like to share with us next month, please let us know! It could be a 5-minute lightning talk, a full 25-minute presentation or something in between, on any topic of interest to people that use Python. Online: We've set up a few online spaces; we'll be using these for announcements so make sure you join! - There's basic info on http://pythonadelai.de/, as well as a WebCalendar feed at webcal://pythonadelai.de/static/calendar.ics. - Get details and RSVP to meetups on https://www.meetup.com/Python-Adelaide/ - Chat on Discord which you can join here: https://discord.gg/7tmNvCE (If you've never used it, Discord is like Slack, but a bit better suited for public communities.) - Mailing list at [email protected] which you can subscribe to here: https://mail.python.org/mm3/mailman3/lists/python-adelaide.python.org/ - Announcements on Twitter at https://twitter.com/pythonadelaide Access and Inclusion: We want to make Python Adelaide as accessible to everyone as we can! The building is wheelchair-accessible and close to public transport. We don't yet have a solution for childcare but it's something we want to address in the future. If lack of access to childcare is preventing you from attending, or you can think of other ways we can make Python Adelaide more accessible, we'd love to hear from you: chat to us in #planning on Discord or shoot us an email. Conduct: We have a Code of Conduct, adapted from and identical in spirit to the one used at PyCon AU and Linux.conf.au since 2011, which will apply at the meetup and to our online spaces: http://pythonadelai.de/pages/conduct.html If you have any feedback, either now or after the 26th, please don't hesitate to let myself or Matt know! See you next week, Adam _______________________________________________ sapug mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/sapug
