Due to PyCon and other things, I don't think it will be possible to
get everyone for 'proper' meeting till mid April or so. In order to
discuss the conference and related plans, I think there should be a
good number of people attending. If not, it'll be pretty pointless.

However, I don't think we should stop having the monthly meetings. If
there are sufficient people around, maybe we can hold a small user
group meetup like last time this weekend (28 or so)? What say?

   

So are we having a meeting on 28 March?

-1, I won't be able to attend this - too many plans already
this Saturday.

Btw, what is the agenda ? What do you plan to accomplish
in this meeting ?

I don't think one should call this just like a general technical
meeting. Otherwise it might just turn out to be a melee.
Please plan ahead on a few key points to discuss. Ask
attendees to come prepared with points and questions.

The Agenda Upcoming Python Conference is too broad.

Unless some key people are attending such a meeting, I don't
see the point in it.

For example - Is Ramdas, Jace there ? Is Sree (Mahiti)
attending ? I don' see any +1s from them.


 Thanks.

I agree. I will parse the logs for the last meeting and merge it with
the first meetings minutes to make a solid agenda. I will then send it
out.

 attending ? I don' see any +1s from them.

This is a problem. We need to maximise attendance for a meeting such
as this. Especially from the key people.
It might be a good idea to keep it next week if more people can
attend. Is that okay?

I tried going on the channel yesterday to find some people but no one
was there.

Re: [BangPypers] Face to face meeting for Python conference

2009-03-19 Thread Ramdas S
I am sorry! -1 for tomorrow from me personally. But I am looking forward to
a meeting soon. Suggest 28th instead, if others are Ok.


Btw, I think it'll be a nice idea if we can've separate threads on sub
topics on the event, so that interested volunteers/parties can take things
forward on those threads. say have separate threads on sponsorships, venue,
content, promotion, logistics etc, and keep discussing.

I must confess that at least for me the IRC discussion was a bit cluttered
to follow exactly what people were trying to emphasise. A meeting of at
least 8-10 of us is a must, to really see where we are .

just an idea, we can have a live update, broadcast or commentary on key
issues discussed/suggested just like cricinfo cricket commentary, so that
those who cannot attend the meeting can be updated, and some real time
opinions suggestions can also come in. It can be done on IRC itself, but
other options such as Twitter can also be explored.

Do advise

 Sorry to bother you with this man and thanks. :)

If sufficient people do chime in,
Sidu can probably arrange the venue.
I can, and if we end up doing this it will be at ThoughtWorks, Diamond 
District, Airport Rd.

I'd personally like it sometime pre-lunch on Saturday but that's
really upto the group.

I'm not sure if we have a google group but the list archives are at
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/bangpypers/

and the python wiki has a page group for Bangpypers.
