* Where: UTS, Central Sydney, http://slug.org.au/slugmeet.shtml
* RSVP: Please RSVP to [EMAIL PROTECTED] this month for dinner,

Postfix: Buffy the Mail Transfer Agent - Jeff Waugh
An introduction to the Postfix Mail Transfer Agent, how it works, and
cool stuff you can do with your email.
Introduction to the Python language - Andrew Bennetts
"""This talk will briefly cover basic Python, followed by a tour of some
more advanced topics. Topics are likely to include:
* the interactive interpreter
* lists, tuples and dictionaries
* functions, classes and methods
* Python's object system (basically everything is an object)
* functional-style programming with Python
* some fun stuff new in Python 2.x:
+ list comprehensions, generators, nested scopes, ...
* tricks with classes and objects:
+ the "Borg" pattern
+ changing an object's class at runtime (how, and why)
* anything else I can think of, depending on time!
This talk is basically a brief introduction to hopefully whet your
appetite for more in-depth talks (both on the core language and on
libraries available for Python), to be presented at the
soon-to-be-announced Python-SIG!
"""
Dinner - about 9pm
If Boiled Television Entrails aren't seducing you to post-SLUG-meeting
dinners anymore (like many of us), you'll be pleased to know that we're
trying out a new restaurant this month: Spice Boys. Please make sure you
RSVP to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so we can give them an idea of numbers.
