Hi ChiPy,
We recently had a very successful online Main Meeting and WebDev/DevOps SIG
Meeting using a new tool called StreamYard, which allows us to stream and
record directly to our ChiPy YouTube channel. We can switch between
different video inputs, including screen-sharing and video cameras. This is
pretty exciting as we can continue to hold meetings from home!
Now we need your help to make our upcoming meetings great! We are looking
for speakers for our May 14th and June 11th Main meetings, and invite you
to give a Python talk. If you are interested in submitting a talk, please
submit via our speaker registration form below.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Greetings ChiPy!
First off, our highest hope is that all of you are safe, secure and staying
at home as much as possible these past few weeks. As we all
self-quarantine, we are still seeing reports of folks who are contracting
COVID-19 and it’s more than apparent that we are in this together. We hope
you’ll engage our community on Slack to talk and support one another.
Virtual communities like the one we have on Slack are so important during
this time.
We want to let you, our community, know what we have planned for the
upcoming ChiPY events. We will not be meeting in person until well after
the Stay at Home Order expires. However, we have some great online events
planned for April and we hope you'll join us:
Tuesday April 7th - WebDev / DevOps SIG: We will be meeting virtually with
a live stream on YouTube. Starting at 6pm Central. RSVP at
https://www.meetup.com/_ChiPy_/events/268115731/
Thursday April 9th - __main__ meeting: We will be meeting virtually with a
live stream on Youtube! RSVP at
https://www.meetup.com/_ChiPy_/events/269121651/
Thursday, April 16 - Project Night: Join us in Slack on #projectnight from
6:00-9:00 for some group work rooms. We’ll start with a few main rooms in
Hangouts and folks can split off from there by project. These will be
hosted by some of our amazing organizers:
-
Heather White
-
Joe Jasinski
-
Ray Berg
-
Zax Rosenberg
We will be having discussions during the livestreams in the #chipy-tube
channel on ChiPy Slack. If you haven't already, join our Slack:

We are looking for more ideas all the time (and more volunteers) to help us
expand Python in Chicago even/especially while at home. If you have ideas
and want to help, we’d love to hear from you.
Always Pythoning,
ChiPy Board
