Re: [Madison] modest proposal: meet at geek dinner instead

6 May 2009

      Actually, there was a request from Jim for during the day - which would mean weekend days for many of us - so possibly, if it wouldn't cause too much confusion, having (say) two meetings a month: one on a Saturday afternoon, and one on a weekday evening?

Regardless, I'll get in touch with Escape (which seems to work fairly well for most people) and see what the availability of rooms is like.

I'd be interested in participating,
too, though I'm just diving into Python. I also think
Escape would be a great place to meet.
Any ideas on what day of the week to meet and when
we're going to get started? I would prefer weekdays -
maybe Tuesday evenings?

Hi Max,
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
I think it would be great to get this
group going.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
I tried to help Benet with this but I kind
of stumbled on trying to find
...
...
...
...
a place to hold meetings. I think it would
be great if we could have them on
...
...
...
...
campus - the business school has some
rooms that would be great for this.
...
...
...
...
The problem I ran into is that since I am
no longer a student, I could not
...
...
...
...
reserve a room. Maybe with you helping
out, that could change.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
The other thing that I think we should do
is put up flyers (or whatever
...
...
...
...
medium students use these days) around
campus. My wife is a designer. I
...
...
...
...
think I could get her to whip something up
for us. I live out in the middle
...
...
...
...
of nowhere. So if you could post them,
that would be great.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Benet mentioned that the general thought
in the past was to make these
...
...
...
...
events more social - perhaps have them at
a bar. I think it would be very
...
...
...
...
difficult to discuss these things at a
bar. So my preference would be to
...
...
...
...
start the meeting in a quieter place, then
migrate to a bar. The study pub
...
...
...
...
at Fluno is pretty nice.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
In any case, it would be nice to get to
know you. I too am an
...
...
...
...
entrepreneur. I use python all the time. I
do a lot of work in Django.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Best,
...
...
...
...
Chuck

Hey guys,

...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...

I was just seeing if there were any
plans to start back up
...
...
...
...
...
the madpython group?  I would be
interested in getting to
...
...
...
...

know you guys.  I'm an undergrad
at UW starting a

...
...
...

startup and we use python
extensively..  I love it.
