      Also, do you have an address for the library where this will be held?

While I don't have any Python knowledge Its always been on the top of 
the "to learn" list of programming languages. I tend to mostly be a 
PHP programmer.
I'm active in building community (check out the other local groups: 
http://icanhaz.com/wisc). Next weekend is BarCampMadison2 
(http://barcampmadison2.org). Hope you will all come and geek out with 
us. One session I'm thinking of leading is "Come Learn Python With Me" 
where a bunch of people interested in learning Python would get 
together and start playing around with it.
I also run a small web development company called PoseurTech LLC which 
mostly builds web applications that incorperate new technology such as 
OpenID, Twitter, etc.
Not sure if I will be able to make it to this months meeting but I 
will try.

I'm Jim Steil and I'm been using Python for the past 3 years or
    so.  I'm interested in learning more about Python and helping to
    promote it in the Madison area. I live and work in Dodgeville but
    have spent the past 20 years working in IT in the Madison area.  I
    have significant past experience with the IBM AS/400 (and past
    President of the Madison user group) and PowerBuilder.  I'm
    currently a heavy user of TurboGears and ReportLab.  Looking
    forward to learning new things and sharing what I've already
    learned.  I attended PyCon in Dallas in 2007.

Welcome to new list members!
Since this list is starting to grow but have very little
        traffic (as yet), I thought it might be worthwhile for us to
        briefly introduce ourselves and describe what we're looking
        for from the group.
Me: dropout from a Ph.D. program in computer science at the
        University of Toronto (in formal methods, if you must know..);
        I first got into Python through working at Microsoft, of all
        places, where I spent a very enjoyable six months working on
        IronPython, the version of Python built atop the .NET
        Framework. This last spring I went to PyCon in Chicago, where
        I found there was no user group in Madison, but plenty of
        advice on how to start one, so I am attempting to do so.
        Things have become a bit frenetic in my life, which has
        interfered with promoting the group, but perhaps some of you
        can help spread the word. :)
Our next meeting is scheduled for the coming Tuesday, July
        22nd, at the Madison Central Public Library at 7PM. All welcome!
