Re: [Madison] Madison Digest, Vol 9, Issue 2
I like the idea of Escape or even a place like Mickey's if everyone attending is 21 or over. Both are on Willy St. and both have good areas to hang out and have a meet-up. Attendance has been so low, we should give people another reason for going (like beer). Jason On May 5, 2009, at 2:58 PM, madison-request@python.org wrote:

I've got meeting space, but I'm in Dodgeville. I'm guessing that wouldn't be very convenient for people. Anyone know anybody at a bigger company in Madison that would have meeting rooms we could use? Any consulting organizations up there getting into Python?

I've kinda stumbled on the meeting-place too. Well, full disclosure: also procrastinated. Life has been very busy and stressful for me in the past little while, and unfortunately organizing the group has ended up dropping off the map.
My current thought for meetings is Escape Java Joint, which is reasonably central and has rooms available for a fairly small fee. But meeting at the university, if someone could manage that - I think we probably need a faculty sponsor of some kind - would also be good.

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

For the New Year, the current thoughts are:
1) move to a different day, possibly during
geek the
day on the weekend
2) move to a venue with food/coffee/drink 3) have more scheduled presentations and such
So any thoughts about that are welcome.

I have never done any room reservation, but I doubt it would be a problem. Do you know how best to go about that?
As for flyers, there is a new mailing list for CS students that I could spam.
I'm fine with any location. I might have difficulty getting anywhere outside of the campus area (I live by the capitol). I'm also of age so a bar is fine with me too.
