[Madison] welcome, and upcoming meeting
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!

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.

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.
