Hi, I'm Harlin Seritt. I am in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I work at Alfresco Software doing technical support. Python has not always been the programming language primarily used where I've worked but I have carried it everywhere I've gone as I've found it to be indispensable to my daily work. I have been coding in Python since around 2001. I enjoy also creating sites/web apps with Django. Look forward to working with all of you down the road. All the best, Harlin On Mon, Sep 21, 2015 at 10:00 AM, Kenneth Love wrote:

I’ll jump on the introductions bandwagon. I’m Kenneth, from the US (Portland, OR so say ‘hi’ at the next PyCon NA). I teach Python at teamtreehouse.com and I was a Python and Django developer for a long time before that. Some of you have probably used my django-braces package.

Welcome to the mailing list, everyone. Hope to get to know you all better!

As to what is next, that is a good question. It's isn't for us to dictate. Generally, what is on topic here are things that fellow Pythonistas will find interesting and useful. Community events, calls for papers, discussions of Python, of libraries, and of interesting articles.

Aren't sure something that someone else posted is on topic? We should give each other the benefit of the doubt before criticizing or using inflammatory language. But let's try to keep this focused on things that are useful to the community.

Thanks,

Hi everyone :-) I'm Horst and I'm a (mostly web-) developer in Graz, Austria for a mid-size e-commerce company (sadly not Python-related). I've used Python on and off for the last 10 years for various hobby and university projects. Community-wise I've been on the website team for EuroPython 2014 and a couple of PyConDEs and I'm one of the organizers of our local Python User Group in Graz ( https://pygraz.org ). If anyone is ever in the region, drop me a mail or just come to our monthly meetups if you have the time :-) - Horst

I am the organizer of ABQpy (The Albuquerque Python User's Group), and am an embedded systems developer and occasional web and desktop application developer.

Hi Folks, I am Bibha from NYC. I started using Python in 2003 but when I taught myself the language to build a tool for server monitoring during my internship. More recently I have used it as my main programming language for financial firms. My goal is to be able to teach programming with python to elementary school kids as my leisure. Hope to learn a lot from you all here!! Cheers, B Sent from my iPhone On Sep 21, 2015, at 1:40 PM, Kirk Strauser wrote: Hello, gang! I’m Kirk Strauser from San Francisco.

Hi Kirk and members, We look forward to having you at PyCon US! The site will launch later this week and registration will open mid-October! All are welcome to follow our twitter account for updates: https://twitter.com/pycon

How *DO* you use electronic pieces of rainproof clothing to do Python development?
