Patrick Holz from the computing centre of the University Cologne has kindly created a mailing list for the emerging Python User Group in Cologne (Köln), Germany. You can find further information and subscribe to the list under the following URL: https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/python-users The conversation on this list is conducted in the German language. The list interface is in German too by default, but you can switch it to English if you like. Posting, subscribers list and archives are currently for list members only, though the latter may change after proper consideration of privacy issues. There is also some basic information about the new Python User Group on the German Python Wiki: http://wiki.python.de/User_Group_K%C3%B6ln You'll find the dates for our regular meetings there, but we will also announce them on the relevant Python mailing lists. Regards, Christopher Arndt
