PyUK (The UK Python User Group) ACCU Python SIG INAUGURAL MEETING 2002 April 5 Approximately 30 Python users met during the ACCU Spring Conference to launch the Python UK user group. It was agreed that the temporary name for the group would be "PyUK". THANKS There was a show of thanks to the ACCU for offering the Python stream on their conference. INFRASTRUCTURE It was further agreed that PyUK would operate as a SIG (special interest group) within the ACCU (http://www.accu.org). The ACCU already has the organisational infrastructure that the Python groups needs and the expansion of the ACCU's activities to include Python was seen as an all round good thing. Python users would have to join the ACCU but the costs are modest and no one saw this as a barrier. (http://www.accu.org/membership/public/index.htm) Information on the constitution of the ACCU can be found here: http://accu.org/membership/public/constit.htm ACCU COMMITTEE REPRESENTATIVE Dr. Tim Couper volunteered to be a co-opted member on the ACCU committee. PUBLICATIONS Python users would contribute to and benefit from the ACCU's two publications: "C-Vu" and "Overload". Paul Brian volunteered to coordinate submissions for publication. EVENTS Dr. Tim Couper (TAC Software) volunteered to organise PyUK events. WEB SITE While there may be the possibility of some Web space on the ACCU site, there was also seen to be a need for some dedicated space. Chris Withers (New Information Paradigms Ltd) offered some Wiki/Zope hosting. TRAINING There was some group discussion about the possibility of offering Python training. Paul Brian volunteered to coordinate trainers and Andy Robinson suggested a possible venue. Dale Strickland-Clark (Riverhall Systems Ltd), John Pinner (Clockwork Software Systems), Duncan Booth (RCP Consultants Ltd) and others could prepare courses, if sufficient interest was generated. The courses could be advertised on the Web site, in ACCU publications and elsewhere. Dale Strickland-Clark Riverhall Systems Ltd. Custom database and Web applications.
