From joe.jasinski at gmail.com Tue Mar 10 19:47:14 2020 From: joe.jasinski at gmail.com (Joe Jasinski) Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2020 18:47:14 -0500 Subject: [Chicago] ChiPy Events Canceled: COVID-19 concerns Message-ID: ChiPy, The ChiPy Board and Organizers have been monitoring the spread of COVID-19 in Chicago and abroad. We are not alone; every conference and user group is taking risks to our community very seriously. PyCon, UIC, UChicago, Northwestern, and higher exposure (currently) communities like PyBay and PuPPy are actively watching the situation as well. ChiPy intends to continue to keep our community safe and we, along with our hosts, felt that the best course of action would be to cancel the following in-person meetups: Cancelled - As Planned - __main__ Thursday 3/12 meeting at Echo Global logistics Cancelled - Data SIG 3/18 at CTC Cancelled - Project Night 3/19 at Braintree We obviously regret making this decision, but it's the right call, for now, to ensure that everyone remains safe and healthy. We will be exploring other options for engaging with the ChiPy community remotely in the near term, so please stay tuned. At times like this, we really value the strength of our online community through Slack, Github, and the mailing list. Regardless of whether we will meet in-person as frequently, the community stays active on Slack and helps provides the peer-to-peer support we love so much about the Python community. Stay healthy, ChiPy Board -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
