[melbourne-pug] In search of a convenor and talks for the next MPUG meeting (Monday, 1 April, at 6pm)

[Graeme Cross]

Hi everyone.



The next MPUG meeting is scheduled for this coming Monday, April 1,
6pm, at Inspire 9 (43 Stewart St, Richmond).



At this point, we don't have anyone lined up to convene the evening
(the usual suspects including myself are all away or busy that night)
or any presentations.



If you would like to convene the meeting and/or do a talk, can you let
the list know and also put your talk information on the MPUG wiki page
at:



[1]http://wiki.python.org/moin/MelbournePUG



Convening the meeting is pretty easy:



1. Make sure that there are enough chairs for everyone and the
projector is set up (someone from Inspire 9 is usually around to help
with this)

2. Ensure that everyone who wants to do a talk gets the chance

3. Organise pizza for those interested -- if this is too much, perhaps
just head down the road for some pizza or kebabs after the meeting
instead?



Remember that the call for papers for PyCon AU closes next week, so the
MPUG meeting is a good chance to test out ideas for PyCon AU talks
before getting your submissions in:

Thanks

That went well!

Thanks to everyone who showed up, to all the presenters who scrambled
to prepare a talk on such short notice, and to inspire9's superb
peoples for putting us up.

Reminder: next session is Monday, 1st April. No Fool's joke, despite
the long weekend and the close encounter with Easter, the Melbourne
Python Users Group will assemble again at Inspire9.

If you have ideas for presentations, or want to volunteer a colleague,
please write to the list.

Cheers,

J

Hi all,

Between the wiki going bust under the weight of all that spam and last
month's meeting changing dates, it appears we don't have talks prepared
for tomorrow's MPUG meeting.

However, the room is reserved at Inspire 9 (43 Stewart Street,
Richmond) at 6pm, and there will be pizza (ordered from crust at $10
per head), beer ($5 minimum donation, proceeds go to our generous venue
hosts Inspire9) and pythonic conversation afterwards.

Pycon Australia is almost upon us, and it's probable some of you
already have a presentation in the works. Why not rehearse it in front
of a friendly audience, in anticipation of pizza and beers?

Please write yourselves in
at [4]http://wiki.python.org/moin/MelbournePUG/.

See you there,

Javier
