[PSF-Community] Introductions

Tue Sep 22 01:16:15 CEST 2015

So while we're on the topic of introductions...

Hi, I'm Xuanyi (most people call me Chewxy). I co-run the Sydney Python
group (SyPy). If anyone here's from Sydney, Australia (as opposed to Sydney
Nova Scotia Canada), please do feel free to join us. We meet up every first
thursday of the month (check meetup.com).

Cheers
