Message-ID: I've given up on getting a speaker for our March 13 meeting for several reasons (noted below as a postscript as they probably don't really matter much). so the question is what to do? * have a meet and greet and perhaps talk out possible future talks or other local python community issues. * cancel the meeting. * other.... Please reply with thanks, jim PS: * i've been walking too close to the edge: i should have several meetings definitely planned in advance but have none--i'll address this is a separate post. * pycon is taking people away during the meeting week. * though my efforts are admittedly tepid, those i've made have failed to yield someone able to speak on march 13 (some will be at pycon, others have other reasons).

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <842cee825b7e7beb3be10c5ac05460d6@well.com> pycon occurs march 13 to march 21, which covers both our regular thursday as well as the thursday following (i.e. the second thursday and also the third thursday). my reaction to looking at the calendar was as i suggested: meet and greet or cancel or some other focus on march 13. but that's just me.

It could be fun to try a 'cloud and stick figure' talk for whatever sessions I attend. Alternately, I could take a larger chunk of the meeting and give a "programming the XO" more depth oriented speech similar to the one I'm giving at PyCon. Is there a second local Python group? I feel like I'm monopolizing this one.
