[python-uk] FW: BCS OOPS / Python Community

[Andy Robinson]

Hi everybody!

First a reminder that the First UK Python Conference is late next
week!  I think we should have some kind of inaugural UK User Group 
meeting or something down there, and pick a chairman/secretary/whatever.

Secondly, the British Computer Society OOPS chapter would like to
do stuff with us (see below).  I have realised just how overcommitted I am
in the last 3 months, and while IO tend to hear about a lot of stuff
I just can't follow through to organizing it.  So if anyone fancies
organizing events, that would be great.  We are lucky in theat the ACCU
and BCS both have infrastructure and experience, and it's just a matter
of deciding what should happen and broadcasting to speakers.

Best Regards


Andy Robinson
