[python-uk] Londoners - interested by a pyramid meetup?

[Rachid Belaid]

Hi James,

Great to see somebody else interested.

About the date, I was thinking of doing it 2 weeks after the django (soon)
and python meetup ( 18 April) .

First to not clashing with them with date and secondly to be able to talk
with some peoples there who could be interested by pyramid but maybe are
not use it yet.

So I was thinking more about something happening in the week :  29th April
- 3rd May ...

Personally, I will like to not rush the first meetup to be able to have
people to prepare few short talks for newcomers.

What do you think? If you guys want to make it more as a drink for the
first time then I m ok with that, I'm already glad that we have a number of
people interested.

Over the weekend I will look at setting up the meetup and propose some
talks idea (I have already shit loads in mind).

Let me know your feedback and what you expect from a Pyramid meetup
