[Python Edinburgh] Python Dojo - Tuesday, 4th August, 6:30pm

[Laurence Billingham]

Thank you Mark,

Is there a way I can help in organizing pythonedinburgh meetings?
Is there some equivalent of the check lists at
https://github.com/techmeetup/edinburgh? Would creating one help?
(I only found site and dojo stuff at https://github.com/python-edinburgh/)

Thanks,
Laurence
