Christian Long Here's a summary of the meeting. http://foxpython.tumblr.com/post/54395825752/first-meeting-of-the-fox-valley-python-user-group Text of the summary Foxpug meeting notes July 1, 2013 7pm Attending Kathy Lynch Christian Long Brandon Harshaw Kim Nguyen Mamadou Coubiliay Branding We discussed what to call ourselves. Long name: Fox Valley Python User Group Short name: FoxPUG Social media Group members volunteered to create and maintain FoxPUG accounts on various social media sites We are on, or soon will be on: Google+, Twitter, Tumblr , a Plone site hosted by UW-Oshkosh, Facebook , and a mailing list. You can also email us at info at foxpug.org. Schedule We decided to hold the meetings on the first Monday of every month, from 7pm to 8:30 pm. For now, we are meeting in Halsey, room 101, on the UW-Oshkosh campus. The Halsey Science Building is located at 921 Elmwood Ave, Oshkosh, WI. Parking is on Scott street. However, the next two meetings will be on the second Monday rather than the first Monday. So, here?s the upcoming schedule, for the rest of 2013 August 12 September 9 October 7 November 4 December 2 French-speakers were in the majority at the meeting, so French was adopted as an official language. Focus We encourage all members to participate by presenting on Python-related topics large and small. Presentations should be brief, informal and fun. Teaching language features or modules from the standard library: these are good ideas for presentations. We discussed holding an occasional kids event, where we would teach Scratch to the younger kids and Python to the older kids. Possibly we will have a group-curated list of education topics. Everyone is in charge of promotion and spreading the word about this new group. We will check on the possibility of parking near Sage Hall and using Sage Hall for our meeting space. However, the computer lab in Halsey room 101 is a fine meeting space for now. Christian Long made a brief presentation on list comprehensions and generator expressions. Kim Nguyen spoke about Diazo themeing and responsive design for Plone sites. A good first meeting. We welcome you to join us! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
