Does anyone want to take charge of organizing an open space at PyCon?  
There are conflicts on every night, so I don't want to make the tough 
decision... :)

Also, I'm planning to try these stickers again to identify Boston Python 
members: http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/201202/pycon_badge_flags.html   
They worked ok last year, though people couldn't figure out the folding, 
and they got a little beat up hanging off the side.  But I can print 
them myself.  Any other ideas?

--Ned.

I don't know if I'll be able to setup an open space (but might if I don't
see anyone else doing so) but I am absolutely stealing your badge idea!

You were thinking about what ? Organizing an openspace about user
groups in general ?

I think every year had a pretty interesting user groups / community open 
space since I started attending PyCon.  :-)

Then this should be setup, could we already reserved a spot or it will
be done on site at PyCon ?

Yes:

There are other events every night though.  When is best?  Saturday 
right after the lightning talks?

I see that the only room available is the one that's going to be used 
for the TIP BoF one hour later.  Their meeting is quite involved and I 
suspect that they would be spilling in the room to do some setup before 
their time.  What about Friday, from 19:00 to 20:00 in GAMR1?

OTOH, the TIP BoF is quite popular... If we are in the same room right
before them we might get even better attendance!

That's a good point.  Anyone else with an opinion on the day?  We more 
or less have a tie and I want to book this one ASAP before all these 
prime spots get taken by people to talk about code and drink beer.

Hello all,

Some notes I took in the meeting were added at the end of this wiki 
page:

http://wiki.python.org/moin/StartingYourUsersGroup

The introduction was also improved and links to the two recommended 
videos
to watch were added.  Still some organizing is needed, but I hope 
overall
the page is easier to read now.

The introduction to this other related page was also improved:

http://wiki.python.org/moin/LocalUserGroups

Some content of this page was moved to the StartingYourUserGroup
page, as it made more sense there.

Thanks to Asheesh for providing me feedback and suggestions during the 
sprints.

Regards,
Patricio

Very brief intro and hello -- I'm Matt Woodward, long-time web developer
but relatively new to Python. I'm in the Seattle area and looking to get
more involved and active in the Seattle Python and Django UGs as well as
start doing some Python teaching in the Seattle area, so this seems like
it'll be a great resource!

Looking forward to earning my Python stripes and giving back to the
community however I can.

Just to make sure you know about them, here are 3 ways the PSF can help
support your local Python user group:

1. Sprint funding, through http://pythonsprints.com/

2. Outreach and education funding (e.g. intro workshop, diversity
workshops), through
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/outreach-and-education

3. Other grants, through the main grants program (
http://www.python.org/psf/grants/)

Hi everyone - I thought I'd jump on the introductions bandwagon.  I'm
Barbara Shaurette - I've been active in the Python and Django communities
in San Francisco, Lawrence (KS) and Portland, OR for several years.  I
recently moved to Austin, TX where I'm the organizer of the local PyLadies
chapter.  I've also started teaching here (I've got an 'Intro to Python'
coming up in April, and I was one of the teachers on the Young Coders
tutorial at PyCon - I'm working on some plans to teach local kids using
that material).

I just wanted to say thanks for the funding links - I haven't needed to
request funding for anything yet, but it's nice to know that the resources
are there.

Thanks!

- Barbara

Hey everyone,

I'll jump in a add a little bit.

I am Albert O'Connor and I organize WatPy (watpy.ca) a Python users group
in Waterloo Ontario which is just over a year now.

We recently did some teaching, one session for people who have never coded
before and another for coders.

The PSF funded the food via the programs outlined above. It was a nice way
to get people out and focused for a multi hour session. We started with the
materials created for the Boston Python Workshop and Open Hatch and built a
bit on them.

We used a shared instance of iPython Notebook instead of codebat to enable
people to interact with Python syntax and semantics without worrying about
installing it on their laptops -- which we subsequently did, but a web
based intro seemed to help most people.

Hi, I'm Andy Fundinger. I am the Treasurer for MakerBar, a Hackerspace in
Hoboken, New Jersey.

While we are not purely a python user group we do run Python events about
twice a month, usually Programming for non-programmers using Learn Python
the Hard Way or Python on the Raspberry Pi. We are self funded and charge
for our classes. That may sound out of place, but we host all comers at 2
open nights a week and those are free.
Our website is http://makerbar.com

Hi everyone,

I'm Ryan Freckleton. I co-organize PySprings (http://pysprings.org) along
with Tim Flink. I've been using Python for 12 years or so, mostly in web
development and scientific computing.

We just had an excellent workshop on Flask and tomorrow we'll be having a
new format "project night" to work on The Hitchiker's Guide to Python and
PyLint documentation. It's following a bit of a code retreat format with
alternating work and reflection periods, with some techniques from
exploratory testing mixed in. I'll post a blog on how it goes.


Hmmm, what else. We've found catering with subway (and veggie/vegan
sandwiches) to be a good common denominator for food. We meet at a
coworking cooperative here locally.

Subject: [group-organizers] PySprings Project Night Format
Message-ID: <CAL9COgXt8s3qaLkUVHmog3wYHw07G9GzpNoRuX3sDBRWrw+qXg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

Here's my writeup of the PySprings project night format. This time we
focused on adding PyLint documentation to The Hithchiker's Guide to Python.
The feedback I got was quite positive, everyone seemed to enjoy the
semi-structured activity and freedom to redirect and move the topics of the
group.

We attempted to go in small iterations, about 35 minutes of small-group
work followed by about 20 minutes of sharing.

1. Objective/Introduction
This is a roundtable where we discuss the goals of our end product (in this
case, an introduction to PyLint) and any additional skills we want to
develop. For our group this was becoming more familiar with git and github.

I used a 15 minute time-timer to timebox this. Some people started on phase
2. as we discussed which was fine. The point of this format is to add the
minimal amount of structure so that people feel comfortable.

2. Introduction of Material
We start by making sure everyone can check out the docs and build it.
Mentors chat with participants to confirm that everything's going well,
which will uncover some issues. In our case we ran into some issues with
SSH keys. Besides that, everyone had a development system configured.

Since we did not run into any major learnings or issues, we did not have a
group discussion after this activity.

3. Initial Exploration (timeboxed)
Based on the goals from the roundtable, we created an outline of topics to
cover in PyLint and had volunteers assign their names to the etherpad next
to each topic. We found resources and facts for installation, hello-world
use, configuration best practices, what Pylint was and how it was important.

After about 35 minutes, we went around and had verbal discussion on what we
learned, this also brought up some additional areas for investigation.

At this point, I called for a quick mini-retrospective on the project night
so far, we used the "delta/positive" method. I asked each member to list
one thing that was a positive about their experience so far and one thing
that to change.

4. Creation
At this point, we decided to use the guidance generated by the exploration
to start writing up the documentation. This triggered a discussion about
github, forking and pull requests. The co-organizer, who is quite familiar
with git, gave a walk through of how to fork a repo and push to it on the
projector. I observed and made sure everyone was able to follow.

At this point, we broke up into pairs to work on documentation and review.
As documentation it was completed and pushed to the PySprings shared
repository for integration before pull requests are sent to Ken Reitz.

5. Other notes
Having an open format really helped foster collaboration and discussion of
goals and what to do next. Making sure everyone is keeping up by having
one-on-one chats seems to also be an important technique.

Hello, all!

My name is Laura Cassell and I'm the founder of PyLadies Atlanta, or PyLadiesATL. I've been running this python user group for a little over a year, we decided to become an official PyLadies chapter about 8 months ago. We originally were simply an offshoot of the much larger PyAtl group.
Currently it's just me organizing and running events, but that's ok as our membership is currently sitting at just under 50 people. I'm very excited that I found this list and have been gathering ideas from a few posts already! I hope to learn more from folks who have been doing this longer than I.  Thanks so much!

Message-ID: <5155FD2D.70709@nedbatchelder.com>

I always have a problem post-PyCon, which is that I mean to watch videos 
of talks I didn't see, but then I don't watch them.  Has anyone tried 
running an event that consists just of watching PyCon videos together?  
A poll beforehand could select the videos to screen, then put the video 
on the big screen, watch together, and have a q+a/discussion 
afterward.   Does this work?  Is it weird to watch a talk on video in 
person?

Hummmm I like this idea !

Cause it is the same thing for, i've basically saw nothing at PyCon
cause i was always in the greenroom and i told myself not worry cause
i will saw the video after from Pyvideo.

I'm wondering if we'll select a couple of interesting videos and what
them at our next Project Night. Do you think it could appropriate for
this kind of event ?

I have also wanted to do this with classic talks which I have a desire to
share with people.

I am not sure if it would be weird though. I think voting by attendees
would definitely help to choose from the huge amount of available content.

The other problem are some good talks are also somewhat long so it is hard
to watch very many of them in an evening.

Maybe a mini filmfest over multiple days is in order.

David Gouldin and I ran an event like this in Dallas some years ago.
We bought a keg of beer and some pizza, publicized the event, and had
only 5-ish people show up.  On the other hand, 5 people in Dallas was
about normal for a community event, and the people that came seemed to
enjoy it.  We watched, I think, 5 talks and took short breaks between
them.

I don't think it's weird to watch a talk video in person, or indeed to
time-shift as a group in general, or to watch a live thing as a group
though not together in person, etc, etc.  Our existing media
consumption patterns are mostly accidents of history, I think.

rifftrax.com does augmented audio tracks to sync with existing media.
HotPotato did internet-based group forming around live events, totally
a startup idea I hoped to do some day.  Acquired by Facebook long
before we could see if it worked or mattered - a great loss.

There is fertile ground here, as any MOOC'er likely knows. ;-)

I've been to a couple of "retrospectives" both for Pycon and for some more
"scientific" conferences. It works pretty well, and the discussions
afterwards are often quite interesting. I think it is better to have
someone else do a small talk on someone else's Pycon talk than watch the
videos all together (thought I never tried the latter).

We've done this a couple times at the Dayton Dynamic Languages meeting,
where it's perfect because it's a very small but chatty group.  A single
30-min video takes us about two hours since we're constantly stopping the
video, saying, "Wait, what?", explaining things to one another, and trying
things out.  If you can get that dynamic going, it's much more valuable
than just watching videos alone.

Good reminder, we should really do this more.

Maybe it would make the most sense to group the videos around a loose
theme, like web programming or big data and then include a couple of
relevant lightning talks?

Comfy chairs and popcorn (maybe beer too) would also be a plus.
Cheers,
Deb
