And if you are a django expert also please don't hesitate to comment on my Github issues. All these are just starters for discussions. As soon as we come to a consensus on each of those issues I will create a patch to solve the issue. After that we should have a solid state to begin with. I would then add django-cms and cmsplugin_blog to the project and Calvin can jump in and go nuts on the design. Since we don't have a good way to comment on the Google doc, I would suggest that comments on the contents in there should go to this list.

The problem with finding a room every month is, its a pain in the ass. We waste time begging for volunteers, we waste time commuting to a new, probably unknown space etc. etc. On the other hand it is interesting as well (at least I love to to go to new places all the time, and my Nexus S always tells where to go next, so I don't mind *g).

It would indeed be helpful. What I was worried about is, requesting someone for place to meet. I have seen lists where, people voluntarily comeup and say "use my office" etc. That's great gesture by anyone and I feel welcome by that. Otherwise, we can just meet at which ever place it is convenient till we find a more suitable regular place.

We will meet tonight at 7:30pm at hackerspace.sg I will prepare a short demonstration of our current process on redesigning python.sg. I'm sure while I am showing what we have done so far (not too much *g), ideas and suggestions from you guys will flow in. When we are at it, we could brainstorm a bit on how to proceed with the usergroup. The community seems to be a bit cluttered (Facebook vs. Mailman vs. Google Group / SMU meetup vs. this monthly meetup and whatnot) and it should be our goal to unite the Python User Group as good as possible. We could also brainstorm a bit about what everyone expects from visiting the user group. If Calvin doesn't drop into a deep sleep after his flight back to Singapore he will hopefully show up and share his great vision of a possible future of PUGSG. After that, which shouldn't take too long (please try to be on time), we might hopefully find a nearby venue to grab some food / beer.

You can find the meeting minutes and further discussion here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=de#!topic/pythonsg/nxrnUfy2rRE At the meetup we had a poll in order to find out which is the preferred group list (Facebook vs. Mailman vs. Google Groups) and it turned out that the majority prefers Google Groups (1 vs. 3 vs. 7). I would like to encourage anyone following this list to subsribe to the Google Group instead. Ideally we should close this list for new subscriptions and submissions or create some kind of auto-responder that redirects new members to the Google Group. On the other hand there might still be threads in here that are alive so maybe we should just let this list die slowly and point people who create new posts here to the Google Group manually. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Best regards, Martin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But did you see the sample space? How about taking stock of people online? I have +1 for Mailman. Because it is hosted by python.org +1 for Google Groups if it is without SPAM. -1 for Facebook. -- Senthil
