Hey Wal,

Please do bring along the camera and tripod..!

I was going to stick them on YouTube. Each talk should be no longer
than 7mins duration (5mins max for the talk and 2mins for questions).

Assuming it's a digital camera we can copy them to my laptop and I'll
liaise with Weta Digital regarding the special effects (they tell me
they're ahead of schedule on The Hobbit) and book Shirley Bassey to
sing the special theme tune we've got planned. ;-)

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the radio silence on this, but it's definitely still on! As the majority of people on the Doodle event said they could make Tuesday the 10th (that's this coming Tuesday!) I've spoken to the lovely folks at the Hub Westminster and we're on!

Eventbrite link is here -- please sign up: http://hubtwilightpycon.eventbrite.com/

I'm throwing together a mini-site to help us pick which videos we want to watch, it should be up by tonight and I'll post again when it is!

Looking forward to it!
Rami

Holy cow, you're right. I've asked the Hub to fix it, should be corrected soon!

Hi,

I'm a group-contact for Python on Freenode, am immediately responsible for
#python, and ultimately responsible for all channel names that start with
#python-* on that network. I also live in the the UK. :)

While #python-uk was created in 2010, it was only active for a handful of
days before it fell into disuse. I am not aware of any other UK specific
python irc channels.

If you have python-specific questions, there are many participants on
irc.freenode.net #python that are active in the Europe/London timezone, and
if you have social (non-python-programming-related, such as the best
toppiings on your pizza, or what you should charge per hour for a
medium-term consulting gig) questions that you want to ask, there's
#python-offtopic.

Happy to help,
Stephen Thorne

On freenode there is #python-edinburgh that I started a while back and its active but a small group or users. I also just jumped into #python-london to make that - anybody want to join?

Maybe there should be a general UK one?

I like the idea of a #python-uk chan. I'd certainly auto-join it on
start-up. :-)

The next Cambridge Python User Group meeting, as announced on our google group:

The next meeting will be Tuesday 1st May, 7.30pm at RealVNC (http://tinyurl.com/realvncoffices). We normally stop about 9.30pm, and go on to the pub.

This will be a talks meeting. I know Bryan had already volunteered a talk (at least partly on using Cython to vastly speed up mathematical calculations). Any other talks will be welcome.

Meetings after that should be:
	? Tuesday 12th June, a non-talks meeting
	  NOTE THE CHANGE OF DATE
	  in theory it should be 5th June, but I notice that's now a public holiday,
	  so it seems best to move it on
	? Tuesday 3rd July, a talks meeting again
	? Tuesday 7th August, a non-talks meeting again
