From stuart at swilliams.ca Mon Oct 3 11:37:27 2016 From: stuart at swilliams.ca (Stuart Williams) Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2016 10:37:27 -0500 Subject: [Python Wpg] Rebooting WinniPUG - join the Meetup. Message-ID: The Winnipeg Python Users Group has been around since 2005. The mailing list has 70 members and very little traffic. Last year I attended several Python Toronto Meetup meetings, and hosted one, and that has inspired me to want to rejuvenate this group. I think the local tech community has also changed a lot since six years ago when we stopped meeting regularly. There are several new companies using a lot of Python. Here's one example: http://ca.indeed.com/cmp/Sightline-Innovation/jobs/Senior-Software-Developer-0c1e023ba1b954ec One possibility for meetings is to have local companies host meetings, provide some refreshments, introduce their company (which helps them get the word out if they're hiring), and give a talk about what they're doing with Python, followed by other Python-related talks. I've created http://www.meetup.com/Winnipeg-Python-Meetup/ and plan to organize meetings via that tool. Please join! I don't plan to delete this mailing list anytime soon. If you're interested in helping organize the meetup let me know. I don't think it would be helpful for me to be the only organizer.
