At every meeting we have had both beginning programmers, people who are just starting to use Python, as well as experienced Python programmers. Don't be intimidated about coming to a meeting. Note that ChiPy is not a formal organization. We collect no dues, elect no officers, and keep no roster. Signing up for the mailing list carries no obligation. Nor does showing up at the meetings. Nor, at least so far, does anything else we have done, although we always appreciate it when our presenters show up. (They usually do!) http://chipy.org
