From jonah at urban.net Fri Jul 2 14:44:00 2004 From: jonah at urban.net (Jonah Crawford) Date: Fri Jul 2 14:44:10 2004 Subject: [DCPIGgies] ZPUG meeting July 8th Message-ID: After a hiatus, a new group for Python, Zope, and Plone programmers in DC is forming. Our goal is to network and further educate ourselves on programming in Python. While not exclusively for Zope or Plone developers, we expect there to be a focus for these technologies. We have a formation meeting scheduled: Thursday, July 8th 7:00pm-9:00pm Porter Novelli Board Room, 1909 K Street NW. This is very close to both the red line and orange lines of the DC Metro, and close to many restaurants and bars. For information on the meeting, please see http://zpugdc.org/meetings/mtg1. At our first meeting, we'd like to plan the group and gauge interest for regular meetings and presentations. After the meeting, we'll likely adjourn to a nearby bar for a round of drinks. Our mailing list will announce future meetings, and provide social, job-board, and technical support for DC-area Python, Zope, and Plone users. You can subscribe by sending an email (with the subject "subscribe") to zpugdc@lists.zpugdc.org. You can read archives of the mailing list at http://www.zpugdc.org/lists/zpugdc. If you can't make it, but might be interested in a DC Zope/Python users group, please email us and let us know: info@zpugdc.org. Thanks! - Joel Burton & Jonah Crawford for the Zope/Python Users Group of DC.
