The code is open and on github so please fork and add contributions. So far I've been using app engine and Flask[1] although there is some flexibility in this - I just wanted to try them out really. :) I and Mark are actively working to add some stuff - so you may want to check in and make sure we don't collide. If we have any members or contacts that could help us out on the design front that would be great. So far nothing is happening in that area.

The fourth Tuesday is going to be a regular meet and I think we will go to Bert's bar again (but moving to the bar across the road when the live music starts). The first meet went very well with eight people turning up I got to meet a few new faces and have some interested conversations. We also plan to try and arrange a hack session of some sort where we can all code on open source projects. More info on this to come and we figure out the details.

Eight of us met up at Bert's Bar. They have a live band from 7.30 every Tuesday night, which was good - just a bit loud for our purposes, so after eating we moved across the road to Teuchters, which was a bit quieter. This worked well, so we plan to stick with this, unless there are any complaints! ** Next meeting: Tuesday 28th September, Bert's Bar, 6.30pm ** Agenda ~~~~~~ There was no formal agenda, but the following things were discussed: The future of the group ----------------------- We had a discussion about what the group could organise in future: * Remain as a drinking club. This was unanimously agreed. It seems we all quite like a beer with our geeky chat. * Use the mailing list to support each other in our day-jobs -- for technical questions and recruitment. Met with general enthusiasm. Feel free to mail the list if anything comes up! * Organised Hack Sessions This would be a daytime (or early evening?) meet up with the aim of supporting an open source project. The suggestion had a generally positive response. I'll send information about this in a separate email, as this one got too long! * Organise technical talks. Response was generally positive, but was considered difficult to organise, and there was a fear that we'd arrange a talk and few people might come. If anyone plans to talk at EuroPython next year (I do, vaguely), I may try to organise a practise run before that, and see how it goes. * Run a Python Dojo. There was a talk about this at Europython, and it seemed pretty cool. Again, the response was positive, but we're going to put it on the backburner, and perhaps revive it if the group gains a more active following. Other than that, my memories are quite fuzzy, so I'll leave this for the group to digest. Any feedback of any kind welcome! --Mark
