Message-ID: Hi folks, We moved office a few months back and were provided with a 21U 600mm*600mm free standing network cabinet. Unfortunately, we had asked for a server cabinet but our providers have said "no take backs". A few photos. Anyway, if anyone is interested, has some means of transport, and can afford to give us ?200 for it, please drop me a shout and we can organise something that suits time-wise. For directions, we're over in Orchard Brae House. I'll be sticking up on Gumtree and the like in the next few days but wanted to check with folks on Edinburgh Python and EdLUG first.

Since Mark is out of town this week I'll organise the venue. The meetup will be held today at *Milnes Bar* on the corner of Rose St and Hanover St. I've already reserved a table for us, but please note it's *not in The Little Kremlin* room downstairs, as that's already booked for another event. We will have a printout of the python logo on the table. For those who haven't been before, it's a great informal way to meet fellow Python developers and chat about anything you find interesting! We welcome anybody who's interested in Python at any level. Feel free to bring a laptop and your latest project/problem if you're looking for support - we're a friendly and helpful bunch. The event is covered by our code of conduct: https://mighty-inlet-4698.herokuapp.com/pages/code-of-conduct/ to ensure a welcoming and friendly environment for all. Looking forward to seeing you!

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello, Myself and several colleagues (at least 4) at Wood Mackenzie would be really interested in such a pydata group and meetup. We attend the Edinburgh R user group (http://edinbr.org/) meetings but these obviously only cover R and are more on the academic side of things. There would be a lot of interest here in a pyhton and data science group as my feeling is that this is less of a focus of the usual python meetups. Please keep me informed of any developments and feel free to contact me.

As part of my work (University of Edinburgh) I'm possibly looking for someone to develop a custom web application and database to manage and record contact with a pool of volunteers for psychology experiments. I suspect this would suit an independent web dev, and it would be around a month's full-time work for those advanced in the web arts. Technology and timescale negotiable. Please let me know if you're interested. I'll also be at the pub meetup tonight if you want to chat about this in person, look for a human in a blue lionfish t-shirt.

We have an internal python user group which is focused mainly on the use of Python with Geographic data (GIS). We are using mainly ESRI based technology, but also open source products such as QGIS. The use of R came up at the last meeeting.

Hi all, I am sure there will be interest from people at the University too - in my school (School of GeoSciences) we have many people using python/R to do all sorts of processing. I'd be interested in attending such a meeting. I will also advertise at work.
