From judy at judy.co.uk Mon Jan 25 04:51:14 2016 From: judy at judy.co.uk (Mark Smith) Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2016 09:51:14 +0000 Subject: [Python Edinburgh] Python pub meetup this month Message-ID: Hi All, We'll be having a pub meetup this month, instead of talks. I'm just going to link to the Meetup page because it's easiest: http://www.meetup.com/Python-Edinburgh/events/227549272/ There's no need to RSVP. We'll be there from 6:30pm, and there will be printouts of the Python logo on the table(s) to make us easy to recognise.

To that end, I'm looking for some volunteers to help me run the group. Despite my ability to make it look complicated, the amount of work is not actually that high. That said, I think with a little bit more time dedicated to it, we could really help this group flourish. I'm looking for volunteers for the following roles: Talk Organiser: Speakers need to be found and cajoled into writing and giving talks. In the short term, this isn't a problem - people come to me and *ask* to give talks! Website Maintainer: The website (www.pythonedinburgh.org) is a Django app, hosted on Heroku. It needs some love - especially on the HTML/CSS side of things (it's a reasonably plain Bootstrap front-end at the moment). Potentially, it could also be expanded to include a blog or whatever direction the group wishes to take it in. Dojo Host(s): I'd like more people to take on the role of dojo host, so that I'm not a bottleneck for running dojos. James did a great job of this a few months ago, but I'd like some more people who feel comfortable taking on this role. Outreach Coordinator: We should run more events with the aim of introducing new people to Python and encouraging diversity within the group. PyLadies has been one of the best things that's ever happened to us regarding encouraging women to attend Python Edinburgh events. I'd like to associate us with educational institutions, under-represented communities and charities. If you'd be interested in one or more of these roles, please email me (directly, don't hit reply!) listing which roles you're interested in. I would particularly like to encourage women to apply because we should have significant representation in these roles. Here's to a better organised 2016!

Not from any under-represented group though so happy let any more diverse people have the role.
