Please go ahead - I don't see one. I do see there are people on python.meetup.com who have expressed an interest in such a group: Tempe, AZ (4 interested) Phoenix, AZ (3 interested) Start with creating a wiki page on www.python.org (unless you have your own hosting facilities). You can see an example of what someone else did at: http://wiki.python.org/moin/WinniPUG Then add your entry to the page at: http://wiki.python.org/moin/LocalUserGroups And then drop an email to the asking for a mailing list for your group. This will make you admin for that list, so you'll need to know your way around the Mailman interface a bit to add the group description, title and such. Not a big deal. And then once this is done, I can start making announcements and blog entries of the formation of the group. People will start joining the list, a discussion about where to hold meetings happens (unless you have a good place already, perhaps where you work), and meetings start. We can also get you set up on meetup.com, with your fee covered by the PSF, I believe. Being on meetup.com makes you easier to find for those not in the Python community, and gives you a recurring email notice and calendar feature. I'd be happy with work with you in getting this done. It can seem a bit formidable with all the details but if you'll do the legwork on the ground, we will support you with online facilities and promotion. -Jeff From mmarch at gmail.com Wed Jul 11 03:51:56 2007 From: mmarch at gmail.com (Michael March) Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2007 18:51:56 -0700 Subject: [group-organizers] Anyone know of any Arizona (Flagstaff/Phoenix/Tucson) based Python UGs?

If you want to change any of those, just let us know. For now, the list is private with private archives, and new subscribers have to be both approved (by one of you) and confirm their request.

The first meeting to get organized will be held on *Monday July 30th* at 6:30pm. Location is not yet set -- need input from potential attendees. If you are interested, a mailing list and wiki page have been established: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/sunpiggies http://wiki.python.org/moin/ValleyOfTheSunPiggies And also a Meetup.com group, where you can sign up to receive automated calendar reminders of group activities. http://python.meetup.com/184/ = North/South Carolina = While there is an existing group TriZPUG for the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill region, a new group is being formed for the *Charlotte and North-Central South Carolina area*. No meetings have yet been scheduled - to participate in discussions join the Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/charpy = Other Groups = There are 34 states with Python usergroups, leaving 16 without any Python organizations at all -- and this is just in the United States. We would like to encourage the formation of more groups worldwide. If you've been wishing there were meetings near you, step forward and help initiate or revitalize one. There are experienced organizers waiting to mentor you on the mailing list: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/group-organizers Usergroups are a lot of fun, a source of employment opportunities and a great way to enhance your programming and teaching skills. The Python Software Foundation and the experienced group organizers are ready to support you in your efforts.
