[Madison] welcome, and upcoming meeting

[Jim Steil]

I'm Jim Steil and I'm been using Python for the past 3 years or so.  I'm 
interested in learning more about Python and helping to promote it in 
the Madison area. I live and work in Dodgeville but have spent the past 
20 years working in IT in the Madison area.  I have significant past 
experience with the IBM AS/400 (and past President of the Madison user 
group) and PowerBuilder.  I'm currently a heavy user of TurboGears and 
ReportLab.  Looking forward to learning new things and sharing what I've 
already learned.  I attended PyCon in Dallas in 2007.

This last spring I went to PyCon in Chicago, where I found there was no user group in Madison, but plenty of advice on how to start one, so I am attempting to do so. Things have become a bit frenetic in my life, which has interfered with promoting the group, but perhaps some of you can help spread the word. :)
